Eating meat for tonic in winter, the elderly "eat" stomach stones.
The weather is cold, and many people want to eat meat for tonic. Uncle Chen thought the same thing, so he bought a lot of beef and mutton at home, ate every meal, and drank while eating meat, making him feel comfortable. In this way, after a few days, Uncle Chen felt something was wrong with his stomach, as if there was a big stone in it, which was very heavy, and he felt bloated after eating a little meat. In desperation, the family had to take him to the hospital for examination.
It turned out that Uncle Chen had eaten too much meat recently, and actually got gastrolithiasis. He had stomach surgery himself, and the function of his stomach was different from that of ordinary people. After a few days of mending, his stomach was overwhelmed and he finally went on strike. Old people who have not had surgery should also pay attention to the decline of gastrointestinal digestion ability of the elderly. Too much meat intake is not easy to digest, which may lead to serious obstruction.
The old man has been a vegetarian for a long time and walks like stepping on cotton.
Grandma Xu doesn't like greasy fishy smell, because she had gallbladder and stomach surgery, so she has been a vegetarian for the past year. Recently, however, Grandma Xu has not felt well and her legs are weak. If no one helps her, she will fall and feel as soft as walking on cotton.
Grandma Xu's mood is also affected because of her physical discomfort. Every time it's time to eat, she is very anxious and nervous. After the doctor diagnosed her, she found that Grandma Xu was not only anaemic, sarcopenia and mild depression, but also suffered from spinal nerve injury. In the following days, with the help of the doctor, Grandma Xu took medicine on time every day, reasonably matched vegetarian food and carried out proper rehabilitation exercise. Finally, she slowly returned to normal, and her legs could walk effectively.
When people are old, should they eat more meat or be vegetarian?
The answer is neither. From the above two cases, it can be seen that whether the elderly eat meat or are vegetarian, they are biased and will have adverse effects in the long run. Eating too much meat can easily lead to obesity, affect blood lipids and blood sugar, and increase the burden on the stomach. However, eating too much vegetarian food can also lead to insufficient nutrition and problems in bones, nerves and immunity.
Only a healthy diet and balanced nutrition can make the elderly live a happy life and be healthy.
A healthy diet helps to keep healthy and will not make the elderly too fat or too thin, because both extreme body types will increase the mortality rate. In addition, obese elderly people have a lot of inconvenience in life, easy to breathe, easy to get tired, and clothes don't fit well.
A healthy diet will make the elderly feel happy, such as crispy vegetables, mellow milk and sweet and juicy fruit, which can all bring enjoyment of taste and smell. Eating greasy and fried food is delicious at first, but after a long time, it will easily lead to nausea, nausea and even depression.
Older people who eat a healthier diet get a variety of nutritional supplements, have a low probability of suffering from chronic diseases, and are not prone to anemia and skin diseases. Their immunity will be higher and their risk of cancer will be lower.
Research: Healthy eating after 60 years old may prolong life expectancy by 8 years.
A person's eating habits are developed from childhood and are not easy to change later. Norwegian research shows that if you can stick to a healthy diet at the age of 20, your life expectancy can be increased by 10 years.
So, if you are over 60 years old now, is it too late to adjust your diet? No, it's not too late to optimize your diet from now on. Eat less red meat and super-processed food, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, dairy products and grains, or you can prolong your life for 8 years.
Although it is late to adjust the diet, the benefits are not much different, so it is not too late to adjust from now on.
However, a few people feel that their eating habits have lasted for a lifetime, and it is too difficult to change them now. In fact, there is no need to make big changes, such as eating less. I used to be full, but now I eat less. I stop when I am eight. For example, you can also eat braised pork, but when you are in cook the meat, you can add some Chinese cabbage and vermicelli to reduce the amount of oil, salt and sugar.
In addition, don't forget some dietary details, such as don't eat hot or cold, chew every bite slowly, don't swallow dates, don't eat or go on a diet while walking. It's good to get rid of these bad habits.
