The caregiver can be a family member or paid helper who cares for a child or person who is ill or has DD. Inadequate nutrition can cause fatigue, tiredness and illness in the caregiver and they have to avoid the "burnout" putting themselves in last place to care of. Health and well-being means quality of life and having healthy practices to facilitate adequate nutrition, hydration and physical activity (according to their abilities). Caregivers are models of healthy eating behaviors.
