Hyundai Green Food Showcases 31 Cancer Prevention and Treatment Meal Plans with Ajou University Medical Center

Hyundai Green Food, a subsidiary of Hyundai Department Store Group, has partnered with Ajou University Medical Center to present 31 types of cancer prevention and treatment meal plans. The exhibition, held at the medical center, aims to provide comprehensive dietary support for inpatients, their guardians, and outpatients.

Unlike previous hospital exhibitions focused solely on inpatient treatment meals, this event highlights a full spectrum of dietary options. These range from preventative meals based on national cancer information guidelines to recovery meals designed for post-discharge. The offerings include specialized menus for conditions like diabetes and obesity, as well as low-glycemic and sterilized options for cancer patients experiencing reduced appetite or nausea.

Housewives have to prepare meals for their families even after being discharged, so it's difficult to prepare a separate diet that suits my body. It would be a great help to subscribe to these recovery meals and receive them at home.

"Patients undergoing cancer treatment often experience decreased food intake due to lowered immunity and vomiting," explained Jo Ji-eun, head of Hyundai Green Food's Hospital Operations Team. "We are developing sterilized, selectable menus using popular dishes to expand patient choice while protecting their health."

The exhibition also features Hyundai Green Food's 'Greating' brand of care food for cancer patients, including specialized meals tailored to specific nutritional needs. The company currently offers 313 types of disease-specific customized meals. Lee Hye-kyung, head of Ajou University Medical Center's Nutrition Team, stated, "We wanted to showcase meals for each stage, from prevention to treatment and recovery, as cancer patients increase and societal interest in health management grows."

Demand for care food for health management, beyond just patient meals, is also rising. Hyundai Green Food reported a 24.4% increase in sales for its low-sugar, low-calorie, and high-protein healthy meals from January to May this year compared to the previous year. Sales of disease-specific customized meals also grew by 11% during the same period.
