Elderly people should not eat dinner too late

After the human body enters old age, its digestive function of food declines. The old man only finishes his meal at seven or eight o'clock, and his night life is relatively small. He goes to bed around ninety o'clock to rest. It takes one or two hours to fully digest the food. After going to bed, the old man will feel symptoms such as bloated stomach and chest congestion. Sometimes water is digested quickly and he needs to get up two or three times at night, so his sleep will naturally not be good.

The elderly must finish their dinner before 7 o'clock, so that they can use the time after dinner to take a walk and move around to allow the food to be digested more. As for having a reunion dinner with your children, you can consider moving the dinner time earlier during the weekend break, so that you can enjoy the family affection without affecting your health.

Eating dinner late can also lead to stones. Also because food contains a lot of calcium, part of it is absorbed by the body during the digestion process, and the other part is excreted in the urine. The peak time for calcium excretion by the human body is four to five hours after eating.

When you eat dinner late and the human body is asleep, the blood flow slows down and the calcium concentration in the blood also increases. If the calcium concentration in urine is too high, it will easily accumulate over time and become calcium stones.

There is a greater danger of eating too late, which can easily damage the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to healthy eating proportions, dinner should be small. But you don’t eat until seven or eight in the evening. People must be hungry at this time, and it is inevitable to eat too much. In addition, the old man cooked a sumptuous dinner for his children, including fish, meat and eggs. At this time, the invisible crisis was quietly hurting the old man's mind.
