Food education for senior generations　

In Sakae Ward, three perspectives are said to be important for a healthy and long life: Initiatives for "nutrition", "exercise" and "social participation"
I'm working on it.
In order to live a self-reliant life forever, eat well no matter how old you are and create a healthy body.

With aging, the nutritional status of the body decreases.
When nutrition is reduced, it is easy to get tired, slow to walk, and weak to grab, leading to a decrease in muscle mass and muscle strength.
This leads to a decrease in the amount of activity.
In addition, it leads to a vicious cycle such as reduced diet and loss of appetite.

The amount of energy required to live well does not decrease much even when you become seniors.
It takes a lot of energy to transform the protein from a meal into a body tissue.
Be careful with your diet to prevent muscle weakness due to aging.

It is important to take various kinds of food every meal and be careful not to lose muscle.
In order to live well, besides staple food, meat, eggs, oils and fats, milk and dairy products, seafood, soybeans and soy products, green and yellow vegetables, etc.
Be sure to eat side dishes from 10 food groups of fruits, seaweeds, and potatoes.
10 It has been found that the more people eat the food group, the less the grip strength and walking speed.
Let's be conscious every day and aim to eat more than 7 food groups!

"10 Food Group / Meal Style Diary (Diary)" is a sheet to confirm whether you are eating a variety of foods with "Katayori" in your own meal style.
[How to use]　Record your "ordinary meal" as it is.
After a week, make a judgment with 12 items at the bottom of the diary.
Did the total number of items per day be "4" or more every day?
The Western food group, milk group, Japanese food group, and vegetable food group have a daily total of "7" or more!
The second sheet of the diary contains tips on how to take a group with few judgments, so please refer to it.
