According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, swallowing problems affect an estimated one in 25 adults in the U.S. every year. For many, managing this condition involves a dysphagia 3 diet, a specific eating plan designed to help individuals with mild to moderate chewing and swallowing difficulties transition back toward a regular diet safely.

According to the National Institutes of Health, dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, can affect people of all ages. A Level 3 mechanically altered diet, sometimes called dysphagia advanced, is a common intervention for individuals with moderate swallowing difficulties, offering a bridge between softer textures and a regular diet.
