1945 THE NEWBERItT 8WW PAGE FIVE HOME Demonstration By Ethel L. Counts An appeal is being made for can ned food for overseas Relief that have been canned in a supervised Community Canning Center. If you have cans to spare it will be a great help in feeding the starving multi tudes in war devastated countries. The program requires that the foods be packed in standard cartons hold ing 24 cans each. I would be glad to use my office as a gathering place for any who have commercially packed foods to donate. Elderly people, increasingly num erous in this country, have special nutritional problems and these are often greater if an individual has not been adequately nourished in earlier life. To aid those who ask, “What’s the right food for old folks?” the bu reau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics, U. S. Department of Ag riculture, has summed up a few principal suggestions. From the diet standpoint, elderly people can be divided into 2 groups: 1. Those hale a nd hearty but some what less active formerly. 2. Those physically aged; that is, those whose bodies have become worn, infirm, dis. abled, or sick. Men and women in either group are likely to need somewhat fewer calories than in their more active years. It is the rare individual who continues to use that same energy after middle age. More calories than are needed lead to storing up fat; and the disadvantages of over weight increase with a ge. The best way to reduce calories is to go light on fats, sweets, and starches, remem bering that some fat is needed in the diet, and that sweets is moderatioii help to make food palatable. Needs for vitamins and minerals continue about the same in old age, so meals should include fruits, vege tables, milk, and other different kinds of foods required at every age. Persons showing physical aging, generally need to have food prepared so that it is easier to chew and di gest. Some suggestions for such persons, when not on diets prescrib ed by physicians, are:. Include in the diet a great deal of milk, both to drink and cooked in soups and puddings. Chop or sieve foods hard to chew. In some cases It is best to avoid such foods. Grains of com. are hard to chew, so com is best served in a pudding made from scraped corn with no skin. Tomato juice is better than tomatoes unless seeds and skins are strained out. Squash seeds should be removed. Fruit juices are suitable, includ ing orange and grapefruit. Stewed or baked fruits are usually tolerated better than raw. Suitable protein foods include ground meats, flaked fish, eggs, cot tage cheese, Cheddar cheese dishes in which the cheese is finely divided. All kinds of bread and cereals are suitable unless they cause discomfort through faulty chewing. Coffee, tea, malted milk, and cocoa are allowable and usually welcome. Good desserts are custards, rice puddings, junket, geletin, ice cream as well as candies sometimes, unless they cause obvious trouble. High seasoning and condi ments are irritating, and greasy gra vies and sauce put a burden on a weak digestive system. Soups are generally liked and should be made as nourishing as possible. A g .od rule for comfort in de clining years is to eat oftener and less at a time—but regular meals, not nibbling. A cup of tea or broth in the afternoon and hot milk at bedtime, in addition to three meals, helps an elderly person to keep up energy thru the day and to sleep better at night. Many elderly peo ple prefer their principle meal at noon or early evening. Loans! ON REAL ESTATE AUTOMOBILES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY NEWBERRY INSURANCE AND REALTY CO.
