  The National Land Administration of the Ministry of the Interior stated that to address the housing needs of renters of all ages, the rent subsidy and social housing rental management policies will continue to be promoted this year, providing housing support and assistance. From July last year to the end of May this year, 540,000 households have been approved for rent subsidies. Additionally, since the launch of the social housing rental management program in 2017, 111,000 households have been matched by the end of May this year, totaling over 650,000 households.

The proportion of young people benefiting from the total approved households is 52%, with a matching rate of over 41%, significantly reducing the housing burden on young people and young families. With policy support, they can boldly pursue their dreams and have more life choices.At the same time, the housing needs of seniors aged 65 and above have also received attention. The government actively addresses rental discrimination against the elderly by increasing rent subsidies and implementing the Social Housing Rental Management 4.0 plan, which includes relaxing regulations such as "seniors can change residences across counties and cities" and "private housing to public housing services," to increase seniors' willingness to change residences and provide rental matching assistance. Currently, 47,000 households of seniors aged 65 and above have been approved for rent subsidies, about 8%; for social housing rental management, 14,000 households have been matched, with a matching rate of nearly 13%. The government has comprehensively considered reducing the rental burden for seniors and providing rental assistance, aiming to ensure that seniors have a secure place to live.In the future, the National Land Administration will continue to promote various housing assistance measures, including direct construction of social housing, rent subsidies, and social housing rental management. These efforts will be in collaboration with local governments and the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center to improve housing policies and meet the housing needs of people of all ages.

The results of the current policies have indeed substantially addressed the housing needs of young people and the elderly. In the future, the direct construction of social housing, rent subsidies, and social housing rental management will continue to be promoted. Collaborations with local governments and the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center will be strengthened to improve various housing policies to meet the housing needs of people of all ages.

  Diabesity: Starting with the Right Food to Lose Weight - 6 Q&As

  Diabetes patients are often very cautious about their diet when controlling their weight, but actually, eating the right food is key. Nutritionist Liu Siyu points out that choosing healthy foods and maintaining a consistent carbohydrate intake is beneficial for controlling blood sugar and weight.

(Image: Provided by Flickr)Q1: Can diabetes patients eat white rice?Yes, but don’t think that avoiding white rice alone can control blood sugar. Liu Siyu points out that some people switch to other carbohydrates like porridge, noodles, or bread, which are easy to digest but not beneficial for blood sugar stability. Therefore, choosing healthy staple foods and paying attention to portion control is key.Q2: Is brown rice better than white rice?Brown rice is indeed nutritious, but its calorie and carbohydrate content are comparable to white rice, so it should not be eaten excessively. The amount of rice consumed per meal should depend on individual weight and activity level. It is recommended that men consume 4-5 servings of carbohydrates per day, while women should consume 2-4 servings.Choosing healthy staple foods and paying attention to portion control is key.

Portion control is important when consuming these foods.Q4: Often feel hungry, is it physiological or psychological hunger?It is necessary to distinguish between real hunger (physiological hunger) and fake hunger (psychological hunger). Choosing high-satiety foods, such as those rich in protein and fiber, helps reduce feelings of hunger.https://news.immigration.gov.tw/Column/Detail/b497633c-1ac9-4790-9785-59dff1673aad?category=1&lang=TWQ5: Can I eat sweets and sugary drinks?Occasionally, yes, but not frequently.

It is advisable to find substitutes and gradually reduce dependence on sugar.Q6: What is the best way to lose weight?Fasting or extreme dieting is not recommended. A balanced diet is the best way to lose weight. Every type of food should be consumed in moderation, and high-sugar, high-fat, and high-calorie foods should be avoided as much as possible.
