What happens when an aging body is not getting the nutrition it needs?Older adults face unique nutritional challenges that can contribute to muscle loss, weakness, falls, poor wound healing, metabolic problems, and declining quality of life. Yet nutrition is often overlooked when addressing the complex health needs of the geriatric population.In Geriatric Diet Rehab, Registered Nurse Al E. Roberts draws on more than 18 years of clinical experience in geriatric nutrition and wound care to examine how dietary choices can affect the health and resilience of older adults.After treating thousands of geriatric patients and spending years researching malnutrition and nutrition-supported wound healing, Roberts developed a nutrition-focused approach designed around the foundational needs of aging bodies.Inside, readers will explore:The nutritional challenges commonly faced by seniorsThe importance of adequate protein and dietary fatNutrition and its relationship to muscle loss and sarcopeniaThe connection between diet, metabolic health, and insulin resistanceNutritional considerations for wound healingHow inadequate nutrition can affect strength, mobility, and recoveryPractical ways families and caregivers can think differently about senior nutritionGeriatric Diet Rehab challenges readers to look beyond calories and conventional dietary restrictions and consider whether older adults are receiving enough of the nutrients required to maintain muscle, support healing, and preserve independence.Written from the perspective of a clinician who has spent nearly two decades working directly with older patients, this book is intended to start a different conversation about aging, nutrition, and health.Because sometimes improving an older adult's health begins with something remarkably fundamental: what is on the plate.©2026 Al E.
