First of all, talk about the health problems of the elderly.
First, greasy food is easy to be obese. Generally, greasy food is high in calories. If the human body absorbs these calories and cannot consume them, it will turn into fat, which will cause obesity. Obesity will increase the prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases. These diseases will not only affect human health, but also shorten people's life span to some extent.
Second, greasy food affects digestion and causes gastrointestinal discomfort. With the growth of people's age, the digestive system is slowly degenerating, that is, the gastrointestinal peristalsis of the elderly will slow down. If the elderly eat greasy food, it will stimulate the stomach to secrete a lot of gastric juice, and the gastrointestinal function of the elderly will be weakened, which is prone to discomfort such as gastric reflux, abdominal distension and abdominal pain. Therefore, the elderly should eat some light, soft and digestible food.
Third, greasy food can easily lead to atherosclerosis. Eating too much greasy food will increase cholesterol, fatty acids and other substances in the blood, which will attach and deposit on the blood vessel wall, leading to atherosclerosis, which will seriously block blood vessels and lead to diseases such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
Fourth, greasy food increases the risk of cancer. Studies have shown that the occurrence of cancers such as colon cancer and breast cancer is related to greasy food. For example, after greasy food enters the human body, it will lead to an increase in bile secretion. The bile that enters the colon with food will be decomposed by harmful bacteria in the colon, thus forming carcinogens and increasing the risk of colon cancer.
In short, if it is for the sake of the health of the elderly, it is recommended that the elderly keep a light diet and exercise properly.
Second, talk about the feelings of the elderly.
If the elderly are very old and like greasy food very much, reducing their diet at this time will affect their mood. Just like my grandfather, he is over 90 years old this year. Our family hopes that the old man can live the rest of his life happily, and eating meat will make him happier. So we rarely restrict his diet, and even let him eat whatever he wants.
