Wellbeing through nutrition – Strength from food theme week 3–9 February 2025 invites older people to enjoy a varied diet
At the beginning of February, we celebrate Power from Food Week, which focuses on the quality of older peopleu0026#x27;s diets and adequate protein intake. The theme week is part of Gery ryu0026#x27;s Voimaa ruuasta (Power from Food) initiative, which aims to promote good nutrition, functional capacity and well-being among older people in many ways. The topic is on the agenda in Tuusula in relation to meals for older people.
In Tuusula, five schools offer affordable, nutritious meals for senior citizens. The communal lunches held in Hyökkälä, Kellokoski, Jokela, Riihikallio and Monio help to reduce food waste in schools and provide an opportunity for socialising and exchanging news
during mealtimes. During Gery ry’s(switch to another service) Power from Food theme week, the importance of a varied diet is highlighted at meal venues for senior citizens in Tuusula. Discussions on its significance can also be held in the living room activities for senior citizens.
