The elderly can't eat anything, and now more and more attention is paid to the health care of the elderly. Rough tea and light rice keep you healthy. Poor food may sound like a simple life to you, and eating is relatively light. Now I'd like to share with you something that old people can't eat.
Things that the elderly can't eat 1 1, fried food: fried food has a high fat content, which is unbearable for the gastrointestinal tract of the elderly, easy to indigestion, and easy to induce biliary and pancreatic diseases, or make the recurrence of such diseases worse; For those elderly people who have good digestion and absorption, obesity is often caused by excessive fat intake. The oil used many times often contains more carcinogens. If you often eat fried food, you will increase the risk of cancer.
2. Smoking and baking: In the process of smoking and baking food, some carcinogens will be produced. Older people are more prone to cancer than the average person. If they often eat smoked and baked food, they will increase the risk of cancer, especially gastric cancer.
3. Pickling: Pickled foods are generally high in salt content and low in vitamin content (vitamin C is mostly destroyed during pickling). If you eat this kind of food often, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
4. Sauce products: including soy sauce, soy sauce and various pickles. They are usually extremely high in salt. If you eat these foods regularly, it will make the elderly unconsciously consume too much salt, thus increasing the burden on cardiovascular and kidney, which is very unfavorable to the health of the elderly, especially for patients with cardiovascular or kidney diseases.
5. Cold drink: After cold drink enters the stomach, it will lead to the decrease of gastric juice secretion, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases and even induce angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, especially for the elderly with cardiovascular diseases.
6, sweets: sweets have a high sugar content. Eating too much will lead to obesity, because excess sugar in the body will be converted into fat. Excessive sugar intake can also lead to inorganic salt deficiency.
7. Animal internal organs: Animal internal organs, such as liver, kidney and brain, have high cholesterol content. If the elderly eat it regularly, it will increase the cholesterol in the blood, which will easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and hypertension, or aggravate the original diseases.
8. Convenience foods: Instant noodles, cakes, oil tea noodles and other convenience foods have less vitamins. If they are eaten as staple food, vitamin deficiency is easy to occur, which is very unfavorable to the health of the elderly.
9. Expired food: If the food is stored for too long, it will go moldy and deteriorate, producing all kinds of harmful substances, which may easily cause food poisoning or cancer.
In addition, try to be vegetarian and eat less meat. Food should be soft and hard, salty, hot and cold.
What can't old people eat? 2 the elderly should pay attention to timely hydration.
The latest research shows that because the brain and body of the elderly are not coordinated in dealing with thirst signals, even if the body is seriously short of water, it is difficult for them to feel thirsty, and they are very prone to heatstroke in midsummer. Therefore, elderly friends must pay attention to timely hydration in summer.
People's blood contains electrolytes, and people will lose water when exercising, breathing and excreting, which will lead to the continuous increase of electrolyte concentration in the blood, and then stimulate chemoreceptors in the blood in the body, which will be transmitted to the brain through nerves, resulting in "thirst" and prompting people to drink water.
However, with the increase of age, the functions of various organs of the elderly have declined, and the elderly feel slower than the young in all aspects, as well as chemoreceptors, so there will be a phenomenon that the body is short of water but not thirsty. Once you can't replenish water in time, it will easily lead to dry skin, poor excretion, constipation, dehydration and heatstroke in the elderly. For the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, blood viscosity caused by lack of water will indirectly lead to myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
Therefore, the elderly should not wait for thirst before drinking water, but should be quantified regularly. Drink water first on an empty stomach in the morning, and you can arrange to drink water twice in the morning, for example, once around 9 o'clock and once around 1 1. You can also arrange to drink water twice in the afternoon according to your own activities. Don't take a sip at night to avoid excessive nocturia, because the evaporation, sweating and breathing of the skin at night will make the body lose water, so you can drink about 200 ml of water. In addition, a small amount of water should be added before exercise, bathing and drinking water. If you sweat for a long time, in addition to drinking water, you should also pay attention to supplementing some sodium and potassium. When drinking water, don't drink it all at once, but drink it several times, and the amount of each drink is small, which is beneficial to the body's absorption.
It should be noted that diabetic patients should also drink more water, but elderly people with glaucoma and renal insufficiency should not drink too much water.
