Food is the most important thing for the people, and people in Taiwan Province Province attach great importance to "eating". However, the elderly have difficulty swallowing because of organ degeneration or illness, so eating often becomes a painful thing for the elderly. However, if the nutrition intake of the elderly is insufficient, it will usually be accompanied by a variety of physical diseases. In order to provide a healthy and correct concept of diet for the elderly, Director Cai Xiuwen of the Nutrition Department of Nantou Hospital led a professional dietitian into Zhao Long Station of Grade C Lane in Mingjian Township to arrange activities such as swallowing and eating for the elderly.
Follow six formulas every day to get enough nutrition.
First of all, lead the elderly to know "my plate". Director Cai Xiuwen said that my dinner plate has six formulas, which is convenient for people to remember. When I eat according to the formula of "a cup of milk every morning and evening, the fruit is a little bigger than my fist, the vegetables are a little more than the fruit, the rice is as much as the vegetables, a palm of beans, fish, eggs and meat, and a teaspoon of nut seeds", I can simply and clearly understand the various nutrients I need and the amount I should take.
Do oral yoga exercises regularly to strengthen swallowing function.
Then teaching healthy oral yoga exercises and doing healthy oral exercises every day can not only strengthen the strength of masticatory muscles and enhance swallowing function, but also prevent and delay the occurrence of swallowing disorders. From deep breathing, neck movement, shoulder movement, hand movement, cheek movement, tongue movement to pronunciation practice, a series of movements cooperate with salivary glands to maintain oral function stability.
Prevention is better than cure. Have fun.
Director Cai Xiuwen said that early identification of swallowing symptoms and more oral exercise can delay the occurrence of swallowing disorders, reduce the problem of choking cough in the elderly, and also let the elderly enjoy food with peace of mind.
In addition, Nanzhao Station in Lane C of Nantou Hospital originally planned * * * meal service, but due to the epidemic situation, it was temporarily changed to take-away lunch boxes to implement epidemic prevention measures. However, the dishes in the lunch box are provided according to the proportion of "my plate" of the national health department, and soft beans and white meat that are convenient for the elderly to chew are provided intimately, so that the elderly can eat safely and healthily.
