Rediscovering the Joy of Eating for Our Elders through Nutrition and Herbal Wisdom
As our parents age, our care for them often manifests as a long list of dietary restrictions: "Don't eat this, it’s too salty," or "Stay away from that, it’s too sweet." In our quest to keep them healthy, we inadvertently strip away one of life’s greatest simple pleasures—the joy of food. But does aging really have to mean the end of delicious meals?
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Cite Book Garden (城邦阅读花园) invites you to a transformative afternoon with renowned nutritionist Liew Huai You for the launch of his new book, "Actually, Parents Can Eat with Peace of Mind" (原来，爸妈也可以安心吃). This session aims to bridge the gap between rigorous nutrition and the heartfelt desire to see our parents enjoy their golden years.
In this exclusive sharing session, Liew Huai You will challenge the conventional "restrictive" mindset of elderly care. Drawing from his unique expertise in combining modern nutrition with traditional medicinal diets (Yao Shan), he will guide attendees on how to understand the changing palates and nutritional needs of the older generation.
The core message of the book is simple yet profound: it’s not about what parents cannot eat, but about learning how to eat rightly and happily. By understanding the balance of nutrients and the wisdom of herbal medicine, we can empower our parents to dine with confidence and delight.
With 16 years of experience as a Ministry of Health registered nutritionist, Liew Huai You is a trusted voice in medical nutrition and public education. A graduate of UCSI University, he has hosted over 100 seminars and is a frequent contributor to major media outlets like Sin Chew Daily. Known for his creative approach—including using magic shows to teach nutrition—Liew brings a wealth of practical knowledge that is both accessible and professional. Joining him as the session moderator is Dr. Tan Boon Tin, a PhD in Traditional Chinese Medicine, ensuring a well-rounded discussion that blends Eastern and Western health philosophies.
Whether you are a caregiver, a family member looking to improve home-cooked meals, or simply interested in healthy aging, this event offers invaluable insights.
