Question

Why elderly persons need low-fat and high-fiber foods along with moderate exercise?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Some older people may be at risk of malnutrition from restricting their food intake, and eat too few nutrients and kilojoules for their age.
• Eat plenty of fibre and drink plenty of fluids .
• Water is essential for hydration, digestion and blood volume, but now you’re older, you may not feel as thirsty as you once did, even when your body needs fluids.

Answer 2

Answer:

The fibre from these helps to prevent constipation which reduces the risk of some common disorders in the intestine. Remember to increase fibre slowly as bowel discomfort, flatulence and distension may occur if consumed in large quantities, or if the amount of fibre eaten is increased very rapidly.
