Nowadays, more and more chronic diseases are directly or indirectly related to obesity. Therefore, more and more people begin to pay attention to the topic of "losing weight", and some elderly people also try to lose weight, thinking that this can effectively prevent or reduce some diseases of the elderly. So, for the elderly, is it that the more you lose weight, the healthier your body will be? In fact, the fact may not be what we think. Sometimes losing weight is good for your health, but it is also grouped. For the elderly, losing weight rashly may bring these three hazards to the body.

1. Losing weight blindly will lead to metabolic disorder.

Because people reach a certain age, the metabolic rate of the body will also show a downward trend, so at this time, all aspects of body metabolism will not be affected. For example, in order to lose weight, many elderly people will try not to eat breakfast, or start to reduce their food intake at night. Although these behaviors can reduce weight to a certain extent, on the other hand, they also affect the metabolism of the stomach, especially the secretion of some hormones will fluctuate greatly because of food changes. Some of these hormones will also affect the normal activities of organs, so it is very uneconomical to have a negative impact on the body just because of the reduction of food.

2. Blind weight loss can cause hypoglycemia.

Because the physical quality of the elderly is declining in all aspects, they can't lose weight and keep fit by exercising like young people. For this reason, the elderly usually control their food intake, but this will bring other negative effects to the body, especially when the food supply is insufficient, hypoglycemia will occur, which will have a more serious impact on the blood pressure and organ operation of the body. The cardiovascular system of the elderly is not very good, so it is undoubtedly "worse."

Lose weight blindly, and you may get fatter and fatter.

The really healthy way to lose weight still depends on exercise. It is not enough to rely solely on diet control, because when the body ingests food, even if the intake is insufficient, some substances in the body will be transformed. So a full meal and a hungry meal will reduce your weight, which is very unfavorable to your health. Therefore, the elderly can enjoy a healthy life, but they should also grasp the correct way.
