How to avoid dyspepsia in the daily diet of the elderly? With the aging of society, there are more and more elderly people, and the younger generation are more and more worried about the health of the elderly. The elderly are also slowly declining with age. Intestinal problems, indigestion and other problems have a great impact on the health of the elderly. How to deal with indigestion in the elderly?

1. Adhere to good living habits and maintain a stable and optimistic mood. If you can't eat enough, regular and quantitative, and appropriate activities after meals, you can automate and program the gastrointestinal function, so as to reduce its burden. Regular solution is an important method to prevent constipation. Emotion has a great impact on gastrointestinal digestive function. Anger and depression not only affect gastrointestinal movement, but also affect the secretion of digestive juice. Over time, dyspepsia will occur.

2. Do not use or use less drugs to inhibit gastrointestinal function. Diazepam and theophylline can inhibit gastrointestinal function. Some drugs, such as phenolphthalein, bisakodine (benazetin), triester phentine, etc., although they can be effective for a while for constipation, long-term use will make the intestine lose its ability to move, resulting in or aggravating constipation.

3. Check frequently. In case of abnormal symptoms of digestive tract, go to the hospital for examination in time. Even if the situation is normal, gastrointestinal endoscopy and B-ultrasound examination should be done regularly. It is now recognized that fecal occult blood test is an effective method for early detection of gastrointestinal tumors. It is neither painful nor expensive. It can be sent for examination regularly. Those who have gastrointestinal polyps should be completely removed in time to avoid future problems.

4. Repair your teeth and form the habit of chewing and swallowing slowly. The elderly have loose and falling teeth, which will make the food chew incompletely in the mouth. Renovating teeth, chewing calmly and swallowing slowly strengthen the mechanical processing of food, which can not only reduce the burden of gastrointestinal tract, but also avoid the adverse stimulation of rough and hard food to gastrointestinal mucosa.

5. Avoid eating indigestible food. Fried and fried food, undercooked meat, fish and eggs are not easy to digest. High fat foods can delay gastric emptying and should be eaten as little as possible.

6. Appropriately increase the consumption of cellulose rich foods. Cellulose can promote gastrointestinal movement, increase muscle tone and reduce the formation of gastrointestinal diverticulum. All kinds of fresh green vegetables, kelp and laver contain more cellulose. In addition to the high content of cellulose, oatmeal also contains a variety of trace elements and has the function of reducing blood lipid. You might as well eat more at ordinary times.

7. Strengthen systemic exercise. Especially the exercise of abdominal muscles can enhance the motor function of gastrointestinal tract and increase appetite. Strong abdominal muscles can make defecation easy and easy.
