Nutrition Crisis Among Elders: VridhCare’s Food Support Initiatives Explained

Across India, lakhs of senior citizens quietly battle a daily struggle that often goes unnoticed—the fight against hunger and malnutrition.
Ageing weakens the body, reducing appetite, immunity, and strength. Without regular nutritious food, elders become vulnerable to severe health issues like:

• Weak bones & muscle loss

• Poor vision

• Low immunity

• Chronic fatigue

• Depression

• Slow recovery from illness

For abandoned, low-income, or rural elders, this nutrition crisis becomes a silent threat to survival.
