Jill and Henry consume a lot of carbohydrates. Why is this a common occurrence among the elderly population?

Question 2

What type of diet and lifestyle changes should be encouraged for a client with peptic ulcers?

Answer to Question 1

Carbohydrates are a cheaper item and provide a higher satiety value.

Answer to Question 2

A low-fat diet with a moderate amount protein is adequate. It should have vitamin and mineral supplements. If there has been any loss of blood associated with the condition, the protein should be increased to 1-1.5 g per kilogram of body weight. Spicy foods may be eaten as tolerated. Coffee, tea, and other caffeine-containing foods should be avoided, as they stimulate gastric secretions. Alcohol and medications with aspirin irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach. Cigarette smoking decreases the secretion of the pancreas enzymes that buffer the gastric acid in the duodenum. A well-balanced diet of three meals a day consisting of foods that do not irritate the client is generally recommended.
