1, too thin and unhealthy

Thin middle-aged and elderly people are prone to malnutrition, and insufficient physical nutrition will make your immunity low. The immune function of the elderly is not as good as that of the young. Once they have a bad appetite and get sick, there is basically no excess fat consumption in their bodies, and their life expectancy will be affected.

2, obesity will lead to three highs.

Elderly people, Sangao is particularly easy to patronize. Obese people can lead to various heart, blood pressure and brain foundations. Although eating is a blessing, eating too greasy is not suitable for the dietary principles of the elderly. Overweight people need to exercise more to lose weight if they want to live a long and healthy life.
