Second, drink water when you are thirsty. There are also many people who think of drinking water when they are thirsty, especially teenagers and "busy people". They don't know that thirst is a reaction to lack of water in the body. It's too late to replenish water now. Water is more important to human metabolism than food. Physiologists tell us that every adult needs to drink about 1500ml of water every day. It is good to drink a glass of water in the morning or an hour before meals. It can not only clean the gastrointestinal tract, but also help digestion and promote appetite. According to the survey, the prevalence of constipation urinary calculi in people who have drinking habits is significantly lower than that in people who don't drink water regularly.
Third, if coarse grains are good, we should eat more. Many elderly people think that eating coarse grains can supplement various nutrients and relieve constipation, so many middle-aged and elderly people eat coarse grains for three meals a day. However, in fact, eating coarse grains is not as much as possible. Coarse grains are coarse. Eating too much will not only increase the digestive burden, but also form physical friction on the gastrointestinal tract. It will cause some discomfort, and it will also cause ulcer bleeding, vein rupture bleeding and so on. Coarse grains are best mixed with flour and rice.
Fourth, tooth loss does not need to be filled. Many elderly people have tooth loss, but some people don't care, thinking that this is the normal state of the elderly. As we all know, tooth loss not only affects the appearance problem, but also affects people's chewing function. Incomplete chewing will burden the stomach and affect the nutrient intake. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to oral hygiene and brush their teeth regularly every morning and evening. If the teeth are diseased, they should be treated in time to ensure that the normal chewing function is not affected.
