Reminder: It may not be good for the elderly to have a simple diet

　　Facts have proven that eating too much light food will reduce people’s physical fitness. disease On the contrary, it is easier to invade the human body. Even the elderly with heart disease should not force themselves to have a light diet.

　　A survey shows that not all vegetarians healthy . There are 90 monks and nuns in a temple on a certain mountain who eat vegetarian food all year round. Most of their Buddhist disciples suffer from varying degrees of malnutrition. The main reason is that the intake of protein, fat, etc. in the diet is seriously insufficient and cannot meet the body's metabolic needs.

　　Non-vegetarian food is not the culprit of disease, but should be an important source of nutrients for the human body. Meat refers to chicken, duck, fish and meat. The human body requires a large amount of high-quality protein and essential fatty acids every day during growth, development and metabolism. Except for beans, which are rich in protein, vegetarian foods contain very little protein and have low nutritional value, making them difficult to be digested, absorbed and utilized by the human body.

　　Fish and meat, especially fish, are very rich in high-quality protein and a variety of unsaturated fatty acids that can lower blood lipids, as well as vitamins and trace elements that the human body is prone to lack. It can be seen that the main factor in human health is not whether to eat meat or vegetables, but what to eat and how much to eat, that is, whether the nutrients needed by the human body are complete and appropriate. “The equality of "income" and "expenditure" is one of the most basic principles of nutritional intake.

　　In 1987, my country conducted a systematic nutrition survey among more than 140,000 people in 28 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the country and found that the national diet was insufficient in protein, calcium, and riboflavin (vitamin B2). The best way to solve this problem is to eat a moderate amount of meat. Pay attention to the mix of meat and vegetables in your daily diet, and maintain an appropriate proportion, so that you can live a healthy and long life.

　　truly conform to elderly What should be the diet? Comprehensive foreign information shows that the vitamins, proteins, sugars, trace elements and other ingredients in this type of food must complement each other and have the characteristics of complex nutrition. A diet of meat and vegetables can increase the metabolism of the elderly, delay aging, promote the complete structure of tissue cells, and improve disease resistance.

　　The elderly can eat rice, flour or cereals as their main food. The dishes are mainly lean meat (about 50 grams every 1-2 days) and various vegetables ； Drink soy milk or milk every day, and eat fresh fish, shrimp, kelp, etc.
