"Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey…" Wait. What are curds and whey? If you answered cottage cheese, you're right. The curd is the lumps and the whey is the liquid. While it may not sound very appetizing, cottage cheese has some health benefits to consider. Cottage cheese starts out with pasteurized nonfat milk. Cultures and enzymes are added, which starts the fermentation process. This acidification makes some of the proteins in milk clump together (curds separate from the whey). Once the curds are formed, they are cut into small, medium or large pieces, cooked and blended with a salty cream dressing. Besides the size of the curd, cottage cheese is sold in varying fat levels. Creamed cottage cheese is made by containing nonfat cottage cheese with a light cream dressing. It contains at least four percent milkfat. Lowfat cottage cheese is also made with a cream dressing but contains no more than two percent milkfat. Nonfat cottage cheese does not contain any cream dressing and contains no more than 0.5 grams milkfat per serving. It's important to understand that even full-fat cottage cheese is only 4% fat; most cheeses hover around 30%.

Cottage cheese has a team of nutrients for good bone health, including protein, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. The caveat is that cottage cheese is high in sodium. Compare labels, as sodium content will differ by brand, and try to avoid other high sodium foods that day. While many people eat cottage cheese right out of the container, consider other uses, such as in scrambled eggs, pasta dishes, potato dishes, fruit parfaits, or smoothies. So go sit on your tuffet, and eat curds and whey. Wait. What's a tuffet?

Why do elderly stop eating?

A reduction in appetite is one sign that someone may be in the last days of their life. They may no longer wish to eat or drink anything. This could be because they find the effort of eating or drinking to be too much. But it may also be because they have little or no need or desire for food or drink.

Should I be worried?

If a person stops eating or drinking because of their reduced appetite, this may be hard to accept, but it is a normal part of the dying process. If they stop drinking, their mouth may look dry, but this does not always mean they are dehydrated. It is normal for all dying people eventually to stop eating and drinking.

Is there anything I can do to help?

If the person is conscious and they want something to eat or drink, you can offer sips, provided they can still swallow. You can give some comfort to a person with a dry mouth by:

offering a drink through a straw (or from a teaspoon or syringe)

moistening the mouth with a damp sponge – special kinds of sponge are available for this purpose (the person may bite on this at first, but keep holding it, as they will let go)

placing ice chips in the mouth

applying lip balm

Your doctor may prescribe an oral gel that is used to help moisten the person’s lips and mouth.
