- Tableware that offers a high contrast to food and drink
- Helps Alzheimer's patients increase food and drink intake
Redware™ Tableware People with Alzheimer's are not able to distinguish light colored food and drink on or in typically light colored tableware. Almost 40% of Alzheimer's patients experience significant weight loss. A study out of Boston University suggests that the weight loss is due in part to the loss of the ability to distinguish contrast between colors. When using tableware that offered a high contrast to the food and drink (i.e.: bright red and bright blue), researchers noticed that the participants in the study increased their food intake by 24% and liquid intake by 84%.
