UNDERSTANDING THE ELDERLY


In this way this man when it comes to grandfather will not have any teeth.


UNDERSTANDING THE ELDERLY.

The second email I wrote it Fernanda from Guadalajara (Mexico). He speaks of his grandfather and his concern because it has the same appetite as before. He says he does not eat as when I was younger. He asks me what's wrong. They have taken to the doctor and you have not found any disease. It is very distressed and disturbed by this situation.

I answered in another email asking a series of questions to try to trace the origin of this lack of appetite.

At the end give the solution: the grandfather has few teeth. Therefore, it is not have no appetite but not having enough teeth can not chew properly and prefer to eat little. I would rather eat than the grandfather he can.

Once we know the reason my advice is clear: if the family has the economic possibility that the dentist will make a denture the problem is easily solved.

If the above is not possible because the family economy can not be fed to the grandparent with easily digestible foods with very little chewing. This will require use:

  • For the purée: cooked and shredded. You can cook food or make the steam. They can be vegetables, grains, legumes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. To grind you can use a blender, a mixer or a blender. If you have no electricity or appliances do not have these manually until a thick paste without pieces of food.
  • Soups: warm in winter and summer hot or cold.
  • The fruit and vegetable juices: better to make the time and drink them. If there is extra and keep it in the refrigerator lose their vitamins.
  • The vegetable broth: I will now summarize the essentials so you can use. You need these ingredients: onions, garlic, leeks, parsley, celery, artichokes and carrots. If you are environmentally better. Wash all products, chop it as small as you can cut them and bring them into a large saucepan. Add a liter or two of water (depending on the amount of ingredients to be taken) and cook over medium heat. When it begins to boil reduce heat to a minimum. After half an hour to simmer the whole substance of these natural products will be on the water. After cooling it is strained and the liquid can be stored in a bottle or a jar (preferably glass) and in the fridge to keep their properties. It is very important not to add salt to that detoxification is as powerful as possible (these foods and carry the appropriate amount of sodium and potassium in amounts balanced. Things of Nature). Take vegetable broth well as incoming and evening meal (1 cup) or as a nutritional supplement (2 glasses before breakfast, 2 glasses before eating, 15 minutes before and 2 glasses before dinner, 15 minutes ago) .
  • Yogurt: from nutrition hygienist advised not drink cow's milk. Neither older nor the second nor the first or anyone. Cow's milk is for calves (things of Nature). In another post I will explain in more detail. The yogurt is fermented cow's milk so that milk is no longer proper to become another food that it is healthier (every 2 to 3 days).
  •  Omelette and hard boiled eggs: protein foods are few and easy to chew.
  •  Proteins: if a grandparent is a vegetarian and you'll know where to get the protein: grains, vegetables and algae. If not a vegetarian, in addition to above, may also include tortillas and eggs and fish already mentioned that are also easy to chew. If I had to eat meat or you can cut to small pieces or shred it to make meatballs. The grinding can also include fish and eggs or meat only, whatever you prefer.

That is all.

Thank you for your query, Fernanda.
