1. The health proverb "Eat well at breakfast, eat enough at lunch and eat less at dinner" is widely circulated. But for the elderly with weak spleen and stomach, to ensure a good breakfast, we must put an end to several taboos.

2. Eat less sweets. Eating sweets for breakfast is easy to turn heat into fire, so that there is too much sugar in the body, which affects the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach, causing indigestion, leading to loss of appetite, bloating, greasy and tasteless mouth, and belching and swallowing acid. Excessive consumption of desserts can also cause obesity and elevated blood lipids, affect cardiopulmonary function, and even lead to cardiopulmonary failure. Therefore, don't take cookies and sweet bread with high sugar content as the staple food for breakfast. You can choose corn flour steamed bread and egg cake. If you drink porridge or soybean milk, you should add little or no sugar.

3. Eat less animal viscera. Animal visceral cholesterol is high, so people of all ages should not eat more, especially the elderly. Eating too much animal viscera, such as pig liver, kidney flower, fat intestine, husband and wife lung slices, etc. , will increase serum cholesterol, induce arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and less meat and animal offal for breakfast. Old Beijingers' favorite pot-stewed dishes should be avoided as much as possible. The rich fiber in vegetables can purify the intestines, promote absorption, reduce constipation and provide rich nutrients and vitamins needed by the human body. Eating more vegetables can also fight cancer.

4. Eat less fried food. Many old people like to buy fried dough sticks and cakes in the morning. This habit suggests that you should change it. First, fried food has a high fat content, which is unbearable in the gastrointestinal tract and is easy to induce diseases such as gallbladder and pancreas. Second, the oil used many times often contains more carcinogens. If you often eat fried food, you will increase the risk of cancer.

5. Breakfast must be light. Porridge dishes are the best, such as purple rice flour steamed bread, sesame paste rolls, steamed buns, wonton, bean paste buns, nut bread, toast, corn porridge and so on. A little cold dishes and pickles is a good breakfast. Don't eat too much breakfast for old friends, just be full at seven or eight points, otherwise the digestion time will be too long, which will easily lead to the accumulation of blood in the digestive system for too long, resulting in a decrease in cerebral blood flow and listlessness all morning. In addition, it is most appropriate to have breakfast 20~30 minutes after getting up.
