Abstract

Gastronomy is a form of cultural expression. Arab cuisine arrived in Brazil in the 19th century through Arab immigrants from Syria and Lebanon. Based on the current definition of health, it is understood that the elderly's food and cooking techniques play a large role in their well-being, and with this gerontology tends to use it as a space of socialization and expression during the age. The Arab people have in their gastronomy a strong family attachment and a desire to conserve their traditional culture, since their recipes are very old and preserved in their original form, thus establishing through their eating habits, the importance of family life, valuing the culinary heritage of children, parents and grandparents. The objective of this article is to identify the propagation of Arab gastronomy and its relation with the health of the elderly immigrants, mainly in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
