What should the elderly pay attention to during winter health care?

     　Avoid more expensive supplements
　　
　　“"Things that are rare are valuable." Noble traditional foods such as bird's nests and shark's fins actually have no special therapeutic effects, while very common foods such as sweet potatoes and onions have therapeutic value worthy of attention. In addition, all dietary therapies have certain targets and indications, so medicinal diets should be determined according to needs and should not be judged based on high or low. Especially for the elderly, practicality and low price should be the principles of nourishment.
　　
　　Avoid taking any supplement with meat
　　
　　Animal food is undoubtedly a good supplement among supplements. It is not only highly nutritious, but also delicious. But meat is not easy to digest and absorb. If you eat it in large quantities for a long time, it will be harmful to people whose gastrointestinal function has declined. elderly People are often overwhelmed, and certain "by-products" in the digestion process of meat, such as excessive lipids, sugars and other substances, are often responsible for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer Causes of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases in the elderly.

Because drugs and food have both health care and therapeutic effects, they also have certain side effects. Taking them for a long time and in large quantities will affect the nutritional balance in the body. Especially for the elderly, not only do the functions of various organs decline to varying degrees and require comprehensive and systematic conditioning, but they also have different needs for health care drugs and food in different seasons. Therefore, it is very necessary to make adjustments according to different situations, and we cannot always make up for it until the end.
　　
　　Avoid focusing on “in” and not on “out””
　　
　　With the improvement of people's living standards, many families have meaty and greasy meals every day. The acidic and toxic substances produced by the metabolism of these foods need to be excreted in time. The accelerated pace of life has caused many people to have irregular bowel movements and even constipate . Therefore, in recent years, health experts have proposed a new concept of health care that focuses on "negative nutrition", that is, paying attention to the discharge of human waste and reducing the retention and absorption of "intestinal toxins". They advocate that while taking supplements, you should also pay attention to timely and smooth defecation.
