As the human body ages, it seems to "fade out", which primarily affects the digestive system, which cannot withstand the previous load. Experts in the field of medicine and health named 5 main principles of nutrition, following which after 60 years you can avoid the development of a number of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Starting from the age of 40, the daily amount of calories should decrease by approximately 10% every 7 years, and by the age of 60, the daily amount of calories consumed may vary by around 2. In this way, the stomach, which loses its elasticity with age, will continue to function normally, and the risk of gastritis, ulcers or erosion will decrease many times.
Experts recommend limiting meat consumption in adulthood. This product should not be completely excluded, but preference should be given to low-fat varieties - chicken, turkey, veal and others. It is necessary to eat river fish twice a week and avoid garlic, hot spices and sauces if possible. Eggs must be present in the diet, and it is recommended to use them in the form of an omelette or hard-boiled.
If a person after the age of 60 observes the development of intolerance to dairy products, for example, heaviness in the stomach, then they should be abandoned. In the absence of this problem, the daily dose of "milk" should not exceed 400 grams, and it is better to use processed milk, i.e. yogurt, kefir or ryazhenka. It is advisable to replace the butter with something more useful. As an option, you can try cheese.
It is useful for elderly people to use porridge, but at the same time semolina, pearl barley and millet should be abandoned, and buckwheat and oatmeal should be a must in the diet. It is desirable to "flavor" the latter with fresh fruits and berries. The amount of sugar should also be reduced. You can consume no more than 50 grams of it per day, and take into account not only the pure product, but also the one that is included in ready-made meals and drinks. The amount of table salt should not exceed 5 grams per day, which will help reduce the load on the kidneys and normalize blood pressure.
