In addition, in hot weather, people are greedy for raw and cold food, which leads to gastrointestinal dysfunction, or unclean food can easily lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and even food poisoning.

Under the influence of cold temperature, the physiological function and appetite of human body will change. Therefore, it is very necessary to adjust the diet reasonably, ensure the sufficiency of essential nutrients, improve the cold tolerance and immune function of the elderly, and make them spend the winter safely and smoothly. First of all, we must ensure the supply of heat energy. Such as lean meat, eggs, fish, milk, beans and their products. Protein contained in these foods is not only easy for human body to digest and absorb, but also rich in essential amino acids with high nutritional value, which can increase human body's cold resistance and disease resistance. Winter is also the off-season of vegetables. Vegetables are few in quantity and monotonous in variety, especially in northern China.

The cold in winter will also affect the nutritional metabolism of the human body and increase the consumption of various nutrients to varying degrees. Due to the influence of digestion, absorption and metabolism in the body, the elderly often lack potassium, calcium, sodium, iron and other elements. In addition, the inorganic salts discharged with urine in winter increase, which should be supplemented in time. You can eat more foods rich in calcium, iron, sodium and potassium, such as shrimp, shrimp skin, sesame paste, pork liver and bananas. If there is low sodium, it tastes slightly salty when cooking, so it can be supplemented.
