I haven't been home to see my parents for a long time. I had time to go home a few days ago and suddenly found my parents a little old. I bought walnuts for my father. My father said they were too hard because my teeth were a little loose. You don't always eat meat when you eat, but you want a balanced nutrition. Yes, as you get older, you really should pay attention to a balanced diet. So how should the diet of the elderly be matched? I have some suggestions to share with you.

First, more calcium supplementation With the growth of age, a lot of calcium is lost in the body, and many elderly people are prone to osteoporosis. Need proper calcium supplementation. You can drink more pure milk or bone soup, beef soup and so on. And eating more foods with high calcium content is very helpful to the health of the elderly.

Second, drink less. Old people should not drink too much wine, which is easy to bring burden to the heart, such as myocardial infarction and heart disease. Many of them are caused by drinking too much. In addition, it is easy to get cirrhosis. Family members must be careful not to let the elderly drink too much.

Third, the elderly with less oil and less salt should pay attention to balanced nutrition, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less greasy food. Meat can eat high-quality protein meat such as lean meat, and can also be supplemented by fish, eggs, milk, soy products and so on. Eating less oil and salt when cooking, especially salt and monosodium glutamate, is easy to cause hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. In addition, fried foods should be eaten as little as possible, and nuts such as melon seeds, pistachios and walnuts can be eaten properly. When cooking for the elderly, try to make it soft. Old people may have loose teeth, even if they wear dentures, sometimes eating is not easy to use, so try to cook them soft and rotten when cooking, so as to facilitate the elderly to eat. You can cook more porridge and soft noodles, and steam vegetables and meat as soft as possible.

In fact, the diet of the elderly is very simple. What matters is the children's intentions. In addition to nutritious meals, children should spend more time with their parents to eliminate the loneliness of the elderly. If they really don't have time, they can find something for their parents to do, such as square dancing, Tai Ji Chuan or chatting with friends and playing chess. And keep a good mood every day.
