An example is halva. Older people even need to include it in their diet, as it contains many vitamins, minerals and other useful substances.
Why older people need to eat halva, Lenta.ru reports, citing biologist Irina Lyalina.
What are the benefits of halva?
If you consider it as a dessert, then halva is simply an ideal option for older people, as well as for women.
It contains fiber, which helps maintain intestinal health.
In addition, it contains fatty acids that help prevent heart problems, as well as antioxidants that protect against inflammation.
Halva also contains vitamin E, which slows down the aging process.
Which one is healthier?
Peanut halva is rich in silicon, which makes it beneficial for cartilage, tendons and teeth.
