1. Do not indulge in alcohol: Long-term excessive drinking among the elderly not only puts a heavier burden on the heart, but also leads to cirrhosis.
2. Do not indulge in meat: Excessive fat intake in the elderly's diet can lead to hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia, which is not conducive to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
3. Do not indulge in refined foods: Elderly people who consume refined white rice and flour for a long time have a lower intake of fiber, which weakens intestinal peristalsis and leads to constipation.
4. Do not indulge in saltiness: Excessive sodium intake in the elderly can easily cause hypertension, stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure.
5. Do not indulge in sweetness: Excessive consumption of sweets by the elderly can lead to obesity, diabetes, and is not conducive to physical and mental health.
6. Do not overeat: Elderly people should eat until they are about 70-80% full. Long-term overeating not only increases the burden of digestion and absorption in the stomach and intestines, but also can induce or worsen cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, leading to sudden death.
7. Do not consume hot foods: The temperature of the elderly's diet should be warm, not scalding hot. Hot food can easily damage the oral cavity, esophagus, and stomach. Long-term exposure of the digestive tract to hot and irritating food can lead to gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.
8. Do not indulge in cold foods: Long-term consumption of cold and frozen foods stimulates the digestive tract, making the elderly more prone to gastritis, diarrhea, and dysentery.
