機械軟質飲食（Mechanical Soft Diet）旨在為咀嚼或吞嚥能力受損的病人提供容易進食的食物。其特點是食物質地經過處理（如切碎、搗碎、烹煮至軟爛），以降低咀嚼負擔。選擇此類飲食時，應避開堅硬、粗糙、纖維多或乾燥的食物。白飯質地柔軟，經過烹煮後水分充足，符合機械軟質飲食的標準，適合吞嚥功能退化的病人。
A mechanical soft diet is intended to provide easily consumed foods for clients with impaired chewing or swallowing. Its hallmark is texture modification (such as chopping, mashing, or cooking foods until tender) to reduce chewing effort. When selecting foods for this diet, hard, coarse, fibrous, or dry items should be avoided. Steamed white rice is soft, moist after cooking, and meets the criteria of a mechanical soft diet, making it appropriate for clients with declining swallowing function.
