"Lao Li, you moved really beautifully this time!" As soon as the words fell, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the completion of Lao Li's new residence. Lao Li is a well-known lawyer in the city, and he is busy with business, but he is always happy to entertain friends. This time he moved to a new house, and he specially invited a few old friends to come to his house for dinner.
Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content and talked about their lives. Lao Li's old friend, Dr. Zhang, is the director of the internal medicine department of the city's hospital, and he is usually very researched on health topics. While pouring tea for Dr. Zhang, Lao Li asked, "Dr. Zhang, summer is coming, and I always feel like I've lost my appetite lately, is there any good way?" ”
Dr. Zhang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Lao Li, you have a bad appetite, probably because the temperature is high in summer, and people's digestive function will be weakened." Recently, I have seen that some elderly people like to eat hawthorn as an appetizer, but in fact, hawthorn is not suitable for the elderly to eat more. ”
"Hawthorn is not suitable for the elderly?" Lao Li's friends showed surprised expressions, "We always thought that hawthorn was appetizing and quite healthy." ”
Dr. Zhang nodded, "Hawthorn does have an appetizing effect, but it contains a lot of organic acids and tannic acid, and the gastrointestinal function of the elderly is weak, and eating too much will cause excessive stomach acid and even lead to stomach ulcers." The diet of the elderly needs to be paid special attention to not just the taste of the moment. ”
Lao Li asked thoughtfully: "Then what fruits should we elderly people eat more?" ”
Dr. Zhang put down the teacup and said earnestly: "After the summer heat, the temperature gradually rises, and people tend to lose their appetite. I recommend three fruits that are both appetizing and good for the body. ”
Everyone listened attentively and looked forward to Dr. Zhang's answer.
Dr. Zhang smiled and said, "The first fruit is an apple. Apples are rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and aid digestion. Moreover, the pectin in apples can adsorb harmful substances in the intestines and play a role in detoxification. Eating an apple a day is not only appetizing, but also improves constipation. ”
Lao Li's wife, Mrs. Li, interjected: "I heard that apples also have a cholesterol-lowering effect, right? ”
Dr. Zhang nodded, "That's right, the soluble fiber in apples helps lower blood cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease. For the elderly, this is very beneficial. ”
Dr. Zhang paused and continued, "The second recommended fruit is watermelon. Watermelon contains a lot of water and vitamins, which can replenish water in the body and prevent heat stroke. The citrulline in watermelon also promotes blood circulation and improves heart function. However, watermelon is cold, so it is not advisable to eat too much at one time, especially for the elderly with weak gastrointestinal function, it is best to eat it in moderation. ”
Lao Li smiled: "It turns out that watermelon has so many benefits, I always thought it was just quenching my thirst." ”
Dr. Zhang smiled: "Many fruits have effects that we don't know about, as long as you eat them right, they are good for your body." ”
Dr Teo continued, "The third recommended fruit is bananas. Bananas are rich in potassium, which regulates the body's electrolyte balance and prevents electrolyte imbalances caused by excessive sweating. The fiber in bananas also helps to improve constipation. Bananas also promote serotonin production in the brain, which can help relieve stress and depression. ”
Lao Li's friends listened to it with relish and said that they wanted to eat more of these fruits. Dr. Zhang took the opportunity to tell a few specific case stories to further support his point.
"Not long ago, I saw an elderly man in his 70s who came to me with high stomach acid and constipation. After detailed inquiry, I found that he usually likes to eat hawthorn appetizers, but rarely eats other fruits. So I advised him to reduce his hawthorn intake and eat more apples, watermelon and bananas. After a few months, his stomach acid problem improved significantly and his constipation eased. ”
After listening to this story, everyone said that they wanted to change their eating habits. Lao Li sighed: "Doctor Zhang, you really benefited a lot from what you said!" In the future, we should pay more attention to our diet and eat more fruits that are good for the body. ”

"Healthy eating is not only about choosing the right fruits, but also about variety, balance. Only in this way can we truly achieve a long and healthy life. ”
Lao Li's friends agreed one after another, and everyone chatted happily, and time flew by. As the night wore on, so did the party.
Before everyone left, Lao Li smiled and asked, "Dr. Zhang, since fruits are so important to health, are there any fruits that we should especially avoid?" ”
Dr. Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "That's an interesting question. There is no fruit to avoid, but some are really not for everyone. For example, lychee, though
Sweet and delicious, but it is high in sugar, and it is easy to get angry if you eat too much, especially for diabetics, and it is necessary to control your intake. ”
Lao Li nodded, indicating that he understood. Dr. Zhang continued, "In general, although fruits are good, they should also be chosen according to the individual's physique and health status. The most important thing is to maintain a balanced and varied diet, so that you can truly achieve the purpose of health preservation. ”
Lao Li's friends expressed that they were taught, and everyone ended the happy evening in a burst of laughter.
Finally, Lao Li remembered a question: "Doctor Zhang, the fruits you just mentioned are all good for health, but I still have a question. What if someone doesn't like to eat fruit, or can't eat it for some reason? ”
Dr. Zhang smiled and replied, "That's a good question. In fact, in addition to fruits, we have many other foods that can be supplemented with vitamins and fiber. For example, vegetables, especially dark green leafy vegetables, are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. In addition, nuts, legumes, and whole grains are also good choices. The most important thing is to choose the right foods according to your physical condition to stay healthy. ”
Lao Li and his friends listened to Dr. Zhang's explanation and said that they benefited a lot. Everyone ended this evening full of health knowledge in laughter and looked forward to the next gathering.
