Fermented milk products should be included in the diet of people of retirement age.
The fact is that they contain bacteria that are necessary for the health of the intestines of older men and women.
An excellent source of beneficial bacteria and antioxidants is kefir.
It should be drunk three to four times a week.
Portion sizes depend on individual indicators.
On average, you can eat up to 150-200 grams of yogurt per day. As for kefir, you should not drink more than 500 ml per day.
This statement was made by nutritionist Andrei Bobrovsky in an interview with Sputnik radio.
The specialist added that cottage cheese, which contains protein and calcium, is also useful for the elderly. The latter element is especially important, since with age, bones begin to lose density.
In this case, you need to choose products without sugar, preservatives and dyes. Such additives only harm your health.
Earlier we told you at what time you should drink kefir.
