Your mom who ate healthy for 40 years suddenly only wants ice cream and cookies.
It's not just a sweet tooth.
Dementia can change how the brain processes taste, smell, and texture.
For many people, sweet flavors become easier to recognize than other tastes.
That's why dessert suddenly becomes the favorite meal.
Instead of fighting every craving, try working with it.
π Add protein when possible
π Focus on nourishment over perfection
π Offer familiar foods
Remember:
A meal they eat is better than a perfect meal they refuse.
