The next Toc & Doc conference is taking place on 26 September 2024, in Lausanne.
The medico-culinary talk offered by Source Innovation Lab (SILAB) in collaboration with the Clinique de La Source.
With “Toque et Doc”, SILAB combines the medical skills of guest experts with the culinary expertise of Chefs to dissect the major issues in nutrition. This winning combination takes a global approach to the issues, the better to challenge preconceived ideas and urban legends.
Organised twice a year, these informal scientific conferences take an unusual, cross-disciplinary look at key nutrition issues.
Enough is enough! Food insecurity among senior citizens’.
Shopping and preparing meals are essential daily activities that guarantee our physiological well-being, keep us healthy and enable us to maintain social links as we age.
Unfortunately, more and more senior citizens are affected by food insecurity, due to a lack of financial resources and knowledge appropriate to their specific status.
This is a critical age, when malnutrition is the main cause of complications such as falls, worsening of chronic illnesses and decline leading to hospitalisation and institutionalisation.
During the event, participants will look at the specific needs of the elderly and the solutions for meeting them in a suitable way and on a small budget.
