Middle Aged And Elderly People, Please Remember: Nutrition Is More Important Than Exercise

"Life lies in exercise." Throughout society, most elderly people actively exercise every day. They have enough time to do various sports that they wanted to do but didn't have time to do before, such as walking, running, hiking, practicing Tai Chi, dancing, streets, parks, and lakesides. Eighty to ninety percent of them are elderly people.

According to reason, actively exercising should reduce the number of sick elderly people. However, the current situation for many elderly people is that when they first start exercising, they get less sick in the first few years and their physique becomes stronger. However, as they get older and exercise more, they may suffer from various illnesses and even go to the hospital, especially for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. While exercising, they also suffer from illnesses.

What exactly is the reason for this?

A few days without eating will lead to death, and a few days without exercising will lead to death. No, eating is much more important than exercising. People who still get sick after exercising are often those who prioritize exercise over dietary therapy. Spend a few hours exercising every day, but eat a simple and light meal, emphasizing a light and vegetarian diet.

As people age, both qi and blood deficiency are common ailments in the elderly. Various organs have served you for decades and have also consumed a lot of wear and tear. The elderly also have a characteristic of reduced appetite, weakened digestive and absorption capacity of the gastrointestinal tract, and reduced sleep time, which leads to a decline in immunity and susceptibility to illness as they age. The elderly suffer from both qi and blood deficiency, and the decrease in blood volume can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the limbs, so they are relatively afraid of the cold and wear more clothes.

The consequences of emphasizing exercise over dietary therapy - possible sudden onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease

After exercising, our limbs warm up because the blood supply is significantly sufficient, and at this time, the organs, especially the heart and brain, which require a large amount of blood supply, will be relatively ischemic. Exercise does not increase blood volume, but rather redistributes blood. Prolonged exercise can cause symptoms of obvious ischemia in the heart and brain, such as dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, and sweating.

Some elderly people, after experiencing these symptoms, do not rest and supplement nutrition promptly, but exercise more actively, believing that the above symptoms are due to lack of exercise or less exercise. Little did they know that some elderly people died of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases after exercising.

So, middle-aged and elderly people, please remember: nutrition is more important than exercise! Middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to balanced nutrition to have fewer diseases and longer lifespans! A reasonable and rich diet can enhance physical fitness, supplement qi and blood, provide sufficient blood supply to various organs in the body at any time, reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and prolong life.

In addition to moderate exercise, elderly people should focus on using dietary therapy to supplement their bodies. According to the weaknesses of the elderly's body, the following points should be noted in dietary therapy:

1. Eat soft, rotten, and easily digestible food.

2. Fruit: Ensure one orange, orange, or apple per day.

3. Drink 1-2 bottles of milk and 1-2 eggs every day, and ensure that there is beef, fish, shrimp, and chicken every week. I often eat lamb in winter, and fish and shrimp are mainly sea fish and shrimp. Sea fish and shrimp have high nutritional value and less pollution. Various meat dishes are rotated every week to ensure complete nutrition. Seasonal vegetables are the main focus, and out-of-season vegetables are consumed less. At the same time, eat less or avoid eating duck meat, snails, clam meat, squid, and crabs. These foods with a cold nature can weaken the spleen and stomach of elderly people, and raw, cold, and cold foods can easily damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, elderly people should also try to eat less or avoid eating them as much as possible.

4. Eat more Congee food, and often use red dates, longans, walnut kernels, ginkgo, yams, chestnuts, hollow lotus seeds, and pine nuts to cook Congee.

5. Choose high-quality Chinese herbal medicines to nourish the body, such as the traditional Chinese medicine Guanhua Cistanche. According to the "Shennong Bencao Jing", it "treats five labor and seven injuries, nourishes the middle, eliminates cold and heat pain in the stems, nourishes the five internal organs, strengthens yin, benefits essence and qi, has many children, and is suitable for women with abdominal pain. Long-term consumption can help alleviate the body.".
