What are some common health concerns for senior citizens?

I received this in a WhatsApp forward and felt it should be widely shared.

The following information is passed on by a doctor who is still active in the medical field. It is worth referencing, especially if you or your relatives or friends have become elderly.

Do not speak or turn your head when there is food or water in your mouth.

3. Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth or while chewing. If the water stays in the mouth for too long, it will flow into the trachea and cause choking if you are not careful.

Stop everything and concentrate on drinking water carefully and slowly.

If there are elderly people at home.

2. Please eat thick soup instead of clear soup. Clear soup flows quickly, and it is easy to choke when breathing is not smooth.
