With the growth of age, many people are afraid to eat meat, especially those who are found to have three highs. It is likely that they won't eat a bite of meat and go vegetarian directly.
But vegetarianism may not really contribute to health, because only vegetarianism will lead to the nutritional value needed by the body, and long-term insufficient intake may also affect the normal operation of various organs.
Although the doctor advised everyone to have a light diet, it didn't mean not to eat a bite of meat, but suggested that everyone should mix meat and vegetables and have a balanced nutrition, which would help to keep fit better.
The older you get, the more you should eat meat.
If people are old, then all the organs of the body begin to age gradually, first of all, our intestines and stomach, so many elderly people don't like eating meat very much.
But if you don't eat meat, it may also lead to malnutrition, which will increase the risk of illness in the long run. Older people who are vegetarian for a long time are likely to face the following problems. I hope everyone must be vigilant.
If you don't eat meat for a long time, you will face three problems:
1, iron deficiency anemia
If the intake of meat is gradually reduced, iron will gradually decrease, and the gastrointestinal function of middle-aged and elderly people will be relatively weak, which will reduce the respiratory efficiency of the whole person. Long-term vegetarianism is more likely to lead to iron deficiency anemia.
Anemia will reduce the whole person's immunity, easy infection, poor digestion, poor cold resistance and so on, which is not conducive to our health, so people who don't like meat are not conducive to their health.
2, arteriosclerosis
Many people will suffer from arteriosclerosis after long-term vegetarianism. This is because not eating meat for a long time can easily lead to malnutrition. Lack of vitamin B 12 in the body will lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, which is one of the risks of various vascular diseases.
3, muscle attenuation disease
The occurrence of muscular dystrophy will lead to the decline of skeletal muscle quality, muscle function and muscle strength in the body. After 50 years old, the annual muscle loss is about 1%~2%.
If sarcomas are reduced to more than 30%, the normal function of muscles will be affected, and eventually it is likely to develop into weakness.
Therefore, not eating meat for a long time is not a healthy choice, and eating it for a long time may increase the risk of illness. I hope everyone must treat it correctly. In addition, it is recommended to choose a healthy one when eating meat.
Please bring these two kinds of meat to the table after you are 50 years old.
1, fish
Fish can be eaten often. Fish is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, low in fat and easy to digest. After the age of 50, people's digestive function gradually declines. Fish can be eaten open, which helps to protect blood vessels and improve brain activity.
People after the age of 50 are prone to bone loss. At this time, eating more fish will also help to supplement the needed calcium, help the bones to be strong, and prevent the direction of osteoporosis to some extent.
2. Chicken
When it comes to nourishing food, many people think of chicken soup. In fact, chicken is a kind of meat with very high nutritional value. Different parts of chicken have different nutrients. If you want to stabilize blood lipids and keep healthy, you can eat more chicken breast with low fat content and high protein content.
During the period of losing weight, people also suggest eating more chicken breast to absorb protein, which helps to enhance muscle content. After the age of 50, people can often eat chicken breast, but of course they should also have a balanced nutrition.
People over the age of 50 are more likely to increase the risk of various diseases, so you must pay more attention when choosing food. Meat food must be light. For fried, barbecued and processed meat products, I hope everyone will be blacklisted quickly.
Meat food should be light, and eating more light meat food helps to keep fit. Of course, balanced nutrition helps to take better care of the body. I hope everyone must be vigilant and don't make jokes about health.
