HI All,
Mum who has Alzheimer's has had some blood tests after we took her to the docs for increased confusion and its show she has low Vitamin B12 and Folate.
Since dad has started cooking for them both the diet has gone downhill, no veg just meat and potato and ready meals. I have tried to offer to order them nice better qulaity meals, batch cook for them, set up meals on wheels once a week to improve thier diet but dad won;t have any of it! Its literally making mum more ill and I don't know how to persuade him.
Also the trouble is now Mum says she doesn't like vegetables and has developed an enormous sweet tooth so I imagine its a lot easier for Dad to feed her very basic food to save an argument.
Any tips on improving diet?
