Choose fresh fruit
Elderly people should prioritize eating fresh fruit and avoid eating damaged ones. Fresh fruits are not only more delicious but also rich in nutrients, good for health. If you notice signs of mold, rot or a strange smell, you should remove it immediately, do not eat it to avoid harming the liver and digestive system.
Control consumption
Because liver function in the elderly often declines, controlling the amount of fruit consumed is very important. You should only eat about 200-300 grams of fruit per day, do not eat too much at the same time. For example, with apples, eating only 1-2 fruits per day is enough. Eating too much fruit can increase the metabolic burden on the liver.
Limit processed fruits
Processed fruit products often contain a lot of sugar and additives, which can easily damage the liver. Elderly people should avoid using these foods, instead choose fresh fruit or homemade juice. When making juice, you should only use natural ingredients and not add too much sugar to maintain the best health benefits.
