What should old people eat if they want to live longer?

　　Eat early

　　It’s already dinner time and I have to eat. In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. is when the stomach meridian is in season, so it is best to arrange breakfast at this time. Traditional Chinese medicine also says that "if the stomach is not in harmony, you will have trouble sleeping", so try to have dinner as early as possible so as not to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

　　Eat less

　　The ancients often said, "If you eat eight percent full, you will have fewer illnesses and no worries." That means leaving one or two mouthfuls of food at each meal to give your stomach two percent space. "Huangdi Neijing" also advocates "eating in moderation". Australian research found that if humans remain hungry at all times, their life span will increase by 20% to 30%.

　　Eat warm

　　According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired diseases. The stomach likes dryness and hates cold, so avoid irritating cold food and eat warm food. However, it should be noted that warm food does not mean hot food. Frequently eating hot food can damage the esophagus and is one of the causes of esophageal cancer.
