1, thicken juice tastes good.
Old people need to pay great attention to their diet, and put less sugar and salt in cooking! Put less seasoning, then pour the soup with heavy seasoning on the dish or thicken it; You can also pour the juice on the cooked food before you go in. In this way, the sweetness and salty taste are only spread on the surface of food, which not only satisfies the desire of the tongue, but also does not have to worry about eating too much salt and sugar.
2. Replace salt with sugar to keep healthy.
Another method is to replace sugar and salt with sugar and salt. This can not only satisfy the desire to eat sweets, but also have no side effects on health. The method is also suitable for elderly diabetic patients. In addition, low-sodium salt and low-salt sauce are also possible, but not suitable for the elderly with poor renal function. Attractive food can stimulate people's brains and arouse their desire to eat.
It tastes good when it is hot.
The control of food flavor is also very important, because flavor can stimulate appetite. Controlling the temperature of food is an important step to lock the fragrance, so the food must be eaten while it is hot, or the hot soup can be poured on the table, which can achieve quite good results.
Another way is to add some flavor enhancers to food. This seasoning is concentrated from natural food aroma sources, and will not stimulate the stomach, which is very helpful for the elderly who are anorexic due to loss of taste.
4, a good environment helps appetite.
In addition, we can improve our appetite by creating a good dining environment and strengthening the overall color of food. Food with attractive colors, or specially decorated dining tables and tablecloths can stimulate people's brains and arouse their desire to eat.

In addition, the taste and smell of the elderly are not sensitive, and the ability to distinguish rotten food or inappropriate chemicals will decline. Therefore, when preparing food, we must pay attention to food safety and hygiene.
6, moderate hardness and smoothness
If it is a swallowing problem, it is necessary to slow down the speed of eating and adjust the quality of food to match. We can mix the cut cooked vegetables into the food and mash the fruit, but we should avoid the food that is too slippery and sticky. Thin liquid is also not suitable, because improper control is easy to choke.
7, multi-person * * * meal is better.
As for the elderly with psychological barriers such as depression, depression and world-weariness, it should be helpful to arrange meals for many people. You can eat it with the old people in your neighbor's house, or you can eat it with the old and young at home. I believe that the lively dining atmosphere will change the mood of the elderly and increase their appetite. In addition, you can also ask the doctor to prescribe some drugs that can stimulate appetite.
