Kim Anh, 38, who lives and works in TP HCM, always anticipates Tet. It is a long holiday when she returns to her parents' home after a busy year. While helping her parents clean the house for Tet in their hometown, Kim Anh noticed they struggled more with heavy lifting. Her parents also needed more rest after each cleaning session. "Household chores that my parents used to finish quickly during my school days now take longer and must be done in small steps," Kim Anh shared.

Nhat Minh, 30, from Nghe An, recalled last Tet. After numerous family gatherings, his parents were visibly fatigued. Tet dishes no longer appealed to them as before. A few days of colder weather also caused his parents to have a mild cough for a week.

These signs often stem from natural aging processes in the elderly, largely affecting muscle health and the immune system. Scientific studies indicate that immune function weakens with age, increasing the risk of infection for older individuals. Between 40 and 80 years old, individuals can lose up to 40% of their muscle mass, increasing the risk of falls by nearly 10 times, which can lead to bone fractures.

Experts recommend that the elderly maintain a balanced diet with adequate carbohydrates, reduced fats, high-quality protein, and plenty of green vegetables and fruits. Additionally, older adults should choose nutritional supplements containing HMB to enhance muscle health. Supplementing with YBG can increase the number of immune cells, thereby boosting immunity and reducing the risk of upper respiratory inflammation.

Many children acknowledge that providing complete and balanced nutrition is a simple yet effective solution to help parents maintain their health. Kim Anh believes that caring for parents' health involves more than just reminding them to "eat regularly"; it requires a scientific nutritional solution that suits their gradually declining physical condition.

Nhat Minh shares this sentiment, having witnessed his parents frequently suffer minor illnesses during seasonal changes and around Tet. This prompted him to pay more attention to oral nutritional supplements for the elderly.

To support children in caring for their parents' health and ensure a complete family reunion during the new year, Abbott's Ensure Gold offers complete and balanced nutrition for older adults. The product's formula contains HMB to enhance muscle health, YBG to boost immunity, and 39 essential nutrients to improve overall health.

Kim Anh, Nhat Minh, and many other adult children recognize the importance of encouraging their parents to maintain appropriate nutrition and exercise. "When my parents are healthy and lead active, positive lives, I also feel more uplifted to start a prosperous new year," Nhat Minh shared. Kim Anh has already packed Ensure Gold in her luggage for Tet this year, considering it the most practical gift to wish her parents good health.
