Our very own Dietitian, Liyuan, recently had the pleasure of engaging with a fantastic group of over 45 active seniors at St Luke's ElderCare Active Ageing Hub @ Anchorvale! The topic? Gut health, a crucial factor in our overall well-being, especially as we age.
Liyuan addressed a broader perspective on gut health. Participants learned that it's not just about the intestines, but encompasses the entire digestive system, from mouth to gut.
The audience was incredibly interactive, asking insightful questions about:
💚 Diet and Gut Health: They learned how the food choices we make can nourish the good bacteria in our gut, promoting a healthy digestive system.
💚 Probiotics and Prebiotics: Liyuan explained the benefits of these gut-friendly supplements and their role in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome.
💚 Maintaining a Healthy Gut as We Age: Discussed common gut issues faced by seniors, such as indigestion, constipation, and bloating, offering valuable tips for managing them.
Yakult was also distributed to the seniors, who thoroughly enjoyed it!
The overall atmosphere was positive and informative. It was truly inspiring to see so many active seniors taking charge of their health and showing such keen interest in gut health!
🍽️ Looking Ahead: Addressing Dysphagia
Staying on the topic of gut health, we'd like to inform you about an upcoming talk on dysphagia, a common challenge for some seniors. Dysphagia refers to difficulty swallowing, which can be a gut-related issue. This future session will provide insights and strategies for managing dysphagia. Stay tuned for details!
