3 Secrets to Healthy Eating That We Use When Working With People With Disabilities

Today we are giving you 3 Secrets to healthy eating that we use when working with people with disabilities.

These 3 secrets center on the concept of "Presentation".

Meat Casseroles

A number of things influence the presentation of food. These include colour, portion size and layout.

Colour
Colour is an important factor in determining how inviting a meal looks to eat. The use of different colours on a plate is an effective way of making a meal look attractive. For example, a serve of vegetable and meat casserole would look more attractive if it was served with some green beans, a few slices of tomato or a scatter of chopped fresh herbs

Portion size
A plate that is piled up with a lot of food can look less appealing than a plate with a moderate amount of food on it. This is particularly relevant for small or 'fussy' eaters who may be daunted by the sight of a large serve. The reverse is also true, people who like large servings can be given smaller plates.

Layout
The way that food is placed on a plate impacts the appearance of a meal. For Example, a serve of casserole that spills over an entire plate, with a few drips spilt on the edge, is unlikely to look as attractive as a neat pile of casserole placed carefully on a bed of rice.
