On World Alzheimer’s Day, we’re recognising the role nutrition can play in wound prevention and healing for people living with Alzheimer’s.

As Alzheimer’s progresses, changes in appetite, swallowing, mobility and communication can make it harder to eat and drink well.

Good nutrition supports skin health and the body’s ability to heal, making it an important consideration for people at risk of skin tears, pressure injuries and wounds.

Supporting nutritional needs is one part of providing care that protects health, comfort and dignity.

Is nutrition being overlooked in wound care?

Nutrition plays an important role in wound healing, yet malnutrition remains an often under-recognised and modifiable risk factor for chronic and slow-to-heal wounds.

When the body doesn’t receive enough energy, protein and essential nutrients, it may not have the nutrients needed to support tissue repair and recovery.

Screening for malnutrition risk and referring for appropriate nutrition assessment can help ensure nutritional needs are identified and addressed as part of comprehensive wound care.

Because wound care is about more than the wound. It’s about the whole person.

We’re here at the Dietitians New Zealand !

It’s great to reconnect with the New Zealand dietetics community and hear directly from dietitians about the needs and challenges they’re seeing in practice.

The Flavour Creations team is sharing a range of our nutrition products, including:

• RECOVER Energy + Protein
• Argie Wound Care
• AdVital Complete Nutrition
• SCREAMIES No-Melt Ice-Scream
• instant THICK Liquid

From nutrition support and wound care to dysphagia, there’s been plenty to discuss and share.

Thank you to Dietitians New Zealand for bringing the profession together. We’re looking forward to the rest of the conference.

It's National Diabetes Week! 💙

For people living with diabetes, steady blood glucose starts with what's on the plate. Low-GI foods break down slowly, releasing energy at a gentler pace, helping smooth out the peaks and troughs in blood sugar.

AdVital Nutritionally Complete Neutral Powder is low GI, with 15g of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and just 6.8g of carbs per scoop. Stir it into everyday meals and drinks for complete nutrition that's easy on your carb count.

Always chat to your GP, dietitian or diabetes educator about what's right for you.

Good immune health starts with good nutrition. 💪 Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies can quietly compromise immune function, raising the risk of infection and slowing recovery.

The AdVital range is built to help close those gaps with complete, targeted nutrition that fits easily into daily care. Every AdVital product delivers 27 vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Zinc, supporting immune health and recovery.
