Abstract

As we get older, we tend to eat less and find it more difficult to cook. Especially if you live alone. Undernutrition among the elderly has become a hidden health problem. The content of your meals is directly related to your health. I want to consciously eat nutritious meals. However, the cooking method is super simple and OK. Make great use of canned foods, paste products, cut vegetables, and frozen vegetables. There is no need to have a large number of items. With the simple formula of "Protein + Vegetables + Staple Food", instant ramen can quickly turn into a balanced nutritional meal. A ``really usable'' senior health food bible rooted in the field, written by an author who visits elderly people's homes and provides nutritional management guidance. From easy recipes using canned foods to example menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Packed with eye-opening nutritional information.
