This interview with our Nutritionist shows practical ways to enjoy local favourites—kolo mee, chicken rice, nasi lemak, and kuih—while lowering the risks of hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Core moves: cut sugary drinks or go low-/no-sugar, add more vegetables, choose lean proteins, watch portions of noodles and rice, and keep fried or highly processed snacks occasional. Small changes compound.

Healthy eating isn’t restriction. It’s balance and better choices that fit daily life and budget. Start simple—one less sweet drink, one extra serving of vegetables, and steady swaps at the coffeeshop or at home. Smart adjustments help the body return to its best rhythm.

诗华日报 养生之味 【吃得好才能老有所养】

As we move into an ageing society, we often focus on chronic diseases, medication, and exercise. Yet one basic issue is frequently overlooked, whether older adults have suitable food in their daily lives. Food security is not just about having food, but about eating regularly, eating well, and choosing food that suits their physical condition.

Many nutrition issues among seniors are not caused by food shortage. More often, they stem from changes in routine, emotional wellbeing, reduced appetite, chewing or digestion difficulties, and lower motivation or ability to prepare meals. When eating becomes “just to get by”, nutritional quality declines, affecting strength, immunity, and independence.

Emotional and social factors also influence appetite. Seniors who eat alone tend to skip meals or rely on very simple foods. In contrast, shared meals, even a simple tea time, can improve appetite and mood, as social connection encourages more regular eating.

Financial insecurity quietly shapes food choices too. Some seniors limit eating out, avoid nutritious foods, or choose cheaper options because they worry about cost or burdening family.

Supplements can't replace proper meals. For most seniors, regular meals with enough energy are the foundation of health. Eating well doesn't need to be complicated, just practical, easy-to-prepare choices support consistent nutrition, helping seniors age with strength, dignity, and better quality of life, with support from families and communities.
