Eat Healthily Even If You Have No Appetite
Sometimes, when you're feeling ill, you just don't have
an appetite. At other times, certain medicines or treatments
you take can cause your appetite to decline. It's still
vitally important to maintain good nutrition even when you
don't have an appetite.
The following tips can help you plan more appealing meals
and snacks:
- Don't rely on your appetite. Plan your meals and snacks
on a schedule.
- Eat and drink slowly.
- Limit fluid intake during meals, because liquids create
a feeling of fullness.
- Vary the colour and texture of food at mealtime to make
it more appealing.
- Create a pleasant atmosphere at mealtime.
- Cold foods, such as salads or sandwiches, are usually
more appetizing than hot foods.
