In fact, after the age of 50, the human body will feel deeply about aging and have to accept it. Except that many actions can't be completed, after the age of 50, the digestive function of the human body will be greatly reduced, and various digestive problems will follow.
Therefore, after 50 years old, you need to adjust your eating habits. Many foods need to be taboo, and some eating habits need to be corrected. Otherwise, there will be problems in the digestive system and even pathological changes, which will affect the overall health.
When you are old, you should avoid eating properly: after 50 years old, the following four foods can be avoided.
1, leftovers
People over the age of 50 have experienced a period of material shortage before, so they cherish food more and are careful with everything. Typically, leftovers are not willing to throw away, and they continue to eat after heating the next day, even for a few days.
But if you can't eat well because of saving, it will not be worth the loss. Therefore, it is best not to eat leftovers.
Leftovers are easy to breed a large number of bacteria, leading to food deterioration, gastrointestinal diseases and even food poisoning. If you are afraid of waste, you can cook less and eat it all at once to avoid waste.
2, high-sugar food
After the age of 50, we should also avoid high-sugar foods. At this time, the metabolic capacity of the human body is obviously reduced. If the sugar intake is too high and cannot be metabolized in time, it will cause obesity and even lead to an increase in blood sugar, and diabetes will be found. Therefore, after the age of 50, eat as little high-sugar food as possible.
3. Pickled food
Cured meat, bacon, pickles, etc. They are all common foods on people's tableware, which taste better and are more popular. However, the content of nitrite in pickled food is relatively high, which is a carcinogen. After the age of 50, the human body's ability to decompose and excrete decreases, so it is necessary to eat less pickled food.
Pickles are all high-salt foods, and the intake of salt exceeds the standard, which is also very harmful to the body. So, be sure to eat less.
4. Various thick soups
Many people think that after 50, they should drink more soup to help digestion. Some people think that the thicker and whiter the soup, the more nutritious it is.
In fact, this view is wrong Soup helps digestion, which is right, especially drinking soup before meals has many benefits, but the thicker the soup, the better, the whiter the better. The reason why the soup is white is that the fat in the soup reacts with protein, but the nutrition content is not high and the fat content is high. If you drink this soup for a long time, it will not only have no health-preserving effect, but will be more prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition to the above foods, after the age of 50, you should also pay attention to the following points in your diet:
Pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables and balance nutrition.
In order to keep healthy, many people only eat vegetarian food after 50 years old, but some people are still big fish and big meat. In fact, both of these behaviors are wrong. After the age of 50, the best way to eat is to mix meat and vegetables to ensure a balanced nutrition. Under normal circumstances, it is best to keep the ratio of meat and vegetables at 4: 6. If people are already obese, it can be adjusted to 3: 7. And in the morning and evening, mainly vegetarian, try to eat less meat. It is best to eat meat at noon.
In addition, eat more fruits, milk, eggs and beans.
Drink light tea often.
Tea is a very healthy drink. Studies have shown that people who drink tea regularly reduce their risk of death by 25%. This is because tea contains a lot of "catechin", which is a high antioxidant, which helps to fight cell aging, accelerate fat metabolism, reduce accumulation, and help prevent obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition, tea polyphenols in tea can also help improve memory and improve the memory ability of middle-aged and elderly people, and the caffeine contained in it can refresh the mind.
Zengtian grains
Life is good now, and every day is refined food. However, eating too fine food for a long time is not good for your health. Therefore, we should consciously eat some coarse grains at ordinary times. Coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber and trace elements, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. Especially suitable for older people. However, it should be noted that the proportion of coarse grains should not be too high, otherwise it will increase the burden on the stomach.
