Do You Know? Middle Aged And Elderly People Over 60 Years Old Should Supplement These Nutrients!

Jul 01, 2024

After reaching the age of 60, the functions of various organs in the human body will gradually decline.

I believe many people may have encountered such a problem, which is that as they age, their memory deteriorates severely, and they also appear slightly slow and sluggish in their actions, and they may not be interested in socializing. These consecutive changes made them suspect that they had a disease, so they became even more anxious. Uncle Chen is a typical example.

Uncle Chen has been suffering from high blood pressure for nearly 20 years and needs to take antihypertensive drugs every day. After having breakfast that day, he picked up the medicine as usual and was about to take it. Suddenly, he was scared by his wife's scolding, "Didn't you just take it? Why did you still take it?" He snatched the medicine from Uncle Chen's hand and kept muttering that Uncle Chen was confused.

Upon hearing his wife's words, Uncle Chen was immediately dumbfounded and muttered to himself, "Did I take my medicine just now? How come I don't remember?" However, after hearing his wife's words, Uncle Chen realized that he had undergone many changes in recent times. Sometimes he always lost his composure, and when he went out to buy something, he forgot what he wanted to buy at the supermarket, and his spirit was not as good as before. In the past, I used to have afternoon tea and practice Tai Chi with friends, but now I'm not even interested in the most basic outdoor activities.

In fact, in daily life, Uncle Chen's situation is very common, especially in those over 60 years old. People may not be able to accept sudden changes in their bodies for a while, leading to anxiety and even seeking medical treatment and medication to reverse this phenomenon. Sometimes some changes are a normal aging response of the body, so there is no need to worry too much, just make appropriate adjustments. Today, the doctor will give you a good talk about the topic of aging.

1, Research has found that aging has three distinct time points

Nowadays, in the era of rapid economic development, people's living standards have also improved a lot. In terms of diet, previously only basic needs could be met, but now we are pursuing high-nutrient foods, which is a qualitative leap. However, as living conditions improve, the incidence of various chronic diseases is also increasing, and people's awareness of healthcare is also growing. More and more people are joining the ranks of health preservation.

Especially with age, after the age of 60, the body can quickly decline, and various organs and tissues begin to gradually decline, corresponding functions also gradually decline. People are even more afraid of aging. When it comes to aging, it doesn't just start at the age of 60. It can be said that everyone has embarked on the path of aging from the moment they are born. However, when it comes to the most obvious time points, there are mainly these three -34 years old, 60 years old, and 78 years old.

The globally authoritative journal Nature Medicine published a study on the aging process of humans, in which researchers collected plasma from over 4200 individuals aged 18-95.

By analyzing the composition of proteins in plasma, it was found that there are nearly 1400 proteins closely related to age: the number of proteins fluctuates with age. And it was found that protein levels peaked at the ages of 34, 60, and 78, and then began to rapidly decline.

Finally, the researchers concluded that aging in a normal person does not occur at a steady rate. In other words, when one reaches a certain point in time, they will suddenly notice that they are getting old, such as a short-term decline in memory, vision and hearing, and physical strength. Especially at the age of 34, 60, and 78, the feeling of aging becomes more pronounced.

Therefore, in life, there may be many people who suddenly feel "old", which has a certain basis. Aging is unavoidable for people. If the following 5 phenomena occur in people over 60 years old, don't worry. This is a normal phenomenon of aging, and you can respond with a positive attitude.

2, These 5 changes in the body after the age of 60 are normal phenomena of aging

When the human body begins to age, there are some marks on the body. Although sometimes we cannot stop them, if we detect them early in the day and intervene, it can slow down the pace of aging, which is also beneficial for longevity.

1. Memory decline

Memory decline and forgetfulness are probably the most common phenomena that occur as one ages. This is because as people age, the number and quality of brain nerve cells also decrease, and the rate of decline is closely related to age, which is called cell apoptosis in medicine. And brain nerve cells are nonrenewable cells, which means their numbers will only decrease and there will be no substitutes.

Studies have long found that when people reach the age of 20, the number of brain nerve cells begins to decrease, but there is no significant memory decline at this time; After the age of 40, the rate of decline is faster, decreasing at a rate of 10000 per day, and memory also slightly decreases; However, as people turn 60, their memory and comprehension abilities significantly decline. Not being able to remember things is a common occurrence, and some people even cannot remember their way home after going out. However, this is a normal decline in memory and cannot be equated with Alzheimer's disease.

2. Decreased physical strength

Physical decline is a common phenomenon. When young, one is strong and strong, but as one age, their physical functions begin to decline. It is difficult to maintain the strength and endurance of their youth. Especially at the age of 60, the speed of physical strength seems to rapidly decrease as the slope descends. In the past, holding something in hand could even climb six floors in one breath, with only slight breathing; Now climbing two floors empty-handed can make you pant for breath.

This situation occurs because as one age, the heart and lung function of the human body will significantly decline. At this time, if the same physical work is done, the heart will do more work and the person will be more tired.

If you want to improve this phenomenon, it is recommended to do more exercise daily and do some physical training within your ability, which is very beneficial for the improvement of physical strength.

3. Skin deterioration

After the human body begins to age slowly, another obvious change is the change in skin condition, such as yellowing, various spots (such as melasma and black spots), decreased elasticity, and more wrinkles. If skin care is not taken seriously daily, the skin will become worse and worse. These skin changes seem even worse for women who love beauty, and once these changes occur, remedial measures are useless. These are signals of human aging.

This is mainly related to the shortened lifespan of fibroblasts in the skin. As age increases, the lifespan of fibroblasts also decreases, and their ability to divide, replicate, and reproduce also decreases. This causes the water content of human cells to slowly flow away, no longer as elastic as when they were young, becoming very dry, wrinkled, and sometimes even cracking, accompanied by occasional pain.

4. Osteoporosis

Many people are more likely to experience joint pain as they age, which is closely related to osteoporosis. According to incomplete statistics, the incidence of osteoporosis is increasing among the elderly population in China, reaching over 40%.

Aging is comprehensive, including our skeletal system. As we age, the activity of vitamin D in the human body weakens and the absorption capacity of vitamin D also decreases. Especially for elderly women, after menopause, the rapid decline of estrogen leads to the rapid loss of bone in the bones, making it more prone to osteoporosis.

Usually, for people over 60 years old, osteoporosis occurs to some extent, but it does not have a significant impact on human movement. The doctor suggests that if joint pain occurs during prolonged walking, calcium supplementation can be administered appropriately to alleviate the symptoms. If it continues to worsen, then do not sit idly by and it is best to seek the help of a doctor to see if professional treatment is necessary.

5. Sexual dysfunction

As people age, they may struggle with sexual activity and exhibit decreased sexual function. Indeed, many people will find that the older they get, the fewer times they engage in sexual activity, and the shorter the duration. Some men may even experience early symptoms of impotence and premature ejaculation, while women may also experience vaginal relaxation, dryness, and other conditions, leading to a severe decrease in their sexual desire, which is only one of the signs of aging.

For this situation, it is still within one's capabilities and not to be forceful. There are corresponding and most suitable ways of sexual activity for different age groups. Do not force yourself to still be like when you were young, after all, few people can do it.

However, when it comes to elderly life, many people feel embarrassed to ask for more after getting old. This is a misconception. Engaging in married life appropriately in old age can increase happiness and be more beneficial for prolonging life.

In addition, elderly people should pay attention to the following dietary points:

1. The food is diverse and well-matched. It is necessary to consume the following five types of food in moderation every day: ① Cereal staple foods, and pay attention to pairing them with some coarse and miscellaneous grains in moderation. The appetite should be determined based on individual circumstances Vegetables and fruits are water-soluble vitamins, mineral elements, and essential bioactive substances for maintaining health. You should consume no less than 300 grams of vegetables and 100 grams of fruits per day Animal foods, including fish, poultry, eggs, and animal meat, are important sources of high-quality protein and many mineral elements such as iron, zinc, copper, selenium, etc. It should be ensured that the total amount per day is not less than 150-200 grams of Milk and legumes. Drinking a glass of milk and regularly consuming legumes can provide abundant calcium, phosphorus, and some vitamins and proteins Pure heat foods such as alcohol, refined sugar, and cooking oil should be consumed in moderation.

2. A light diet. The characteristics of a light diet are nongreasy, not too salty, not too sweet, and no irritating seasoning. The food has a refreshing taste and is easy to digest. Elderly people who adhere to a light diet for a long time have a lower risk of obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease.

3. Supplement nutrients as appropriate. The deficiency of mineral elements and vitamins should first be regulated through diet, such as vitamin A and iron deficiency, and attention can be paid to eating animal liver and blood appropriately; Increasing the intake of dairy and legumes, as well as moderate exercise and sunlight exposure, can slow down bone calcium loss. When the deficiency is severe or restricted by food intake, such nutritional supplements can be supplemented as appropriate while adjusting the diet.

4. Elderly people should pay attention to drinking tea. As tea is consumed daily and frequently on an empty stomach, it is more conducive to absorption. In autumn and winter, it is recommended to drink as little bitter gourd tea, kuding tea, honeysuckle tea, and cassia seed tea, which are cold and cool teas as possible.

5. Choose high-quality Chinese herbal supplements for daily health care.
