2.1describe how mealtime cultures and environments can be a barrier to meeting the nutritional needs of an individual with dementia

There are a couple of ways on how mealtime cultures and environment can be a barrier to meeting the nutritional needs of an individual with dementia.

People with dementia tend to have a difficulty to follow a specified timeline activity, therefore it would be hard for them to follow mealtime culture such as eating 3 times a day on their own

Normal eating environment such as restaurant could also be a problem for people with dementia since they will hear a lot of noises in their mind that would stress them out

hope this helps

Because without physical activity, the body has extra "energy" if you will, and so when it is time for bed you are not tired, so you end up staying up all night. also there is probably an effect on your internal clock, which messes with your melatonin production which goes hand in hand with your sleep cycle
