However, in the diet of the elderly, it seems to be simpler than that of the young. On the one hand, because the elderly reach a certain age, their organs are degraded, their mouths are not good, they can't chew hard things, and they usually like to drink porridge, rice, vegetables and steamed bread.
However, I suggest that you change this concept from today, especially in the middle-aged and elderly people. Even if you eat staple food, you should eat less porridge, rice and white steamed bread. Although this kind of food is easy to digest, its starch content is relatively high, so it is easy to improve the postprandial blood sugar level and prevent diabetic diseases.
Moreover, with the growth of age, if the daily diet is too simple and light, and this eating habit is maintained for a long time, it will not be able to meet the body's demand for nutrition, which will more easily lead to malnutrition and damage the body due to lack of nutrition.
So remind middle-aged and elderly people not to always eat porridge, rice and white steamed bread. You can try to eat the following foods, which are not only cheap and nutritious, but also helpful to human health.
1 fish:
Fish is a kind of meat food that is often eaten in life. Compared with meat food such as pork, fish is very low in fat and calories, so you don't have to worry about getting fat if you eat too much.
Moreover, fish contains a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, DHA, EPA and other nutrients, which is more conducive to protecting cardiovascular health. Moreover, the fish is fresh and tender, which is more conducive to digestion and absorption and will not increase the gastrointestinal burden of the elderly.
Eating more fish meat, which contains a variety of nutrients, can also help maintain the brain activity of the elderly, delay the deterioration of brain function, and prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease on the one hand.
2 black food:
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black food enters the kidney, which has the effects of nourishing the kidney and moistening the lungs, moistening the intestines and relaxing bowels, and tonifying the middle energizer and benefiting qi.
Compared with other foods, black food contains a lot of anthocyanins and polyphenols antioxidants, which can scavenge free radicals in the elderly and play an anti-oxidation and anti-aging role.
1, three meals are used quantitatively on time.
Remind middle-aged and elderly people that after a certain age, the amount of exercise will gradually decrease. If you don't pay attention to your eating habits, eating high-fat, high-greasy, high-calorie foods often will lead to obesity, increase your physical burden, and easily induce various chronic diseases.
Therefore, we should pay more attention to our diet, and we should not be as reckless and overeating as we were when we were young. I hope everyone can eat regularly and quantitatively, minimize fat intake in three meals, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, supplement nutrition and stay healthy.
2. Walk more and exercise more.
As the saying goes, life lies in exercise. Sticking to exercise in the future is more conducive to improving physical fitness, enhancing resistance and immunity, and reducing the risk of physical illness.
Through more exercise, you can also improve blood circulation, improve reproductive health and reduce the burden on your body. For the elderly, choosing suitable exercise according to their actual situation can also improve their physical fitness, enhance their cardiopulmonary function and help protect their health.
3. Keep a peaceful mind.
For middle-aged and elderly people, learning to control personal emotions, maintaining a peaceful and optimistic attitude, and facing life positively will help to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
4. Regular physical examination.
Remind middle-aged and elderly people to pay attention to physical examination in their daily lives and develop the good habit of regular physical examination.
You can also know the potential causes in the body in time, understand the health status of the body, and achieve early detection, early prevention and early treatment in the early stage of disease discovery, thus strangling the disease in the early stage of onset.
