To eat safely and deliciously forever! Distributing leaflets
Updated: May 19, 2020
Are you giving up your worries such as thirst, muse, and difficulty eating hard foods, blaming it on your age?
If the ability to chew and swallow decreases, it will take longer to eat and the amount of food you eat will decrease, which will lead to nutritional deficiencies and a decrease in physical strength.
In addition, if the ability to swallow and cough is weakened, food and saliva that should go to the esophagus may easily enter the trachea, remain in the throat, and may cause food to get stuck in the throat.
If you keep your mouth clean, take measures to make it easier to eat, and do proper preparatory exercises before meals, you will be able to improve mouse and difficulty in swallowing, and enjoy safe and delicious meals forever.
Don't give up saying, "I can't help it because of my age," and start with what you can do.
