Food Texture Modification

Food texture modification involves altering the physical consistency of foods to make them safer and easier to eat for individuals with swallowing difficulties or other medical conditions. This can include pureeing solid foods, thickening liquids, or modifying textures to prevent choking and improve swallowing safety. The goal is to maintain nutritional value and enjoyment while reducing the risk of choking or aspiration. These modifications are often guided by healthcare professionals and tailored to each person’s needs, ensuring they receive adequate nourishment in a manageable and comfortable form.
