If you want to be healthy, you must be hungry and cold. Old people should eat a variety of foods, but the amount of each food should not be too much, and each meal should be seven or eight points full.
TCM dietotherapy health knowledge. The quality should be high.
High quality does not mean high price. For example, bean products, eggs and milk are all high-quality foods, and the elderly should eat them often. Also pay attention to eating more fish and less meat. The main sources of sugar are staple food and fruits and vegetables. Try to reduce the consumption of refined sugar such as white sugar, brown sugar and granulated sugar.

Around our lives, it can be said that no food can replace all the nutrients needed by the body, so we must eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables in our diet. In addition, we should pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables, the collocation of grain thickness and many other aspects.
TCM dietotherapy health knowledge. The temperature should be hot.
The best digestion and absorption process of food is carried out at a temperature close to body temperature. Old people have poor resistance to cold.

Drink less and drink more water.
TCM dietotherapy health knowledge. The speed should be slowed down.
Chewing slowly is good for digestion and absorption. Pay more attention, especially when eating fish. Fish is easy to chew, digest and absorb because of its tender meat. Protein content is high; Low fat content and other advantages, it is the first choice food for the elderly. However, due to the problem of fishbone, the consumption of many elderly people is limited. To solve this problem, we must first choose fish with fewer fishbones. When eating fish, it is best not to eat it with rice and steamed bread at the same time.
