This is very important in healthcare settings. Take senior living facilities for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we age, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/surprising-findings-about-metabolism-and-age-202110082613\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) slows down<\/a>. With this metabolic change come challenges. Our bodies burn fewer calories at rest, so we don&#8217;t need as much food to maintain a healthy weight. When seniors consume excess calories, the extra weight puts a strain on joints and increase the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. So, <strong>appropriate calorie intake is a must<\/strong> for healthy senior living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Age-related changes can also affect <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/22446-leptin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leptin sensitivity<\/a>. Leptin is a hormone that controls satiety and appetite regulation. It is what allows us to know when we are full. Practicing portion control with seniors can <strong>help train the body to recognize satiety cues and avoid overeating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portion control doesn&#8217;t mean deprivation. It&#8217;s about finding the right balance to meet your senior loved one&#8217;s individual needs and ensure they get the nutrients they need to stay healthy and strong. For patients in the hospital, this is crucial for managing weight, controlling blood sugar levels, and promoting overall recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Portion Control Serving Utensils and Prep Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/vollrath%C2%AE-47389-teal-standard-length-6-oz-squeeze-disher-6027536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/scxlg9kfcazrypnfmyyg.jpg\" alt=\"Squeeze disher in teal. \" class=\"wp-image-24423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/scxlg9kfcazrypnfmyyg.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/scxlg9kfcazrypnfmyyg-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Improve serving speeds and ensure consistent portions with Vollrath&#8217;s 6 oz. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/vollrath%C2%AE-47389-teal-standard-length-6-oz-squeeze-disher-6027536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Color Coded Squeeze Disher in Teal.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Active portion control takes the guesswork out of prepping and serving.
