Dementia Eating & Drinking

The eating and drinking patterns of individuals with dementia often experience changes, with potential reductions in hunger and thirst, and difficulties in grasping the importance of consuming food and beverages. Functional tableware prioritizes a fundamental principle: the visual aspect of eating. Utilizing clear shapes and distinct color contrasts, these tableware items are crafted to improve the perception of food and drinks, assisting individuals in better comprehending and savoring their meals. Research indicates a notable improvement in both food and fluid consumption when using high-contrast, simple, primary-colored tableware compared to low-contrast or white alternatives.
