Let's settle an account first on the question of whether to eat dinner or not. Three meals a day, breakfast is eaten at seven or eight in the morning. After dinner at this time, people will have lunch around noon 12. The interval between these two meals is four or five hours. The food we eat takes four to five hours to digest.
So this means that no matter how much food you eat, it will be digested after four or five hours. So if you eat at 12 noon and then don't eat at night, it actually means that your body is already in an empty state at 5 or 6 pm.
And if you don't eat dinner at night, that is, from five or six o'clock in the afternoon to six or seven o'clock the next morning, your stomach will be empty for about twelve hours. In this case, the stomach will secrete too much gastric acid, which will do great harm to the stomach and intestines after a long time.
In the whole people? Lose weight? The era of? Money is hard to buy old and thin? This statement has a good market.
In fact, clinical medical experts believe that there are standards to measure the obesity of the elderly. Only by maintaining an ideal weight can the elderly improve their physical resistance, avoid wrestling and reduce the risk of fracture. So, how do the elderly calculate their standard weight?
The simple formula for calculating the standard weight is male (kg) = height (cm)-105; Female (kg) = height (cm)- 100. It is considered normal that the actual weight fluctuates within the range of 10% of the standard weight.
Another method is to calculate the body mass index: body mass index = weight (kg)/ height (m) squared. If the obtained BMI value is between 18.5 ~ 23.9, the weight is qualified; If the body mass index is between 24 and 27.9, it means overweight.
Some people think? Thin old people live longer? This view is not entirely correct.
Epidemiological studies have found that the mortality rate of people with lower weight than normal range is much higher than that of people with normal weight.
If a person is underweight, it means that there is little energy reserve. Once the body is hit hard, such as trauma, infectious diseases, chronic wasting diseases, etc., its own fat and muscle protein will be decomposed in large quantities, thus affecting the immune function and visceral function of the body.
Senile emaciation may have some pathological reasons, such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, digestive tract tumor, tuberculosis, depression and so on.
When the elderly lose weight suddenly or gradually and the nutritional intake is insufficient, it is best to go to the hospital for further examination and find out the reasons.
The emaciated elderly should actively carry out nutritional intervention, increase the calorie and protein supply in the diet, ensure sufficient staple food and animal food, such as fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc., and eat some bean products, fruits and vegetables on the basis of a small, multi-meal and soft balanced diet. Under the guidance of a nutritionist, supplement some nutritional preparations.
Encourage the elderly to participate in outdoor activities, carry out appropriate resistance training, maintain appropriate weight, and delay muscle attenuation and physical function decline.
Old people don't have to pursue it deliberately? Old and thin? Being thin doesn't mean? Shou? . What old people often say? Hunger can cure all diseases without dinner? This is also unscientific, but harmful to the body.
