Products that should always be in the refrigerator of those over 40 years old have been named
It has been proven that after 40 years of age, all processes in the human body slow down, that is, biological aging begins.
This is accompanied by a “slowing down” of metabolism, and the metabolism becomes less active.
Therefore, doctors recommend that citizens aged 40+ change their culinary habits to avoid health problems, writes RBC.
And problems can come in the form of gastritis and dehydration, which is why experts advise older people to pay more attention to foods rich in nutrients, avoid high-calorie foods, and drink enough water.
Nutritionists advise citizens who are well over forty, especially those who have crossed the 60-year mark, to increase the number of meals, but the portions should be small.
It is recommended to include boiled eggs, yogurt, almonds in the diet, eat more vegetables, minimize sugar consumption, and replace fruits with berries.
Experts also recommend eating more foods with potassium, such as lentils or spinach, while foods containing sodium (such as salt) should be reduced.
Rospotrebnadzor advises elderly people to eat 5 times a day. Give preference to products containing a lot of protein and vitamins.
Once a day, a meat, fish or poultry dish is recommended, once a week – a liver dish.
In addition, do not forget about milk, cheese and eggs, which will help replenish the lack of protein, calcium and some vitamins.
