        Due to the need of body function decline and to prevent chronic disease, the elderly have more demands for food, in the daily diet should pay special attention to the following several aspects. 
 
        Dairy vague 
 
        Osteoporosis will bring a lot of pain for the life of old people, and getting enough calcium can effectively slow bone loss. According to the survey, the old man around 500 mg of calcium intake in each every day, is only half the recommended. Milk, yogurt and other dairy products is recognized as A filling calcium, but also can increase the intake of vitamin D, vitamin A, is conducive to the old bone health. But most people do not have the habit of drinking milk in China, especially in the elderly, some people also give up dairy for lactose intolerance. As a result, old people should be aware of the importance of the intake of dairy products, adhere to the consumption of dairy products. 
 
        Draft product don't bother 
 
        Old people should eat more fish, shrimp and so on is rich in high quality protein, and low fat food. In Chinese residents' dietary guidelines also advocate the residents should improve the aquatic product intake. But not cumbersome due to the cooking method, eating habits and the influence of the high price factor, in recent years, Chinese residents aquatic products consumption increase is not obvious. It is worth mentioning that some deep sea aquatic products are rich in omega-3, this kind of material has been shown to prevent disease of heart head blood-vessel, slow attenuation good cognitive function in elderly. According to the survey, most of the elderly in China omega-3 intake haven't reached the world health organization recommended intake lower limit the scope of the half. As a result, old people should be encouraged to understand the health effects of aquatic products, familiar with the appropriate cooking methods, increase the consumption of aquatic products. 
 
        Eat staple food not only the pursuit of taste 
 
        With the improvement of economic level, such as white rice, white flour plays a dominant position in people's staple food, and grains food consumption is decreased significantly. According to the survey, the urban elderly residents grain consumption was only one over ten of the meters, face, some rural elderly grain consumption is relatively high, but also fell very obvious in recent years. For digestive function impairment of the elderly, white rice, white flour, although the taste is good, easy to digest absorb, but dietary fiber content decreased significantly, and lost a lot of micronutrients. Millet, corn, brown rice, oats and other coarse grains contain high dietary fiber, also saved more trace nutrients, to control the blood fat, blood pressure, prevent constipation. Therefore, the elderly should often eat coarse cereals in the daily diet. 
 
        Refused to eggs and meat is not desirable 
 
        Significantly lower protein synthesis ability, efficiency for the elderly, and appetite is smaller, so you need to eat more high protein. Animal food amino acid composition close to the body, especially the high utilization efficiency of egg protein, a variety of vitamins, iron, zinc and many other trace elements content is rich and more easily absorbed. But many older people worried about the intake of cholesterol and try not to touch the eggs food, also dare not eat meat. This can cause lack of high quality protein intake, the body becomes weak, resistance to drop, easy to get sick. Actually, high cholesterol foods like eggs also contain lecithin health ingredients such as softening blood vessels. Study abroad, even to eat an egg a day on average, will not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the elderly should consume a certain amount of eggs in their diet food. 
 
        Salt and salted to eat less 
 
        The main composition of salt is sodium chloride. Normal physiological function need sodium, but our country residents salt consumption is much higher than the requirement of our body. Recession because of the taste function in the elderly, often think of the food tasteless, soy sauce, salt when cooking cooking so dosage is bigger. Do this while the food more delicious, but it is very adverse to control blood pressure. Suggest that the elderly to eat more fresh vegetables, eat less salt, less eat salted.
