"Lao Li, what a coincidence!." Doctor Xiao Zhang held a stack of notebooks, beckoning his children while smiling at Lao Li next to the bookshelf.
"Dr. Zhang, what a coincidence." Lao Li put down the book in his hand, turned around and saw a familiar face, and couldn't help laughing.
He is in his 60s this year, and he usually likes to read and study, so today he came to the bookstore to pick up some health care books.
"Are you buying a copybook for your grandson?" Lao Li looked at the calligraphy in Xiao Zhang's arms and couldn't help but be curious.
"Yes, the child is on summer vacation, so I have to let him practice calligraphy." Xiao Zhang replied with a smile. "Anyway, Li Gong, how is your health lately?"
"Hey, the body is okay, it's just an old problem. Recently, I always feel that I have a bad appetite, I have no appetite for anything, and sometimes my stomach hurts faintly. Lao Li shook his head helplessly.
Friendly reminder: Because the characters in this article are long, there may be an "ad unlock mode" in the article, but fortunately, in the new policy of the platform, ad unlocking is free, you only need to read it to continue reading, thank you for the officials, and the platform.
Xiao Zhang frowned, you have to be careful with this symptom, you have a bad appetite and stomach pain, it is best to go to the hospital for a checkup.
By the way, have you eaten anything special lately? Heck, it's fruit season lately, so I just bought a lot of fruit and eat it every day.
You see, I also bought a copy of "Fruit Health Encyclopedia". Lao Li pointed to the book in his hand.
"Fruit is good, but it also has to be in moderation. Especially some fruits, the elderly really can't eat too much. Xiao Zhang sighed, "Your poor appetite and stomach pain may have something to do with the fruit you ate recently." ”
Lao Li was stunned, "How is it possible?" Aren't fruits the healthiest? ”
Xiao Zhang nodded, "Fruits are indeed healthy, but some fruits, especially for the elderly, eating too much can cause some problems and even increase the risk of certain diseases." ”
Hearing this, Lao Li suddenly became interested, "Doctor Zhang, can you tell me in detail?" ”
"Absolutely." Xiao Zhang adjusted his posture and began to explain in detail.
"First of all, the elderly eat less persimmons. Persimmons are rich in tannic acid and pectin, excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal problems, especially if eaten on an empty stomach, it is easier to form stomach persimmon stones, resulting in stomach pain, indigestion and other symptoms.
In fact, the gastrointestinal function of the elderly is already weak, and if you don't pay attention to your diet, it is easy to cause more serious health problems. ”
Lao Li nodded, "In this way, I have indeed eaten a lot of persimmons recently, no wonder I always feel sick to my stomach." ”
"Yes," Zhang continued, "and one more fruit to watch out for is hawthorn."
Although hawthorn can be appetizing and help digestion, it also contains a large amount of organic acids, eating too much will increase gastric acid secretion, easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and even aggravate the stomach disease of the elderly. ”
Lao Li patted his head, "Oh, I've really eaten a lot of hawthorn during this time, it seems that I should pay attention." ”
"Well, the third fruit to mention is durian.
Durian is rich in nutrients, but it contains more fat and sugar, and eating more for the elderly can easily cause indigestion and stomach bloating, and even cause high blood sugar and high blood lipids. ”
Lao Li nodded again and again when he heard this, "Doctor Zhang, you are so right. Looks like I'm going to have to adjust my eating habits. ”
"Yes," Xiao Zhang smiled, "although the fruit is good, you also have to pay attention to the method, especially the elderly, and pay more attention to the balance of the diet."
In fact, the key to health lies in moderation and variety, and we cannot blindly pursue the 'benefits' of a certain food. ”
"Hearing you say that, I really need to reflect on my eating habits." Lao Li said with deep feelings.
Seeing that Lao Li was thoughtful, Xiao Zhang added, "Actually, not only fruits, but also many other foods are the same.
The digestive system function of the elderly is declining, so we must pay attention to the appropriate and balanced diet to avoid excessive intake of a certain food and cause health problems. ”
"Dr. Zhang, you're so right. I must adjust my eating habits when I go back, and I can't be willful anymore. Lao Li said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Zhang hugged the notebook and said goodbye to Lao Li with the child. Lao Li also left the bookstore with his newly bought books and full of feelings.
Back at home, Lao Li began to study his eating habits seriously and adjusted his fruit intake according to Xiao Zhang's advice.
After a few weeks, Lao Li's appetite slowly returned to normal, and the symptoms of stomach pain were relieved.
In daily life, Lao Li also began to pay more attention to the balance and diversity of his diet.
He gradually discovered that the key to staying healthy is not only the intake of a certain food, but also the overall diet and lifestyle adjustment.
However, Lao Li still has a question in his heart: "Since there are so many fruits, are there other healthy diet suggestions that are more suitable for some elderly people?" ”
In response to this problem, Xiao Zhang further answered everyone's doubts in a community health lecture.
"Dr. Zhang," an old woman asked, raising her hand, "since some fruits have so many taboos for us seniors, how can we eat them in order to enjoy them delicious and stay healthy?" ”
Xiao Zhang smiled and replied, "This is actually a very good question. The key is to eat a balanced diet and eat in moderation.
The elderly can choose some fruits that are less burdensome on the body, such as apples, pears, grapes, etc., and at the same time pay attention to the appropriate amount and do not eat too much at one time.
In addition, you can also ensure a comprehensive intake of nutrients by eating a varied diet, such as increasing the intake of vegetables, whole grains and high-quality protein. ”
"Is it okay to drink juice?" Another uncle asked curiously.
"Although fruit juice is convenient, many commercially available fruit juices are high in sugar and remove the fiber from the fruit, which is not as healthy as eating the fruit directly.
If you want to drink fruit juice, it is recommended to choose sugar-free pure fruit juice, preferably freshly squeezed at home to ensure freshness and nutrition. Xiao Zhang patiently explained.
"Oh, I see." The old lady nodded, indicating that she understood.
After the lecture, the elders of the community expressed their gratitude to Xiao Zhang, and they learned a lot of new knowledge about healthy eating through this lecture.
Lao Li also felt that he had benefited a lot, and he was determined to not only pay attention to his diet in the future, but also share this knowledge with more friends and family.
On the road to healthy eating, Lao Li and his friends have taken firm steps.
Not only did they learn how to choose and eat fruits scientifically, but they also further improved their quality of life by adjusting their overall diet.
As the saying goes, healthy eating habits are not only an important means to prevent diseases, but also the key to improving the quality of life.
It is hoped that through Lao Li's story, more elderly people can realize the importance of scientific diet, so as to enjoy a healthier and happier life in their later years.
