Texture Modified Diet

A Texture Modified Diet involves altering the texture of foods to make swallowing safer and easier for individuals with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). This may include pureeing foods to a smooth consistency, chopping or softening solids, or providing liquids at specific thickness levels. The goal is to reduce the risk of choking or aspiration while maintaining as much flavor and nutrition as possible. Such diets are often recommended by healthcare professionals to support safe eating and improving nutrition for those with swallowing impairments.
