2. It is also key for the elderly to control their intake of taboo foods during the New Year. If there is a special disease, some foods cannot be eaten, or cannot be eaten in large amounts. For example, people with diabetes cannot eat cakes. Even during the Chinese New Year, patients with high blood pressure must not forget the doctor's instructions.

Although fresh food is nutritious, it is best to only cook one meal at a time, and pay attention to hygiene and safety to prevent diseases from entering through the mouth.

Of course, water can also promote the excretion of waste in the body, which is helpful in the prevention and treatment of kidney and urinary tract stones.
