| [ Summary ] | In recent years, the number of people eating "takeout meals" has increased. According to the reports, "The Health Japan 21 (Ministry of Health & Welfare)" and "The Guide to Eating Habit" written recently by the joint meeting of three related ministries of Japan, this tendency was approved of but they proposed healthier eating habits. Many patients being on diet therapy want to have more "takeout meals" because of their convenience in relationship to changes in their life styles. They are getting food at convenience stores, super markets, and stores with deliverly service, besides special food approved by doctors. In these situations, dietitians should know the nutritional elements of food sold at these stores, and guide patients in eating in these food properly in relation to their diet therapy. |
