Some products can pose a threat to the health of the elderly. A dietitian doctor told about which gastronomic dishes should be avoided.

According to the doctor, metabolism starts to slow down over the years. The older a person is, the more time his body needs to digest food. It is especially difficult to cope with the processing of industrial products, semi-finished products and sweets.

For this reason, their consumption should be limited. Otherwise, the elderly risk gaining excess weight, diabetes and heart disease. It is necessary to prepare food yourself.

It is better to replace white bread with whole grain. Instead of semi-finished products, the doctor recommended introducing fruits and vegetables into the diet. Nuts and seeds in old age should be used with special care. These products are contraindicated in case of protrusion of the intestinal wall.

It is better to remove red meat from the diet. Instead of this product, you can add fish and poultry. With hypertension, diabetes and excess weight, you should limit the use of canned, spicy and salty dishes, which can also lead to exacerbation of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas.
