Mackerel
This fish is packed with healthy fish fats, which protect against cardiovascular disease. Just like in herring, salmon and sardines by the way. Take some smoked mackerel with you for an afternoon sandwich or grab a herring at the fish cart.
Egg
One egg provides a quarter of the daily recommendation of vitamin D. And then it’s also full of protein!
Kiwi
A little vitamin C bomb (more than 100 percent of the recommended amount per day!), which is also easy to puree for people who have trouble chewing and swallowing.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is good for cholesterol management and it contains special fibers that are beneficial for blood sugar levels. Delicious as porridge in the morning. Easy to prepare in the microwave, or buy ready-to-eat oatmeal from the refrigerator.
strawberries
A real treat and also super healthy. Rich in vitamin C and folic acid. And rich in potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure.
Liver
It is recommended for those who love it. Because liver is very rich in iron, B vitamins, vitamin A and the mineral selenium, which helps detoxify. Slices of liver sausage, liver on bread or chicken livers with a hot meal perhaps?
plums
Constipation is a very common ailment in the elderly. In the nursing home, 80 percent of the people suffer from it. Drinking lots of vegetables, fruit and enough exercise can help. Prunes naturally have a laxative effect due to the type of sugar (sorbitol) they contain. Fresh, dried or pureed: everything is possible.
(Fruit) cottage cheese
Of all spoonable dairy products, cottage cheese contains the most protein. Ideal for people with malnutrition and a tasty and healthy snack.
