Old people's physical condition begins to decline, and their digestion and absorption ability and the functions of other organs will be weakened, so the time for eating should be fixed so that the body can adapt quickly.
If the daily eating time is irregular, it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, thus causing digestive system diseases.
Second, we should eat coarse grains properly.
The digestive function of the elderly is weaker than when they were young. Sometimes food is not fully digested in the stomach, or it takes too long to digest, which will increase the burden on the body and affect the absorption of nutrients.
Coarse grains contain a lot of dietary fiber, which can assist the digestive function of gastrointestinal tract and make the body absorb nutrients faster and more completely.
Third, don't eat too greasy.
Greasy food contains a lot of fat and sugar, which can cause senile diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, so the elderly should try to eat lightly and stay away from greasy food.
If you like meat, you should also eat lean meat, and at the same time, moderate vegetables.
Fourth, you can't eat midnight snack.
After eating midnight snack, oxygen is sent to the stomach to digest food, which will cause symptoms such as brain hypoxia, insomnia and dreaminess, which is very unfavorable to health.
