Gut-Healthy Tips Christine Link, MBA, RD, LD Martin Bros. Minnesota Marketing Dietitian

We are learning more and more about the importance of our gut and gastrointestinal tract in maintaining health and immunity. By now, many of us have heard about good bacteria and its benefits for our gut. But, where can you find these good bacteria and what can we do to maintain or improve our health?

Here are some tips from the National Institute of Health for improving our gut health:

As for good bacteria, one trendy type of food that has some good bacteria in it is fermented food. The research on fermented food is promising. It may help improve digestion and boost immunity. Here are a few fermented foods – some you may know and love and some you may want to check out!

TEMPEH: Made from soybeans that are fermented and formed into a patty.

It’s high in protein and fiber and is sometimes used as a meat alternative.

MISO: Basically a fermented condiment. It’s a paste used in Japanese cooking and delivers an umami flavor.

SAUERKRAUT: A familiar fermented cabbage dish. It has a long shelf life and distinctive sour flavor.

• Eat slower

KIMCHI: A staple in Korean cuisine. It’s sauerkraut’s spicy cousin!

• Enjoy smaller meals

YOGURT: Look for products labeled with the “live and active cultures” seal.

• Set a bedtime for your gut • Manage stress

KEFIR: A fermented milk drink that tastes like drinkable yogurt. Great for smoothies!

• Create a routine

KOMBUCHA: Gaining in popularity, it is a fermented sweetened tea.

• Consider probiotics

Bariatric care

SENIOR LIVING

Kyndra Hamblin, RD, LD

Martin Bros. Missouri Marketing Dietitian

According to the United States Census Bureau, the number of people over 65 years of age is expected to increase from approximately 35 million in 2000 to an estimated 71 million in 2030. Signs suggest that of those baby boomers, those born in the later years tend to have a higher BMI (Body Mass Index) on average at younger ages and exhibit a more rapid increase in BMI over the years as compared to those born in earlier years. Therefore, due to the sheer number of the baby boomer generation, not only are we going to see an increase in the number of elderly entering senior living facilities but also we will see a rise in those considered bariatric.

As bariatric residents enter our senior living facilities, here are some of the difficulties that we may experience and need to be prepared for: STAFFING ISSUES: Additional education for staff and additional care provided to bariatric residents.

EQUIPMENT ISSUES: Specialized equipment (from beds to lifts and commodes) are required.

For foodservice staff, how do we care for bariatric residents’ dining preferences?

Here are some suggestions that focus on providing resident-centered care: • Educate on healthy eating practices and place the control back into their own hands.

• Focus on fruits, vegetables and healthy whole grains as meal and snack choices.

Encourage patients to choose these items when they are feeling hungry.

• Focus on the dietary guidelines for healthy eating and encourage the following healthy daily eating guide: 5-8 ounces of grains (at least 3 should be whole grain)

POTENTIAL LOSS OF REVENUE: Medicaid does not cover equipment needed for bariatric patients.

INCREASED RESIDENT HEALTH PROBLEMS: Those who are obese have a plethora of co-morbidities and health concerns, including heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol and blood pressure, gallbladder disease and type II diabetes.

At least 2-3 cups of vegetables, focusing on a variety of colors At least 1 ½ -2 cups of fruits

At least 3 cups of milk or milk products (cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, etc.)

At least 5-7 ounces of meat or meat alternative, focusing on lean cuts of meat, fish, skinless poultry, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds

Following these general guidelines along with education and encouragement can keep your residents both happy and healthy.
