Many elderly people are accustomed to a thick bowl of rice porridge or steamed buns for breakfast, plus a plate of small pickles. In fact, eating this kind of breakfast for a long time is very bad for the health of the elderly.
Although steamed porridge is easy to digest and filling, they are high-starch foods that will be converted into glucose after being eaten into the body. Although glucose is the body's energy** and is one of the most important organic substances in the body, too much glucose can cause blood sugar levels to rise, which can easily induce diabetes over time. In addition, eating pickled food for a long time will cause more salt into the body, which will cause certain damage to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and digestive system of the elderly.
From a nutritional point of view, the nutritional value of porridge and steamed bread is too single, and it is a fine staple food, lack of coarse grains, in the long run, it will lead to a lack of nutrients in the middle-aged and elderly, a decrease in absorption rate, a decrease in intestinal peristalsis, and a situation prone to constipation.
Therefore, steamed bread and porridge are not the ideal breakfast for the elderly, and we recommend coarse grains such as sweet potatoes and corn as staple foods. A leaf of autumn grain sweet waxy corn, 0 addition 0 preservative, soft and glutinous sweet, just one for the elderly every day. In addition, in addition to the intake of "carbohydrates", it is necessary to supplement enough high-quality protein, vitamins and high-quality fats. A varied and balanced breakfast diet for the elderly is the most important thing, not only to eat well, but also to eat well.
