      elderly The diet of the elderly is different from that of young people. The elderly must pay attention to their meals, not just eating light and easy-to-digest foods. Some people will find that what they eat first and what they eat later will affect the appetite of the elderly. Why is this? What kind of eating order is good for the elderly? ? The editor will briefly introduce it to you below!

      1. Eat some fresh vegetables or soy products first. For example, stir-fried cabbage, spinach, cold cucumber, shredded tofu, etc. These dishes are relatively light and will not affect digestion after eating. On the contrary, they will increase your appetite because of their lightness.

      2. Eat some more stews and stir-fries that have a slightly stronger flavor. For example, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, etc. Since you started eating relatively lightly, eating something with a strong flavor at this time can increase your appetite.

      3. Then comes the staple food. Whole grains contain various nutrients and are essential foods for the human body. They should be consumed appropriately at every meal. The elderly should not eat too much, as too much will increase the feeling of fullness and be bad for the gastrointestinal tract.

      4. Finally, have some desserts (such as sweet soup, snacks, etc.) as a spice on the table. Eat them at the end, firstly, they can have a refreshing effect, and secondly, they can help stimulate the appetite. But don’t eat too much dessert. Just take a few bites and leave some “space” in your stomach.

      Warm reminder: The order of eating can not only help the elderly eat more and eat more deliciously, but the scientific eating order can also make the elderly eat better. healthy life.
