It is best for the elderly to eat two meals a day

The spleen and stomach of the elderly have become weaker. At this time, the diet should be softer, smaller, and warmer, especially at night. Do not eat too much, otherwise it will easily cause heart disease. The best way is to eat two meals a day to help transport food.

Many lesbians complain to me that we are so unlucky that we only go around in seven years and age quickly. At this time, I told them that nature is fair. After these 7 and 8 pass one by one, let's take a look. Gay men and lesbians meet again at the age of 56, one is 7856, and the other is 8756. After the age of 56, people begin to gradually enter the state of old age.

Lesbians are over 56 years old, and each one is more energetic than the other. All the old ladies perform Yangko, and the old gentlemen all go home after they turn 50 or 60. This is not only the case in China, but also abroad. This means that the entire life of lesbians is a process from yin to yang, while that of gay men is a process from yang to yin. When a gay man is young, his yang energy is dominant. After he reaches the age of 56, his yang energy becomes weaker and weaker, and his yin energy becomes heavier and heavier, so he is willing to stay at home and is unwilling to go out for a walk. This is the process of life.

When we understand the process of life, we can know that traditional Chinese medicine studies not only a problem of treating diseases, but also studies the process of your entire life. After entering old age, we need to pay special attention to our diet. Why?

We can see a lot of this phenomenon in clinics. Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest time for the elderly. The children come back, including sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. They make a big table, and after they are done, everyone eats.

Why does this happen? The reason is very simple, because the elderly's spleen and stomach functions are weaker, and their own spleen and stomach functions are weaker. In addition, they cannot use the yang energy of nature at night, so they eat a lot of things and cannot transport them. Traditional Chinese medicine says that the spleen and stomach belong to earth, and the heart belongs to fire. Among the five elements, earth generates fire. The relationship between the heart and the spleen and stomach is like the relationship between a mother and her son. If a son is burdened heavily, he must borrow strength from his mother. This is called "the son stealing the mother's energy." The heart will beat loudly and heart disease will occur. We have seen this phenomenon a lot.

Therefore, the elderly must maintain the habits of the elderly. As we said before, it is best for the elderly to eat two meals, around nine in the morning and around three in the afternoon. In this way, the incidence of heart disease in the elderly will be very low. On the contrary, if you follow the diet of young people, eat some leftovers in the morning, eat some leftovers at noon, and eat a good meal at night, the incidence of cardiometabolic diseases will be high.

The elderly should eat softer, smaller and warmer food, and chew slowly while eating, because the elderly's own digestive ability is weak. After the food is fully chewed in the mouth, saliva is the best digestive enzyme. At this time, the elderly can no longer wolf down the food.
