Download or read book A Cookbook for Caregivers written by Janet Laidler and published by Janet Laidler. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is especially made for burgeoning population of caregivers who are cooking for their aging parents on a daily basis. But it is more than just recipes in a cookbook. This is a step-by-step guide to managing time for meal planning, shopping, preparation and serving healthy, delicious meals. Janet Laidler, a professional chef and caregiver, developed it based on the foods and phytonutrients that are proven to help reverse the effects of aging on our brains. Her recommendations focus on specific foods for anti-aging, protein rotation, and plain old fashioned taste! And, it extends beyond seniors, as our diet affects our wellbeing at any age. Janet found that people still want to eat the food they grew up with whether it is good for them or not. This book features recipes for common comfort meals presenting fresh combinations of food intended to help the absorption of nutrients through the blood-brain barrier in a variety of the brain's lobes. Even working parents with children and teens, young professionals or grad students with little time on their hands will appreciate the time saving methods for preparing fresh grocery-to-table meals. This book makes it so much easier than a traditional cookbook. The book provides a week's worth of meals, a list of the kitchen tools needed, and a grocery list. Every meal's preparation is timed out with step-by-step instructions. You go to the store only once, and by the end of the week, all of the food is used...no waste. Everything is fresh, tastes better and is healthier. When she cooked for her parents, she saw a noticeable improvement in their attentiveness and energy. She talked to their doctor and the nurse at the home care agency about getting them healthier meals, explaining the improvement she saw. They both told her there are no guides or books for caregivers about cooking for home care or seniors, just regular cookbooks. After searching the internet and bookstores, and could find nothing that addressed the needs of caregivers for recipes and meal planning, let alone guides for shopping or time management. And certainly nothing about the importance of protein rotation and the planning that alone requires. So, she wrote the book herself and this book fills that void. "Everyone, sometime in their life, will take care of the elderly. Our mother, father, family member or very close friend will need special, enduring care. Ms. Laidler has written a gem. She has solved the nutrition question of, "What nutritious food do we provide the person in our care?" Well, here it is, your step by step instructional guide to ensure that your loved one will eat and receive a balanced, well rounded diet. This is a book is every caretaker should own."

Download or read book Alzheimer s Caf written by Derek Grant and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day around the world, people living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia suffer adverse consequences due to inadequate feeding regimens. Try as they may, many caregivers at home and in healthcare facilities simply do not have the necessary resources to serve individually-specific meals within calming, unhurried environments. They neither have the time needed nor expertise to deal with the multitude of illusion-driven emotions that this disease often plays on appetites. Are you a caregiver of an otherwise healthy person who is being nutritionally challenged due to confusion caused by a neurodegenerative disease? Derek Grant leaves no stone or stimuli unturned in detailing the best possible methods for feeding sufferers of dementia-related cognitive impairment in the most emotionally calming, time independent of ways.When the mind is troubled, food is rarely a priority, but when the mind is calm, food becomes much more palatable. This holds true for a cranky child, a troubled teen, an adult in a mid-life crisis, or for an elderly dementia patient. The approach is all the same. Unfortunately, for the latter demographic, even small amounts of missed daily nutrients can quickly add up and increase the risk of falling and other untimely events. In this book, you will quickly learn how to soothe the emotions with sensory preparation, promote a more stimulating lifestyle, and strengthen the limbic system through exercise and nutrition. Once the mind's table is set - then - foods can be presented in the most simplified of ways. This writing was inspired by a first-hand experience in caregiving to a family member. At 95 years of age, she had stopped eating entirely, and slipped down to the 80-pound mark on the weight scales. Medical professionals diagnosed her to be in the final stage of dementia, and in a "nothing left that we can do for her" situation. Not so fast!Emaciated, irritated, and very confused. Far too confused to think about eating. Something had to be done and done soon!Calm the mind and emotions first, and then pitch the food. That seemed like as good a plan as any: Music-evoked Autobiographical Memories Guided Imagery by Digital Frame Box Breathing / Limbic Breathing Nursery Rhyme Mantras The Psychology of Color and Light Dance, Laugh, Sing, Mime, Improvise 24/7 Compartmentalized Food Offerings Fast forward 16 months and she has gained 20 pounds, resumed operating a personal computer, singing favorite songs, solving math problems, feeding herself on occasion, and even correcting healthcare staff on their grammar. Doctors, lawyers, healthcare professionals or anyone privy to someone suffering from these eating challenges will benefit from this reading. Learn how to calm the mind, maximize mental acuity, and choose the best foods possible to thwart the progression of the disease. This is neither snake oil nor rocket science. It's just common sense and sensory practices that can be used with a little effort, ingenuity, and time invested. If eating at the Alzheimer's Café improved the health and wellness of a written off, 95-year-old diner - then it has a better-than-average chance of working for all!
