What is better for the elderly to eat? Time and tide wait for no man, it is human, and there will always be a day of old age. When people are old, they will enjoy happiness and suffer. Generally speaking, when they are old, they still need to know how to maintain them. Old people have bad teeth and poor digestion, so food must be soft and light. So, what is better for the elderly to eat? 1. Selection of staple food and beans: rice, millet, flour, oats, buckwheat, black rice, mung beans, red beans, black beans, soybeans, tofu and other bean products. 2, the choice of vegetables melon, lotus root, carrot, eggplant, celery, water chestnut, bamboo shoots, cabbage, kelp, black fungus and so on. 3, the choice of fruit pears, watermelons, bananas, strawberries, peaches, grapes, longan, jujube and so on. 4.

What is better for the elderly to eat after reading? Let's take a look at this again: the elderly should eat more brown sugar. Most people think that brown sugar is suitable for women with irregular menstruation who have just given birth. In fact, brown sugar is more suitable for the elderly, especially those who are old, weak and recovering from a serious illness. This is because brown sugar is unrefined crude sugar, which retains more vitamins and minerals. Eating more brown sugar is good for the elderly. Brown sugar is divided into brown sugar, brown sugar powder and bowl sugar. According to the different crystal particles, almost all the components in sugarcane juice are retained because they are not highly refined. Besides the function of sugar, they also contain vitamins and trace elements, such as iron, zinc, manganese and chromium. And the nutrients are much higher than sugar. Every 100g brown sugar contains 90 mg of calcium, 4 mg of iron and a small amount of riboflavin and carotene. Japanese researchers also extracted a polysaccharide called "molasses" from brown sugar. Experiments show that it has strong antioxidant effect and obvious anti-aging effect. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that brown sugar is warm, sweet and enters the spleen, which has the functions of invigorating qi and enriching blood, invigorating spleen and warming stomach, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The intake of trace elements and vitamins in the elderly is gradually decreasing, so attention should be paid to supplementing them in the diet to maintain normal metabolic function and delay aging. Therefore, experts suggest that the elderly should choose more brown sugar when eating sugar. In fact, there are many ways to eat brown sugar If tremella, Lycium barbarum, red dates can be added or cooked with red beans, it will be beneficial to diuresis; Add longan and ginger juice to boil, which has the effects of tonifying the middle warmer, benefiting qi and enriching blood; Cooking with sweet potato and ginger juice not only has health-preserving effect, but also is a unique snack. However, not everyone is suitable for eating brown sugar. Chinese medicine believes that brown sugar is warm and suitable for people who are afraid of cold and weak. In addition, people with high gastric acid, including stomach pain caused by erosive gastritis and gastric ulcer, and diabetic patients should not eat brown sugar. What is the best for the elderly to eat? Old people should eat protein in moderation. Old people need rich protein, and it is best to make half of it from high-quality protein, such as lean meat, milk, eggs, fish and shrimp, beans and so on. Old people should pay attention to eating less high-fat food. It is best to eat more vegetable oils such as soybean oil, sesame oil, peanut oil and corn oil. Old people should pay attention to the supply of iron. In addition to adequate intake of protein, you should also eat more iron-rich green vegetables, kelp, bean products, sesame sauce and so on. Old people should eat more foods with high calcium content. Pay attention to eating milk, soybean milk, tofu, shrimp, sparerib soup and other foods. You can also take a certain amount of vitamin D or cod liver oil to supplement calcium. Old people should eat foods containing multivitamins and fresh fruits. Usually eat more fresh vegetables and coarse rice noodles. The diet of the elderly should be light and not too salty. Because the food is too salty, it will increase the content of sodium ions in the body, increase the circulating blood flow and sodium retention, cause vasoconstriction, raise blood pressure and cause cerebrovascular disorders. Old people should try to eat less greasy and sticky food and avoid overeating. In addition, we should also take care of the physiological characteristics of the elderly in the cooking of vegetables and the production of staple foods. The teeth of the elderly are generally loose and fall off, and their chewing ability is relatively poor. At the same time, the digestive juice secreted by gastrointestinal tract decreases. So the staple food should be soft and delicious. Vegetables should be made of tender leaves and finely cut. Chop the meat and cook it at a slightly higher temperature. Old people try not to eat fruit before meals, so as not to affect normal eating and digestion. Elders who often have hyperacidity should not eat sour fruits such as plums, hawthorn and lemons. People who often have dry stools can eat more peaches, bananas and oranges, but never eat less persimmons, because eating too much will aggravate constipation. People who often have diarrhea should eat less fruits that help defecation, or eat more apples, because apples have astringent effects. Older people with heart disease and edema should not eat fruits with more water content such as watermelon and coconut, so as not to increase the burden on the heart and aggravate edema. Elderly diabetics should not only eat less sugar, but also eat less pears, apples, bananas and other fruits with high sugar content. Hepatitis patients eat more fruits containing more vitamin C, such as oranges and dates, which is beneficial to the treatment and recovery of hepatitis. Old people with nephritis and hypertension should never eat more bananas, which are cold and high in potassium. The elderly should choose to eat suitable fruits according to their own conditions in order to be healthy and secure. The aging of internal organs of the elderly leads to the weakening of various physiological functions. Such as poor digestion, slow intestinal peristalsis, atrophy of gastric mucosa, hyperacidity and so on. , often accompanied by various diseases. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat a lot of fruits at one time, and a diet method of "eat less and eat more meals" can be adopted.
