●解放日報報導，與年輕人相比，老人的消化功能降低，心血管系統及其他器官都會出現不同程度的老化，為了適應這些變化，老人在日常飲食中應注意以下10個方面：
1.飯菜要香 老年人的味覺、食欲較差，吃東西常覺得缺滋少味。所以，為老年人做菜尤其要注意色、香、味。
2.品質要好 老年人體內的代謝以分解代謝為主，需用較多的蛋白質來補償組織蛋白的消耗。因此要多吃些雞肉、魚肉、羊肉、牛肉、瘦豬肉以及豆製品，這些食品所含的蛋白質均屬優質蛋白，營養豐富，容易消化。
3.數量要少 研究表明，過分飽食對健康有害，老年人每餐應以七八分飽為宜，尤其是晚餐。
4.蔬菜要多 新鮮蔬菜不僅含有豐富的維生素C和礦物質，還有較多的纖維素，對保護心血管、防癌、防便秘都有重要作用。每天蔬菜的攝入量應不少於250克。
5.食物要雜 蛋白質、脂肪、糖、維生素、礦物質和水是人體必需的六大營養素，這些營養素廣泛存在於各種食物中。為平衡吸收營養，各種食物都要吃一點。如果條件允許，每天的主副食品應保持在10種左右。
6.菜肴要淡 吃得太鹹會增加心臟、腎臟的負擔，容易引起血壓增高。
7.飯菜要爛 老年人的牙齒常有鬆動和脫落，咀嚼肌變弱，消化液和消化?分泌量減少，胃腸消化功能降低。因此，飯菜要做得軟一些，爛一些。
8.水果要吃 水果中含有豐富的水溶性維生素和金屬微量元素，這些營養成分對於維持體液的酸鹼度平衡有很大的作用。
9.飲食要熱 老年人對寒冷的抵抗力差，如果經常吃冷食會引起胃壁血管收縮，供血減少，並反射性地引起其他內臟血循環量減少，不利健康。因此，老人的飲食應稍熱一些，以適口進食為宜。
10.吃得要慢 細嚼慢嚥能減輕胃腸負擔，促進消化。吃得慢還容易產生飽腹感，防止進食過多。（中新網）
