The aim of the project was to improve the knowledge and skills of social workers and seniors in the area of nutritional habits, selection and preparation of dishes promoting health and contributing to the elimination of health problems typical of senior age through two-stage education.
The project outputs include the creation of interactive web pages and printed cards with nutrition recommendations for seniors. The interactive web pages provide advice and recommendations, possibility of evaluating the energy intake and expenditure and principles of composing menu for specific health problems and diseases.
We have contributed to meeting the current need to improve the nutritional and exercise regime of the senior population and produced a methodology for use in intervention activities.
