Some vegetables are two-sided.
In the vegetable world, they have two sides: they play the role of cooking and wear the mask of staple food at the same time. In addition to the well-known potatoes and sweet potatoes, it also includes yam, pumpkin and carrot.
Yam: The calories of yam are less than half that of rice with the same weight. Tubers contain a lot of mannan and mucopolysaccharide, which will not only produce satiety when swollen with water, but also reduce the amount of staple food. Mucopolysaccharide can protect the stomach wall under the action of pepsin, thus strengthening the spleen and stomach and helping digestion.
Pumpkin: 100 grams of pumpkin has only 22 calories, and is rich in dietary fiber, which can resist hunger and help you as a substitute for staple food. Low in sugar, sodium, calcium and potassium, especially suitable for the elderly with diabetes, hypertension and osteoporosis.

Most of basal metabolism comes from muscle activity. The higher the proportion of muscle in the body, the more vigorous the metabolism will be. Strength exercises such as dumbbells and tension bands, and aerobic exercises such as mountaineering and swimming are all good ways to practice muscles.

Sleeping too hard will make you tired.
Some elderly friends are used to sleeping in warm clothes or even sweaters in cold weather, especially taking a nap. In fact, this is not healthy.
When people sleep, the number of heartbeats decreases, and the reflex movement and tension of muscles weaken. If people lie down with clothes, or sleep with too many clothes, it will hinder the normal "breathing" of the skin and the evaporation of sweat, resulting in a decrease in body surface heat. Sleeping is not only more tiring, but also easy to catch a cold. Sleeping while undressing can quickly eliminate fatigue and give various organs of the body a good rest.
