What diseases can vegetarianism lead to in the elderly? 1, poor resistance
Long-term vegetarianism will lead to insufficient intake of protein and fat in the elderly, thus reducing the body's resistance and immunity. The anabolic function of the elderly decreases, which increases the catabolism of the body. If the diet is not well matched, it will cause malnutrition. If you don't take enough protein, it will reduce the immunoglobulin of the immune system, reduce the body's ability to resist pathogenic microorganisms, and be prone to influenza and diseases, thus increasing the risk of cancer.
2, it will still produce three highs.
Because the elderly who eat vegetarian food don't eat eggs and milk fish, they can only make up for it from sugar, salt and oil. If they eat too much, it will also lead to three highs. In addition, people who are vegetarian for a long time are prone to gallstones.

3. Constipation
If you eat cooked food for a long time, or only eat fruit, it will reduce gastrointestinal movement, and the food that transports fiber is easily absorbed by the intestine, making the large intestine drier and more prone to constipation. Boiling vegetables in water for a long time and then adding a small amount of oil can not only moisten intestines, but also reduce the lack of water-soluble vitamins.
How do the elderly eat correctly? Old people can't eat more than one fist every day. They can eat fish two or three times a week. They can choose to eat white meat, eat less red meat and eat at least two to four eggs a week. Only in this way can they meet the needs of human body for protein and ensure a balanced nutrition. For the elderly, we should choose soft food, which can reduce the loss of nutrition, and is suitable for the elderly, with strong chewing ability and conducive to food digestion.
