Tremella tremella has a good effect of moistening lung and tonifying kidney, and many elderly people like to eat it. However, modern medicine has found that tremella can easily lead to intestinal obstruction if taken improperly. This is mainly because tremella is not easy to digest, and the digestive ability of the elderly is relatively poor. If you take too much Xu Liang at one time, it will easily lead to indigestion and even intestinal obstruction, mainly manifested as colic, nausea, vomiting and constipation. If the problem is serious, surgery is needed.
Away from fried and fried foods, the intestines and stomach of middle-aged and elderly people have gradually degenerated and weakened, and they are not as vigorous as when they were young. Sometimes the mouth wants to eat, but the stomach can't hold it, especially the hard fruit. It's hard to digest if you eat too much. If you feel uncomfortable after eating it, you'd better not eat it.
At the same time, stay away from fried and fried foods. Fried food is not only the problem of oil, but also the main source of trans fatty acids intake at home. Trans fatty acids are the number one risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Less oil doesn't mean not eating oil. Saturated fatty oils include animal fats and vegetable oils rich in saturated fatty acids, such as palm oil, coconut oil, refined vegetable oil and cream. These oils will lead to the increase of triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in blood, which is the direct cause of dyslipidemia.
This kind of food is mainly concentrated in biscuits, snacks, western-style fast food fried food, ice cream, candy and so on. Eat less of this food, and don't eat it if you can.

So it is best not to eat too greasy, high in oil and fat, high in sugar and salt, which is difficult to digest and absorb. Because gastrointestinal function may also decline, so don't eat too much cold and irritating food.
Conclusion In a word, we should reduce the intake of fat, calories, sugar and salt and give priority to a light diet. Cooking is mainly based on steaming, boiling, stewing, stewing, cold salad and frying, and stay away from frying, frying and barbecue foods.
Besides the types of food, I also want to say that it depends on the amount of food we eat. Most foods are not drugs, and a little may not cause obvious discomfort. The key point is to avoid using a certain food in large quantities for a long time, which may cause excessive intake of certain elements or nutritional imbalance.
