The concept of separate nutrition and food combining is based on the known fact that the composition of digestive juices depends on the food consumed. Critics have noted that combinations of products proposed or rejected within the framework of this concept are not always scientifically founded. This preprint does not propose combinations, but the consumption of only one product at a time. This is the kind of nutrition by some persons working from home. Simple meals are prepared according to a momentary preference. Only one product is often consumed. As experience shows, with such a diet, dyspepsia does not appear. Aged people have lower calorie requirements but similar or even elevated nutrient needs compared to younger adults. Importance of the diet quality increases at an old age. Nutrient-dense options with relatively smaller portion sizes are advisable. Examples of dishes, makeable at home or available at restaurants, are discussed and illustrated here.
