Dietary deficiencies among the ageing population is a growing concern. The lack of sufficient nutrition in everyday food is causing major implications for the health and well-being of all Australians.

Often overlooked, fibre is essential in maintaining healthy ageing in older Australians. Fibre allows for a functional digestive system while also contributing to other major body processes such as the stabilisation of glucose and cholesterol levels.

However, the unfortunate reality is that many of these older Australians are often not getting enough fibre in their diet. This is irrespective of whether they live at home, are a resident of an aged-care facility, or a patient in a hospital environment.

鈥淚ndividuals need 25鈥�30g of fibre in their diet a day, and it鈥檚 concerning to see just how many people are not getting their recommended daily dose of fibre,鈥� said Denise Burbidge, Accredited Practising Dietitian & Nutritionist, The Food Clinic.

鈥淚 see so many people who are struggling to eat their core foods 鈥� like fruits, vegetables and wholegrains. If people aren鈥檛 eating the right fibre rich foods, their body will experience a range of health complications.鈥�

Recognising that every meal or snack is an opportunity to maximise nutrition intake 鈥� especially in a hospital setting 鈥� Australian food manufacturer SPC Ardmona created SPC ProVital. It鈥檚 a range of nutritious and expertly formulated fruit-based products designed to address specific health requirements.

SPC ProVital Fibre Right Apple and Prune Puree offers a delicious way for people to get a sufficient amount of nutrients into their diet, and can be consumed as a meal accompaniment or snack. It is specifically formulated to provide a good source of fibre, with at least 5g in each serve.

SPC ProVital is a 鈥楾exture C Puree鈥�, which means it has been developed and rigorously tested to meet the strict guidelines of 鈥楢ustralian Standardised Terminology and Definitions for Modified Texture Foods and Fluids鈥� to deliver a product suitable for people on Texture C diets. SPC ProVital also offers easy-open portion controlled packaging, which means it is also easily accessible for those with mobility issues such as arthritis.

Dijana Dragicevich, Senior Speech Pathologist at the Royal North Shore 黑料吃瓜群网 said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 so important that modifications to textures and flavours are made to products, especially for those with eating, speaking and mobility issues like dysphagia.鈥�

A recent study of 400 patients conducted at Royal North Shore 黑料吃瓜群网 in Sydney revealed 7 out of 10 patients stated that the SPC ProVital Fibre Right fruit range taste and texture was either very good or excellent.
