How much weight control is appropriate for the elderly after 60 years old?
Most elderly people will be obese, mainly because of the growth of age, the ability of the stomach and intestines will decline, and the food they usually eat will not be released, which will lead to accumulation, increase body fat and lead to obesity. Once overweight, there will be many health problems, which will easily lead to the "three highs" problem, increase the burden on liver and kidney, and bone problems will come to you, so we should pay attention to controlling weight. So what kind of weight is appropriate for this kind of people?
For people over 60 years old, we take the height1.7m as an example. According to the international standard weight calculation, the height MINUS 105 will get the value of 65 kg. Our weight has a floating range, up and down by five kilograms, which means 60 to 70 kilograms is more suitable.
We can also calculate whether the weight exceeds the standard according to the body mass index value, that is, divide the weight (kg) by the square of the height (m) and you will get a value. If it is between 18.5 and 23.9, it is considered as normal weight. Of course, due to the older age, it can be appropriately expanded, which can be between 20.5 and 25.9. If the old man weighs 70kg and his height is1.7m, his body mass index is 24.22. For the elderly, this weight is just right.
If you exceed this range, you should pay attention to controlling your weight in time, and if you are underweight, you should also pay attention to conditioning. As I said just now, a thousand dollars can't buy old and thin. Is it necessarily good to be thin? The answer is wrong. If the elderly have been too thin, the impact on health will be even greater.
If you are too thin, you are prone to malnutrition. For the elderly, the body's absorption capacity has declined. If it is still malnourished, the body's immunity will decline, and it will be easily attacked by external germs, resulting in some infectious problems. And because it is too thin, the bone loss is fast, and the probability of bone problems will increase. So being too thin is definitely good, and being moderate is best.
For the elderly, it is actually better to eat a little meat, and such people will live longer than those who are too thin. It can be seen that most elderly people who live long are slightly fat. Therefore, when you get old, you should pay attention to nutritional supplements, eat whatever you should, and pay attention to the intake of protein and calcium, but you should control the amount and not eat too much. Obesity is bad.
The body of old people is different from that of young people, so the standard of weight will be different and relaxed. It is suggested that the elderly should not be too thin, which is not good for their health. Money is hard to buy old and thin. The meaning of this sentence is not to keep you slim, but to pay attention to control your weight and not to be too fat, so just keep symmetry in your daily life.
