Global Kitchen's Nutrition Training for Employees

On October 27, 2025, Global Kitchen Inc., a company based in Minato, Tokyo, held its second nutrition training session for all employees. The session featured Professor Keiko Kamachi from Joshi Eiyo University Nutrition Clinic as the guest speaker. This training aimed to enhance employees' scientific understanding of nutrition, particularly concerning the elderly's common issues of malnutrition and frailty.

Japan is facing an unprecedented aging population, emphasizing the importance of health support through diet. Malnutrition and frailty are critical issues that directly affect the quality of life (QOL) for seniors and their preventive care. With the commitment to sharing nutritional knowledge, Global Kitchen aims to foster more effective product development and enhance service delivery.

Overview of the Lecture

Professor Kamachi conducted the session under the title "Malnutrition and Frailty in the Elderly: Preventative Measures to Consider." The lecture offered a comprehensive and accessible explanation of frailty's definition, its progression mechanisms, the physical and cognitive impacts of malnutrition, and essential points on dietary and nutritional management for prevention.

Practical case studies relevant to real-world applications were presented, along with insights beneficial for product development and sales. Participants expressed their feedback, highlighting their intentions to utilize insights on frailty prevention to influence future product development:

• - "I want to leverage the frailty prevention perspective in our upcoming product development."
• - "I feel more convinced in our sales proposals due to this training."

Moreover, many employees acknowledged a renewed sense of purpose regarding their contributions to elderly dietary support. Some stated, "I have deepened my understanding of food support for the elderly, which aligns with my professional goals." This training has effectively enhanced employees' awareness of integrating nutritional knowledge into their respective tasks, aiming to improve service quality.

Furthermore, they are focused on developing new products under their main brand, "Mago no Te Kitchen," improving existing services, and expanding nutritional education to meet diverse customer needs, aiming for greater value in their food support initiatives.
