Question
How should one handle an elderly person who lacks satiety when eating and has no self-control? My grandfather is 77 years old, and his memory and thinking are very confused and blurred. One issue that the family is very worried about is that he has no self-control when eating; he seems to have no sense of hunger or fullness. Sometimes he eats only a small bowl of rice and doesn’t want to eat anymore, while other times he eats two large bowls, along with many dishes, yet still doesn’t feel full.
Answer
Disease Analysis: Hello, this is a condition caused by brain atrophy. Pay attention to timely control of high blood pressure if present, and also pay attention to a low-salt, low-sugar, low-fat, and low-cholesterol diet in daily life. Actively control the viscosity of blood and try hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as well as nutritional treatment for the brain nerves for a period of time to observe the results.
