These two days,
3 strands of cold air arrived one after another,
Temperatures plummeted in Guangzhou.
The cold wind outside whistles,
So I suffered from difficulty getting out of bed:
But, poor people,
You still have to put on your autumn pants and go out to work!
In such weather,
If you can drink a warm bowl of health soup,
It couldn't be happier...
Recently, the social workers of the Elderly Department of the Family Integrated Service Center of Nonglin Street launched the "Weekly Beautiful Soup" medicinal food health group at the Xingguang Elderly Home. The activity was supported by the Zhongshan 2nd Road Community Neighborhood Committee, which attracted the participation of many neighbors.
Xiao E learned that the group is specially aimed at the elderly over 60 years old with chronic diseases in the jurisdiction, and the whole activity is popularizing the reasonable combination of medicinal food and the health knowledge of soup, improving the balanced diet and reasonable nutritional mix of the team members, and implementing self-management of chronic diseases.
The health group is divided into six sections, which are carried out around the themes of "we get together", "medicinal diet regimen for chronic bronchitis", "medicinal diet regimen for hypertension", "medicinal diet regimen for laxative bowel", "medicinal diet regimen in autumn", and "we boil soup together".
Through the combination of learning and practice, the neighbors have a better understanding of chronic diseases and medicinal dietary health. After learning, communicating, and finally, everyone practiced how to cook soup together.
"I usually cook less soup at home, and I don't know how to put medicinal herbs in the soup, but after learning, I know which herbs have what effect, and I can try to drink it at home." One of the neighbors said she had been actively involved in it for days.
Many neighbors said that they not only learned how to make a variety of healthy soups to prevent diseases, but also met a lot of new friends, and if there is a health group in the future, they will continue to participate.
