If the diet is too simple, it will lead to malnutrition, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, because we all know that the physique of middle-aged and elderly people is not as good as that of young people. Under normal circumstances, the human body will lack some trace elements and minerals. For example, many elderly people suffer from osteoporosis because they lack vitamin D or calcium. Therefore, if the elderly want to be healthy, they really need to increase the variety of food. Usually, vitamins and minerals should be supplemented. Vitamins and minerals can help the elderly maintain their health, effectively prevent the occurrence of various chronic diseases, and also play a good role in inhibiting some diseases caused by serious lack of nutrition. So if the elderly want to supplement nutrition well, we need to pay attention to the following points in our daily life:

1 and try to eat a variety of foods within 4 hours.

From the health point of view, it will be very beneficial to our health if we can eat as many kinds of food as possible in four hours. According to the report of the World Health Organization, by far the healthiest way to eat is to eat at least 12 different foods per meal. Although this 12 food sounds a lot, there is not much to do.

2. keep your diet light

For middle-aged and elderly people, a light diet is very important. Usually eat more fruits and vegetables, while maintaining a variety of intake, and try to eat less foods high in oil, salt, sugar and fat. If these foods are ingested for a long time, they will directly lead to some diseases.

Don't eat too much every meal.

Eating too much is the root of all diseases. According to scientific research, human beings need to eat about 60 tons of food on average in their lifetime. In other words, if you finish eating first, you are likely to die first. So, don't eat too much at every meal. From a health point of view, it is just right to eat 7 or 8 minutes full every meal.
