When the weather is hot, the intestines and stomach of the elderly and children are fragile, prone to abdominal distension, abdominal pain, indigestion and other symptoms, affecting their health. At this time, we must pay attention to diet, do not eat cold and greasy food, do not eat spicy and stimulating food, and do not eat food that is not fresh and close to decay, otherwise it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and make gastrointestinal diseases high.

First, no cold drinks.

When the weather is hot, old people and children can't eat cold drinks, especially ice cream, ice cream and iced drinks, and iced watermelons. Although these foods can make the elderly and children feel cool in summer, they can prevent heatstroke and cool down, but they will cause damage to the intestines and stomach of the elderly and children, easily increase their gastrointestinal burden, cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and easily lead to high incidence of abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Second, you can't eat cold and greasy food.

Stay away from cold and greasy food, because the intestines and stomach of the elderly and children are fragile in hot weather. If you eat cold and greasy food, it will increase the burden on the stomach, and these foods are not easy to be digested and absorbed by the body, and it will also make the body absorb too many cold ingredients, which will easily lead to indigestion and abdominal pain, further reducing the gastrointestinal function, which is not conducive to gastrointestinal health.

Third, spicy food.

Spicy food can stimulate people's gastrointestinal mucosa and easily reduce gastrointestinal function. When the weather is hot, the gastrointestinal function of the elderly and children is fragile, so they can't eat these spicy foods, otherwise it will damage the gastrointestinal function and easily lead to gastric ulcer and gastritis, stomach pain will also be high, and the function of the digestive system will be seriously affected.

Fourth, stale food.

When the weather is hot, the elderly and children can't eat those stale foods because their stomachs are weak, especially when they are close to decay and deterioration. They should stay away from the leftovers overnight, because some bacteria and viruses will breed in these foods, which will cause damage to gastrointestinal mucosa after eating, which will easily lead to gastrointestinal inflammation, abdominal pain and diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
