honey

Honey is a nutritional treasure that is very suitable for the physiological needs of the elderly. It can not only provide energy and nutrition for the body, but also provide a carbohydrate that is most suitable for preserving protein. This may be the theoretical basis for many elderly people to like honey. Honey enhances the resistance of the elderly and has a preventive and therapeutic effect on senile diseases. Regular consumption by the elderly can prevent and treat cough, insomnia, vascular diseases, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal ulcers, constipation and dysentery.

Vegetables and fruits

Because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, they are also rich in dietary fiber, which can not only prevent constipation, but also reduce the damage of harmful substances in feces to the intestinal wall and prevent intestinal cancer.

Starch food

Starch food mainly inhibits intestinal cancer in two ways: first, after starch enters the intestine, it helps to increase feces, promote colon excretion and accelerate the excretion of carcinogenic metabolites. Secondly, starch can produce a large number of butyrate through the action of intestinal fermentation enzymes. Experiments show that butyrate is an effective cancer cell growth inhibitor, which can directly inhibit the proliferation of bacteria in the large intestine and prevent the generation of cancer-causing cells on the inner wall of the large intestine.

All kinds of food crops

Besides cereal bread, rice made of noodles, bean jelly, pancakes, steamed dumplings and buckwheat is also a good choice. Five-grain porridge rich in B vitamins and vitamin E, such as Laba porridge, Babaolian porridge and lotus leaf porridge, is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
