What foods should the elderly avoid during health care?

　　4 kinds of foods in spring can easily cause poisoning

　　In addition to sugar cane, which is susceptible to poisoning in spring, as the temperature rises, some vegetables and fruits that are originally non-toxic or have very low toxicity may become toxic or have increased toxicity. For example: green beans (which must be fully heated), sprouted or immature potatoes cannot be eaten, mushrooms of unknown origin cannot be eaten, and fresh day lilies should be blanched in boiling water. Raw aquatic products such as oysters and raw salmon should also be eaten with caution. Be wary of four types of food poisoning in spring.

　　One is the sauerkraut and pickles pickled last winter.

　　As the temperature rises in spring, the nitrite content in sauerkraut and pickles will increase. Eating too much at one time or eating sauerkraut or pickles that are too dark or have gone bad can easily cause nitrite poisoning.

　　Second, sprouted potatoes

　　Many families stored some potatoes last winter. Some potatoes sprouted or the skin and flesh became discolored due to improper storage. Citizens are reminded that these potatoes, which are a pity to lose, must not be eaten. Because potatoes will produce a large amount of solanine after sprouting, which can easily cause food poisoning after eating.

　　Third, frozen seafood

　　Spring is the off-season for seafood production. If frozen seafood is stored for too long or improperly, it will easily go rancid, and the protein it contains will decompose, producing amines, soluble toxic proteins, indole, malodors and other toxic substances. Moreover, heating, boiling and boiling cannot completely destroy the toxicity of these toxic substances. Therefore, you should be careful when eating frozen seafood in spring, and spoiled seafood must not be eaten.

　　Fourth, poisonous wild vegetables

　　As the weather gets warmer, various wild vegetables continue to grow. Eating poisonous plants or improperly processed wild vegetables can easily cause poisoning, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Citizens are advised not to eat unfamiliar wild plants. If you develop symptoms due to eating wild plants, you should go to the hospital in time. Hospital See a doctor.

　　After food poisoning occurs, you should go to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying the optimal period of treatment. At the same time, you should report to the food supervision department in a timely manner, save all suspicious foods, and try to keep vomitus and excrement for inspection.

　　Tips

　　How to eat in spring to avoid poisoning?

　　What to eat in spring, food safety experts have some tips:

　　Be cautious when eating potatoes: If potatoes sprout a lot or have discolored skin and flesh, avoid eating them. When eating sprouted potatoes, you should dig out the sprouts and the meat around them and cook them before eating. Appropriate use of vinegar during cooking can also reduce solanine and avoid poisoning.

　　Be careful when cooking lentils: When cooking green beans and lentils, they must be cooked thoroughly (it is better to have no beany smell and a dark green color). At the same time, the lentils should not be left for a long time after being cooked to avoid increasing the nitrite content and causing hemoglobinemia after consumption.

　　Be careful when eating daylilies: When eating fresh daylilies, you should first blanch them in boiling water, soak them in water, and rinse them thoroughly to remove the colchicine contained in them. At the same time, it is not advisable to eat too much fresh daylily.

　　Be careful when eating sugar cane: it is strictly forbidden to eat sugar cane when it turns yellow or brown or has mildew spots. When buying sugar cane juice outside, you should choose fresh and freshly squeezed juice to prevent vendors from squeezing moldy sugar cane juice before selling it.

　　Be careful when eating wild vegetables: There are many types of wild vegetables. When people pick them in the wild, they should pick familiar wild vegetables and do not try to eat unknown wild vegetables to avoid food poisoning. Some wild vegetables contain photosensitive substances, which can cause "vegetative sun rash" if eaten and then exposed to the sun. Therefore, those who are allergic to plants and pollen should eat as little or no wild vegetables as possible. Do not bask in the sun after eating wild vegetables. If you find yourself having an allergic reaction, you should go to the hospital promptly.

　　Be careful when eating fish to prevent poisoning: saury and other fish can easily cause allergic symptoms. Fish with high histamine content are mainly green-skinned and red-fleshed seafood, such as mackerel, herring, sardines, saury, etc. This type of fish contains a higher amount of histidine. Under suitable conditions, under the action of some bacteria, the histidine in the fish meat undergoes decarboxylase action to produce histamine and histamine-like substance saury. Histamine poisoning is related to people's allergic constitution, and the poisoning manifests as local or systemic telangiectasia. The incubation period ranges from minutes to hours, and is characterized by rapid onset, mild symptoms, rapid recovery, and rare deaths. In addition, puffer fish contains tetrodotoxin and is prohibited for consumption.

　　In addition to food poisoning caused by eating poisonous wild vegetables, moldy sugar cane, sprouted potatoes, etc., as the temperature rises, the number of food poisoning cases caused by eating spoiled food has also increased significantly. People should pay attention to the preservation of food on a daily basis and avoid eating it once it goes bad.

　　What to do if you are poisoned, food safety experts tell you:

　　After food poisoning, if the symptoms are mild, you can drink more sugar and salt water to replenish the missing water. Those with severe symptoms should go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment.

　　Generally speaking, after food poisoning, simple methods can be used to induce vomiting (such as touching the throat with fingers, chopsticks and other objects to compress the base of the tongue) to reduce the absorption of toxic substances. Patients with moldy sugarcane poisoning should also pay attention to eliminating cerebral edema and improving cerebral blood circulation.
