"Contains a lot of iodine, calcium and phosphorus": a doctor told what kind of fish the elderly should eat
Older people need to include fish in their diet.
In this case, the best effect on the body will be achieved by eating sea bass.
Nutritionist Elena Solomatina spoke about the benefits of such fish.
She noted that the product contains a lot of iodine, which is important for men and women of retirement age.
Still, iodine deficiency is quite common among the elderly, because for many of them seafood is not included in the consumer basket due to various circumstances.
In addition, as the doctor said, iodine is needed for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. If the body experiences a deficiency, then as a result a person may experience irritability, forgetfulness, dry skin and hair.
But these are not all the benefits of eating sea bass.
As Solomatina told representatives of the publication " Moscow 24 ", the product contains calcium and phosphorus, which support bone health. In addition, perch provides essential fatty acids, which maintain normal cholesterol.
Fish protein is easily digestible and does not overload the digestive system.
