Keep your mouth shut when you're older! Eat 3 less, eat 4 more, don't take it seriously, and benefit early. Hello, everyone. I am Chef Jiang Yizhou. It's time to share your meal with you again, are you ready?
With the continuous improvement of living standards, more and more middle-aged and elderly friends know how to maintain health! Especially for middle-aged and elderly friends who have retired, three meals a day have become a major event in daily life. Because I usually don't have much work, I naturally want to make different dishes every day to relieve my hunger. But did you know? Not all foods are suitable for older people.
Especially for the elderly who have passed the age of 50, the various "parts" of the body have been used for most of their lives. Eating a variety of foods, there will definitely be damage. Although there is nothing wrong with it on the surface, either this pain or that pain is revealed? Just like my mother-in-law, I gave birth to two children, which not always tell my daughter-in-law when I come home that my waist hurts when it rains. Obviously, when giving birth to a child, I did not make a good confinement.
In addition to paying attention to more rest, also remember to keep your mouth shut. Eat 3 less and eat 4 more in daily life, don't take it seriously. Early knowledge and early benefit, not much to say. Next, I will share the dry goods with you directly.
When you are older, you must keep your mouth shut, and you must eat less of these 3 things
Sample 1: Leftovers
Many middle-aged and elderly friends know how to live frugally! Meals that cannot be eaten on the same day are often refrigerated in the refrigerator and eaten directly the next day. Although it is a good habit to live frugally, these leftovers contain a high level of nitrite. Eating too much is not only not good for our body, but it is also easy for our body's immunity to decline. Therefore, eat less leftovers.
Sample 2: Pickled pickles
In our north, the most common pickled pickles are knotty pickles and kelp shreds. This pickled pickle is simple and easy to make, but it is appetizing. But this kind of meal contains more sodium, and the vitamins and nutrients are basically gone. So it is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends to eat.
Category 3: Ingredients for high purines
High-purine ingredients such as offal from animals, seafood, and beer should be eaten sparingly or at no time. Knowledgeable friends know that high purine ingredients are easy to cause gout in our body, and knees and joints will be particularly painful. Therefore, this kind of ingredient should also be eaten less or not.
When you are older, you should eat more of these 4 things
First: ingredients with high protein content
Protein is known as the "element of life" and is an indispensable nutrient for the human body. So we eat at home, but don't forget to eat more protein-rich ingredients. For example, eggs, milk, asparagus and other common ingredients, everyone must eat more or often.
2nd: Ingredients with a relatively high iron content
Spinach, coriander, cabbage and other ingredients with high iron content must be eaten more. Iron can prevent iron deficiency anemia, once the human body is short of iron, it is easy to lead to mental deficiency, easy fatigue, so this trace element must not be less.
