This Sunday is Mother's Day. During family dinners, the elders may have to look at the food and sigh because of bad teeth. The National Health Administration has specially joined hands with restaurants and restaurant operators to launch innovative dishes that the elders can eat, and invited the Golden Horse actress Chen Shufang as an endorser. Eating out is happier.
"I'm not old!" said 81-year-old Chen Shufang. Nowadays, young people often work hard for three meals and cannot take care of the elders at home. Like her, she lives alone. Therefore, she appeals to friends of her age to take care of her. Be good to yourself, don't be a burden to the younger generation and make them worry about the life of the elders.
Mother's Day is coming, and many children will want to invite their mothers to dinner. Chen Shufang said that this makes her very happy. "How much I hope that every day is Mother's Day, and the children will invite her to dinner!" But in fact, there is no need to invite them to dinner. If you talk on the phone every day, you will be very happy.
Chen Shufang said that when many people saw her, they would say blessings such as sipping one hundred and two, longevity, etc., but her life is only "three days" yesterday, today and tomorrow. "I was very happy yesterday, and I am even happier today, because I eat healthy and nutritious; as for tomorrow, I don't know, because I don't know if I can open my eyes."
She said that impermanence will come at any time, and seeing tomorrow means she has a new "three days". She also often uses these words to encourage people who are destined to take good care of themselves, and cherish good fortune. Even if you can't finish the lunch, don't waste it. You can take it home to cook porridge or addEat hot.
According to a survey by the National Health Administration, 70% of the elderly over 65 years old have partially missing teeth, 21% of the elderly feel that their teeth function is not good, and 63% of the elderly have problems with their teeth, chewing or swallowing. And limit the kinds of food you eat.
Wu Zhaojun, director of the National Health Commission, said that elderly people have unbalanced diets and insufficient nutrient intake due to dental problems, deterioration of chewing function, dietary habits and multiple medication. There are cases of muscle weakness and weakness, so how to take into account nutritional safety and let the elders "eat" is the direction of the government's efforts.
He mentioned that in the past, he went to see the situation of "delivering meals for the elderly". An elder looked at the bento, but never ate it. After asking, he realized that the food was too hard to bite. He felt the government's good intentions. There is a big discount. Therefore, the National Health Administration has specially referred to international practices, based on my country's eating habits and local ingredients, and launched the nutrition and texture adjustment diet for the elderly in 2019. Through the selection of ingredients and changes in cutting and cooking techniques, you can make your own suitable The "softness and hardness" diet for the elderly. This year, it has teamed up with 3 restaurants including Taipei Howard, and 15 restaurant operators to launch "senior-friendly" meals that are both soft and firm, nutritionally balanced, and suitable for the elderly.
Chen Shufang was very happy to see "Emerald Fish Gizzard", "Emerald Hibiscus Mushroom Roll" and other foods specially prepared for the elderly and easy to eat, which made her very happy, and she also playedThe idea that people can only eat soft and rotten porridge when they are old is broken. Emerald fish gizzard is made of domestic gentian grouper, which is shaped after removing the fishbone to retain the shape of the fish, so that the elderly can eat well and eat with dignity.
Jia Shuli, deputy director of the National Health Service, said that in the future, it will actively cooperate with cross-units to provide guidance to common meal bases, snack bars, restaurants, restaurant operators, etc., so that the elderly or caregivers have more choices, and will also introduce elderly-friendly Restaurant certification.
