However, we should also understand that among many factors that affect life span, diet is the most critical, and sometimes adjusting diet structure is more beneficial to health than exercise. Therefore, if you want to improve your immunity and have a strong body, you may wish to work hard on your diet first.
Middle-aged and elderly people can learn from the "three principles of diet"
"Rain and dew are stained" to ensure the richness of ingredients.
Everyone has his favorite food. These foods are not necessarily the most nutritious and healthy, but they are hard to give up. But we must also understand that appetite cannot overcome our reason. Once we are "dominated" by appetite, it is easy to fall into the "trap" of food and become the "puppet" of food.
No matter what kind of food we face, we should always keep in mind the principle of "just taste a little" and not eat too much, even recognized healthy foods, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, nuts and bean products. Eating too much will lead to unbalanced nutrition and be bad for your health. In short, everyone should pay attention to the diversity of ingredients in their daily diet, and try to be "rain and dew" and have comprehensive nutrition.
Don't overeat.
I believe everyone knows that weight management is also a major event in old age. How many middle-aged and elderly people fall into the "trap" of chronic diseases because of being overweight, and how many people worry about the rise of blood sugar, blood lipid and blood pressure all day? In fact, at a certain age, we should all control our weight reasonably, and we should not let ourselves eat and drink, which will cause our weight to skyrocket.
But it is not recommended that you lose weight in an inappropriate way, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. With the increase of age, the metabolism of human body decreases, and the weight may indeed show an obvious upward trend, but it can be controlled by adjusting the diet structure and strengthening exercise. I hope you don't blindly lose weight through extreme weight loss methods, especially dieting.
The human body needs adequate nutrition to ensure its normal operation. Although dieting is the fastest way to lose weight, it is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients by various organs, and may even cause organ failure over time. I hope you will be vigilant.
Eat well, eat less.
Nowadays, many elderly people don't care much about the calories in their diet, because being fat or thin doesn't matter to them anymore. In a limited life, it seems to be the right choice to try more fresh food and eat more food you like. However, no matter how old we are, we can't exchange health for excitement. Maybe eating some novel foods will make people feel fresh, but what are the benefits to health?
Some friends think that keeping in good health means eating well, eating some precious ingredients all day, and finally finding that there is no sign of improvement in physical fitness. In fact, at a certain age, our digestion and absorption system is not so strong, and the nutrients we ingest cannot be fully and effectively utilized. Instead of eating and drinking, it will not only burden the stomach but also be absorbed by the body. It is best to eat and drink well on the premise of controlling the total intake.
Conclusion: In terms of health preservation, we should pay attention to the importance of diet, adhere to a balanced diet and have comprehensive nutrition, but don't forget the influence of living habits on human health. If middle-aged and elderly people can work and rest regularly, go to bed early and get up early, reduce the number of staying up late, strengthen physical exercise and avoid sedentary, it may be more beneficial to their health.
