Four things for seniors to note when eating dumplings
Dumplings are a traditional and popular food, but there are a few things seniors should pay attention to when eating them.
First, it's not advisable to eat dumplings for dinner.
Seniors are less active in the evening and go to bed early. Their gastrointestinal motility is slow. The dumpling wrapper is made with unleavened dough, which is not easy to digest and can easily cause bloating and affect sleep in seniors.
Second, it's not advisable to eat dumplings with coarse fiber fillings.
Dumplings with fillings like wild vegetables, celery, or chives contain a lot of coarse fiber and take a long time to digest. Seniors with heart or stomach conditions should not eat too many, as indigestion can trigger a heart attack. It's best for seniors to eat dumplings with radish, cabbage, or egg fillings, as these are easier to digest.
Third, it's not advisable to eat pan-fried dumplings.
The wrapper of a pan-fried dumpling is dry and hard, and after being fried in oil, it becomes even harder to digest. It's best to steam leftover dumplings.
Fourth, it's not advisable to eat dumplings with undercooked fillings.
Some seniors undercook their dumplings, and the filling is still raw when they are taken out. This can easily cause indigestion, bloating, and gastrointestinal discomfort after eating.
