Many elderly people begin to appear brown spots on their faces or the back of their hands. These are called senile plaques. Age spots generally begin to appear around the age of 50, especially when the body begins to gain weight or women enter menopause.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root causes of senile plaque are lung qi deficiency, insufficient health care qi and blood, and skin malnutrition. Modern medicine believes that senile plaque is mainly due to the weakening of cellular metabolic function of the elderly. When there is too much fat in the diet, it is easy to be oxidized and brown pigment appears. This pigment is a waste that cells themselves cannot discharge. It is deposited on the cell body, accelerating the aging of cells, thus forming senile plaques.
In order to prevent the formation of senile plaque, we should first adjust the fat content in food so that the fat intake accounts for 25% ~ 50% of the total calories of human body.
