Caring Through Food: Supporting Elderly Nutrition During the Festive Season
South African festive food is more than what’s on the plate—it’s memory, culture, and care. Dishes like pap, slow-cooked stews, morogo, samp and beans bring families together and offer comfort, especially to our elders. During the festive season, the goal is not to remove these traditional foods, but to prepare and serve them in ways that support ageing bodies.
Small, thoughtful adjustments—such as softer cooking methods, generous vegetables, gentler spices, and mindful portions—can help older adults enjoy familiar festive meals without digestive discomfort or blood sugar spikes. When we cook with intention, food becomes an act of respect, nourishment, and love.
