After solidification at room temperature, they are cut together. You can also eat a few, similar to jelly, especially suitable for the elderly with bad teeth. With the increase of age, the size of the stomach becomes smaller and the digestive function weakens. You feel full when you don't eat much at every meal, and sometimes you have a bad appetite and don't want to eat. If you eat less and are hungry quickly, it is easy to be greedy between meals.

What precautions should the elderly pay attention to when eating dessert?

1, elderly people should not eat too many desserts.

Snacks can't be like dinner, just a supplement. So don't overdo it, or it will affect your health.

Snacks should be eaten between meals or when you feel hungry after work and study at night to supplement the lack of dinner, and digestible snacks should be eaten.

Young people had better not eat cold drinks.

Because this kind of snack is too cold, it will stimulate the gastrointestinal blood vessels of the elderly and cause contraction. At the same time, it will also affect the digestive function of the elderly and even induce diseases such as gastroenteritis. Therefore, for the sake of the gastrointestinal health of the elderly, cold drinks should be eaten with caution.
