To eat deliciously and safely forever! We are distributing leaflets
Updated: May 19, 2020
Have you given up on your problems, such as dry mouth, dry mouth, or difficulty eating solid foods, and blaming it on your age?
When the ability to chew and swallow decreases, it takes longer to eat and the amount of food is reduced, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies and a decline in physical strength.
Additionally, when the ability to swallow and cough is weakened, food and saliva that should normally go to the esophagus may more easily enter the trachea, remain in the throat, or cause food to become stuck in the throat.
By keeping your mouth clean, making it easier to eat, and doing preparatory exercises before meals, you can improve your discomfort and difficulty swallowing, and enjoy safe, delicious meals for as long as you want.
Don't give up and think, ``It's because of your age, it can't be helped.'' Let's start from what we can.
