Are the rich not as healthy as the poor?

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people find that the incidence of many diseases is getting higher and higher. Hypertension, diabetes and stroke have become killers endangering the health of the elderly. "Three highs" has spread to almost all elderly people and become a common word known to women and children. And many diseases tend to be younger. People under the age of 50 had a stroke and began to take antihypertensive drugs at the age of 40. Look at those middle-aged people with big bellies and obese children who are panting when they walk. It will be difficult to think of "three highs" in the future. There is also a phenomenon: nowadays, the elderly are prone to brittle bones, and they will break their bones if they accidentally fall. People were not so fragile before. Why did the previous generation, or our generation, eat bran-swallowed vegetables, simple tea and light rice when they were young, and their bodies were so thin, but they were so strong when they started working? Nowadays, people are eating big fish and meat, getting fatter and fatter, but their physique is declining. Physical exercise is a factor, but it also shows that eating big fish and meat every day can not improve physical fitness, and overnutrition will affect physical health.

There are two centenarians in our village, one of whom died last year at the age of 103. I went to see her once. Her lifestyle is three meals a day. The other is alive, 102 years old, deaf and blind. She has never eaten meat or fish since she was a child. In addition to eating an egg every day, she can't live without a bowl of porridge every meal, followed by tortillas, sweet potatoes and steamed bread. I have no choice what to cook and eat. My father lived to be 94 years old, and when he was 90, he could still work in the fields. He hasn't eaten anything good since he was a child. In old age, it is not rare to have good food to eat. He can't drink enough corn porridge and eat sweet potato steamed bread. During the Chinese New Year, his mother will specially make some tortillas for his father. A guest came to the house and left before he tasted all the delicious food on the table. My father is in good health. He has never had an injection or been hospitalized since he was a child. We all wronged our father and said that he had never enjoyed happiness in his life, but he said, "Being full means enjoying happiness. What I want to eat is what I need in my stomach, and what I don't like to eat is what I don't need in my stomach. "

I have my father's genes and don't pay attention to life. I don't want big fish and big meat. I can eat whatever I want. Adjust family life and strive for the diversity of ingredients. Children like to eat fish, so they buy fish. My wife and I both like simple tea and simple rice.

I also saw the so-called blessed people in the village. An old secretary in the village ate all kinds of delicacies in his early years, and when he became a secretary, he still maintained a high standard of living, paid attention to three meals a day, paid great attention to health preservation, and ate health care products as meals. As a result, he left before he was 80 years old, and several of his peers were still alive. It is said that he was burned to death by Fu. And the old accountant in that village, known as the tumbler of the wine field, can cook good food. We should eat a lot of snacks at every meal. Therefore, this kind of happiness will not last long. More than 50 years old, "three highs" complete, less than 60 years old, I left. A few years ago, individual enterprises developed rapidly. After those small bosses in the village made a fortune, they all went out by car and ate out. Big fish and big meat feed them well, but who can say that their health is fine?

Now an ordinary person knows that the meat and fish feast only raises fat, not people. There is a saying: "Money is hard to buy old people thin". No one is worried about not having enough to eat, but the real worry should be over-nutrition, which will increase the burden on various organs of the body and be harmful to health. I have always felt that there is nothing wrong with my health. I didn't go to the physical examination organized by the unit in the early years. After retirement, there is a free physical examination every year. I have been there twice. I checked it once on 20 16, and there was no problem. I checked again this year, and something happened. Compared with the physical examination three years ago, many health indicators have changed: overweight, mild fatty liver, borderline abnormal electrocardiogram, hyperglycemia and high cholesterol. The doctor said, "I ate very well. I will eat more humble meals in the future." Only then did I realize that I, who had never eaten much meat and fish, had no burden since my parents died. The children treated me like an old man, and I didn't buy less delicious food at home, so I gradually lost control of my mouth. Obviously, there is overnutrition in the body. It seems that it is time to listen to the opinions of some experts. Eat three meals a day with less salt, less sugar and less calories. A balanced diet and a reasonable diet are good for your health.
