Modified texture diets

Modified texture diets are specialized meal plans designed for individuals who have difficulty chewing or swallowing, often due to medical conditions. These diets adjust the texture of foods to ensure they are safe and easier to consume. Depending on individual needs, foods may be pureed, minced, or softened to reduce the risk of choking and make eating more manageable. Healthcare professionals may prescribe these diets for patients with conditions like stroke, neurological disorders, or elderly individuals. The goal is to maintain nutrition and pleasure in eating while accommodating unique challenges related to food intake.
