Due to the aging of internal organs, the physiological functions of the elderly weaken. For example, they have poor digestion, slower intestinal peristalsis, atrophy of gastric mucosa, excessive stomach acid, and are prone to various diseases. Therefore, it is not advisable for them to consume a large amount of fruit at once, and they can adopt a "eat less, eat more frequently" approach.
Those who often have excessive stomach acid should avoid fruits such as plums, hawthorns, and lemons, which contain a lot of organic acids.
Those who often have dry stool can eat more peaches, bananas, oranges, etc., as these fruits have a laxative effect.
Persimmons contain a large amount of pectin, and eating too much can worsen constipation.
Those who often have diarrhea should not eat the aforementioned fruits that have a laxative effect. They can eat some apples appropriately, as apples have astringent properties.
Those with heart disease and edema should not eat fruits with high water content such as watermelon and coconut, in order to avoid increasing the burden on the heart and worsening edema.
People with diabetes should not only consume less sugar, but also eat fewer fruits with high sugar content, such as pears, apples, and bananas.
Patients with hepatitis should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and fresh jujubes, as it is beneficial for the treatment and recovery of hepatitis.
Do not eat fruit before meals to avoid affecting normal eating and digestion.
Elderly patients with kidney disease, hypertension, and other conditions should not consume a lot of bananas, as they have a cooling and slippery nature, but high potassium content.
