For elders and friends of the care, family and friends must pay extra attention, whether it is diet or daily life should pay attention to; with the New Year's Eve is approaching, the Taipei City United Hospital dietitian Pui Yu Ku suggested that the food can be made into a puree meal, so that the elders easy to eat *** enjoy the joy.

These are the first time I've ever seen a computer that was designed to be used in a computerized environment!　

The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) defines an "aged society" as one in which people aged 65 or older account for 14% of the total population; according to this definition, Taiwan's rate reached 14.05% in March 2007, officially entering an "aged society".

The care of the elderly has become even more important in light of the overall changes in society. As the elderly face loosening and loss of teeth, as well as dry mouth due to decreased saliva production, and decreased elasticity of the oral muscles and connective tissues, all of which affect the formation of food clusters in the oral cavity, and result in decreased swallowing ability, directly affecting nutrient intake.

Using multiple ingredients to maintain nutrients, first cook and then puree to reduce food safety concerns

Pei Yu Gu reminds us that, for those who have difficulty chewing or swallowing, the selection of ingredients and the adjustment of the texture of the food has become even more important, and suggests that carers can puree the food and design it in such a way as to enhance the willingness of the elderly to eat. The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.

For pureed food, remember that unlike churned juice, ingredients must be cooked beforehand, not only to soften them for easy consumption, but also to sterilize them to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort; in the choice of cooking, it can be done more often in the way of "steaming, boiling, and stewing", which not only preserves the original flavor of the ingredients, but also makes them easier to digest. In addition, you can also use part of the processed semi-finished products, such as: radish cake, taro cake, steamed and then into the puree, for the elders to add flavor to the diet.

Despite the change in cooking style, don't neglect to get enough nutrients, and choose a wide variety of ingredients for your elders to get the nutrients they need.

Specializing in good food and good nutrition for the elderly

The Taipei City United Hospital reminds the public to pay attention to their tastes when designing their New Year's Eve packages, and to use a set of good food and good nutrition for their New Year's Eve packages, so they can enjoy good nutrition and good food during their reunion with their families. The newest addition to the lineup is a set of "Good Eats, Good Food" packages that will allow the silver-haired to enjoy nutritious and tasty meals while reuniting with their families.
