Question
My child has been crying and fussing a lot recently and isn’t eating much. Which health supplements are suitable for the elderly?
Answer
Elderly individuals should eat smaller, more frequent meals and consume more cooked, soft, appetizing, and easily digestible foods. Additionally, due to the dry autumn climate, it is easy to suffer from autumn dryness syndrome. Therefore, when choosing food, it is best to opt for sweet, mild, moisturizing, and lung-nourishing products. Such as: pears, lilies, ophiopogon, bupleurum root, yam, pork lung, lotus seeds, lotus root, etc., which can be consumed more; you can also add some tonifying Chinese herbs to cook porridge or brew wine for drinking, such as goji porridge, rhizoma polygonati porridge, yuzhu wine, persimmon wine, etc., which have a positive effect on strengthening the body and preventing diseases.
