The new food generation of the elderly! Jiaxian County actively promotes nutritional skimming in combination with action medical care.

Chiayi County has the highest percentage of aging population in Taiwan. In order to provide accessible nutrition promotion services, the Chiayi County Community Nutrition extension Center, combined with 3x1 Action Medical Care, actively promotes nutrition skimming for the elderly and teaches elders how to eat well and maintain their health through balanced nutrition.

In conjunction with the 31st Action Medical Daily Tour 1 to provide services in villages and townships, through mobile health education vehicles, health care professionals will promote multiple health education issues and strengthen people's health literacy, in response to the problems that may be caused by the elderly, such as nutritional imbalance and muscle deficiency, dietitians design "food softening and balanced intake" skills to go deep into the village to let elders learn balanced nutrition and healthy eating, as well as nutrition promotion services.

The dietitian of the Chiayi County Community Nutrition Promotion Center stressed that the health of the elderly is often affected by poor teeth, loss of appetite, and little change in food choices, resulting in an unbalanced diet. Therefore, the fold of "eating in the New Age is so simple" is designed to teach villagers to adjust the texture of food and skip in cooking.

The dietitian explained that for example, meat can be softened by pineapple, cauliflower and broccoli can be put in the freezer to soften the stem fiber for 1 to 2 days, so as to prevent the elderly from rejecting meat or harder ingredients because of oral and dental problems. Combined with my plate 6 tips, the principle of balanced diet for each meal can not only increase dietary richness, but also make meals nutritionally balanced and easy to eat.

Zhao Wenhua, acting director of the Health Bureau, said that my six tips on the dinner plate are "one cup of milk every morning and evening, big fists of fruit, a little more vegetables than fruit, as much rice as vegetables, one palm of bean fish, one palm of eggs, and one teaspoon of nut seeds." people can do health exercises with "taking care of health in Cuo" every morning and evening, which is more helpful to prevent and delay the disability of the elderly!
