Adaptive Tableware Sets
In addition to rheumatoid arthritis you or your loved one may be experiencing challenges with other diseases such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Many of these patients experience significant weight loss. Studies have shown that it is due in part to the loss of the ability to distinguish contrast between colors.
People with Dementia and Alzheimer’s are not able to distinguish light colored food and drink on or in typically light colored tableware. The color red shows more contrast between the table, allowing the user to more readily recognize what they are eating. This also helps those people who have decreased motor skills. These red adaptive tableware sets may be just what you need to make eating easier. Plus, you get the added Power Of Red if you need to gain a little weight back.
