WHY GO PLANT-BASED? See more reasons here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gDRPRPQp Reason #1 Diets containing animal products can be harmful to your health. According to a study published in 2016 by JAMA International Medicine, "High animal protein intake was positively associated with cardiovascular mortality and high-plant protein intake was inversely associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, especially among individuals with at least one lifestyle risk factor." #PlantBasedNutritionForLife #AnOunceOfNutrition #Vegan

As the number 1 “immediate priority” listed in the Royal Commission into the Quality of Aged Care’s Final Report 3.5 years ago, I am surprised we only see a brief paragraph around aged care food and nutrition in the Inspector General’s 166 page report release this week (link to full report in comments below). Why has it taken such a back seat? In the background, and completely off the back of providers who “get it” and are striving for excellence, we have been showing the impact of delivering on this “immediate priority”. Pre-dating, during and following the RC, The Lantern Alliance - The Lantern Project has been sharing demonstrated evidence of the systemic impact food and nutrition has on resident quality of life, clinical measures such as falls, PI’s, unplanned wt loss and hospital readmissions and on the bottom line to decision-makers. We know that food is the barometer the community use to judge the quality of care in an aged care home. Supporting evidence-based, demonstrated measures in this space are needed - we remain here poised and waiting to assist speeding progress in this space along.
