Every time before I go out, I always ask the elderly at home if they have anything they want to eat, and buy some back. But every time I got the answer was, "No, there's no taste in my mouth, I don't want to eat anything."
I believe that many elderly people are like this, in addition to the meals of three meals a day, there are few things they want to eat, they feel that nothing is delicious, and it is not fragrant to eat. Excluding illness and some psychological emotional problems, objective analysis is that normal physiological changes.
When people reach old age, the mucous membrane in the mouth will slowly thicken, that is, a lot of white things on the tongue, the taste on the tongue will degenerate, so it is often felt that there is no taste in the mouth.
If you don't know what to eat for the elderly at home, it is recommended that you can try fruit and vegetable juice, which is delicious and nutritious. I have squeezed it a few times before for the elderly in the family to drink, and they all say that it is delicious and more appetizing.

Generally, the pumpkins often eaten at home are old pumpkins, very large ones, and that kind of pumpkin is also very delicious, but it is not suitable for the elderly, and the sugar content inside is too high.
