Dysphagia diet

Dysphagia diet refers to a set of dietary guidelines designed for individuals who have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). This diet aims to make food easier to chew and swallow, reducing the risk of choking and aspiration. It typically involves modifying food textures, such as pureeing foods or serving them soft and moist. Drinks may also be thickened to prevent aspiration. The diet is categorized into different levels, depending on the severity of swallowing difficulties, ensuring that individuals can enjoy safe and nutritious meals tailored to their needs.
