Question

For an elderly person with dentures, which type of diet would ensure adequate nutrition?

विकल्प

• Clear liquid diet

• Regular diet

• Soft diet

• Low-protein diet

Answer 1

Soft diet

Explanation:

An elderly person with dentures may have difficulty chewing hard or tough foods. A soft diet is easier to chew and swallow, so the person can eat a wider variety of foods (like soft-cooked cereals, dal, curd, mashed vegetables, eggs, soft fruits), helping ensure adequate nutrition. Clear liquid diet is too limited, and a low-protein diet is not generally needed unless advised medically.
