A food demonstration was specially arranged to allow participants to see, smell, and taste healthy meals on site. Nutritionist Li first demonstrated how to prepare oil-free, low-sodium, and easy-to-make healthy Korean-style rice balls, enabling seniors to replicate the recipes at home.
Participants learned that healthy food can also be delicious. Many commented, “It’s tasty, smooth, and makes me want to cook it at home!” Recipe cards were also provided to encourage home practice. -
