How to eat breakfast for the elderly is healthy?
1, no fried dough sticks for breakfast.

Fried dough sticks should be a must for many people's breakfast. They are not only delicious, but also full. Many people say that I have eaten fried dough sticks for decades. Why didn't I get any disease? In fact, the occurrence of diseases is also closely related to personal physique.

However, we have to admit that fried dough sticks are fried foods with high fat content, which are prone to indigestion and biliary and pancreatic diseases after long-term consumption. For those elderly people who have good digestion and absorption, eating fried dough sticks often may lead to obesity.

2. Eat soft food for breakfast.

Old people should not eat too greasy, spicy, dry and fried food in the morning, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach, which will easily lead to food retention in the stomach and indigestion.

It is suggested that the elderly should eat more soft and digestible foods for breakfast, and add some health foods such as lotus seeds, red dates, yams and longan for better health care.

3. Eat less breakfast.

With the increase of age, the gastrointestinal function of the elderly gradually declined. If you often overeat in the morning and eat more food than the digestive capacity of the stomach, it will increase the digestive burden of the stomach and cause gastrointestinal diseases.

In addition, a large amount of food residues are stored in the large intestine, and the decomposed protein enters the human blood through the intestinal wall, which is easy to cause vascular diseases and seriously affects health.

4. Don't eat breakfast too early.

Many elderly people can't sleep in the morning and get up early to cook and eat breakfast, but the breakfast time is also particular, usually at seven or eight o'clock in the morning.

Because when the human body is sleeping, digestive juice is secreted, and gastrointestinal peristalsis continues to move to digest and absorb the food eaten at dinner, and it does not start to rest until the early hours of the morning. If breakfast is eaten too early, these organs will start a new day's work before they have a rest, which will increase the workload of gastrointestinal work in the long run.

Don't eat the leftovers from the night before for breakfast.

For most elderly people, they have inherited the fine virtues of the Chinese nation-diligence and thrift. Leftovers from the previous night will be kept in the refrigerator until the next morning. Although this practice is frugal, it lacks nutrition.

Because these leftovers will be heated, there will be a carcinogen-nitrous acid, which is harmful to human health for a long time. Especially for the elderly with weakened gastrointestinal function, these leftovers are likely to deteriorate. If you accidentally eat spoiled food, it may also cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
