For the elderly, in order to provide sufficient energy to the body, it is necessary to keep the stomach working efficiently, providing the body with sufficient energy and nutrients. The key to maintaining a healthy stomach is to avoid getting cold both inside and outside. The following winter stomach nourishing schedule is worth referring to for the elderly.
Stomach Nourishing Schedule:
Drink a cup of warm water at 7:00.
Drinking water early in the morning can replenish the water lost throughout the night and fully moisturize every corner of the body.It should be noted that in the morning, when the body's yang energy is generated, drinking cold water is a "counter trend" and can easily cause adverse stimulation to the stomach.
Eating hot food for breakfast at 8:00
Survey shows that the probability of not eating breakfast causing liver and gallbladder diseases is 11.7%, and the probability of causing stomach diseases is as high as 36%. A nutritionally balanced breakfast should include several major categories of food, including grains, dairy products, meat, soy products, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Don't get cold during morning exercises at 9:30.
Due to the proximity of the stomach to the abdominal wall, only a small amount of muscle, fat, etc. are wrapped around the periphery, making it easy to get "cold". Therefore, when elderly people do morning exercises in winter, they must do a good job of keeping their stomachs warm. It's best to go out for exercise after the sunshine is bright, and take care of your waist and abdomen during exercise.
Drinking soup before lunch at 12:00
In situations where food is relatively dry and saliva secretion is insufficient, an appropriate amount of soup is beneficial for digestion and absorption, especially during the winter when the stomach is "lazy". Soup can dilute saliva and gastric juice, but its impact on intestinal digestive fluids is minimal. Be careful not to swallow rice and soup together. Rice that has not been thoroughly chewed can easily lead to indigestion.
Chatting with old friends at 15:00
Many people lose their appetite after getting angry, and those with pre-existing stomach problems can even worsen their condition. In winter, people's mood tends to become low with the temperature. Chatting with family and old friends can warm up the heart and stomach.Don't be too full for dinner at 18:00
Be sure to control it to "70-80% full". Eat a little less at each meal and add a moderate amount between two main meals to maintain the total amount without starving the stomach.
Standing at 19:00 helps digestion
People who are prone to burning sensation in the stomach should avoid lying down or sitting for a long time after meals, as it can easily reflux into the esophagus and worsen symptoms. Do not engage in strenuous exercise within half an hour of dining.
