In the cold winter season, the weather gradually gets colder, and if you want to keep your body in good shape, you need to eat properly to help your body adapt to climate change.

At this time, it is also the time for middle-aged and elderly friends to make up for it, as we all know, the physical function of the elderly is declining year by year, and their appetite will also decrease.

However, if you pay attention to some small details in your diet, you can still help middle-aged and elderly people better improve their physical functions and make themselves healthier and more energetic.

So what are the foods suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends to nourish their bodies in winter?

Bean curd.

As we all know, middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to eating less foods with high blood lipids, because the blood circulation of the elderly is poorer than that of young people, and the elasticity of blood vessels has become more fragile.

If you add to the intake of foods that are too high in fat, it will cause excessive blood lipid accumulation, which is easy to induce various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so middle-aged and elderly friends should try to control the amount of fat intake every day.

Moreover, the physical function of middle-aged and elderly friends has begun to decline, and recent studies have shown that most of the food concentrated in the stomach and intestines of most middle-aged and elderly friends is actually just a simple accumulation, and is not effectively absorbed and utilized by the body.

Therefore, if you want to make your body more healthy and energetic, you only need to control the amount of food you eat every day, and middle-aged and elderly friends have three meals a day, and try to control each meal to stop eating until you are full.

Moreover, there is another more distressing problem for the elderly, that is, the elderly are sometimes prone to constipation.

Fortunately, there is a very easy to make, easy to understand, and the nutritional value is also very high, cost-effective and cost-effective food can make middle-aged and elderly friends nourish the body well, and can also reduce constipation.

This food is tofu.

Tofu has a very high nutrition, but the calories are only a small part of meat, so for middle-aged and elderly friends who are afraid of eating too much and gaining weight, tofu is a good choice.

And tofu is rich in vegetable protein, but the amount of fat is very small, almost negligible, so even people who do not have health requirements are not good to eat too much animal oil.

But only eat vegetable oil and always feel that there is no taste, at this time you can choose tofu, which is rich in plant-based protein, which can not only make the vegetable taste more delicious, but also reduce health problems, very good.

In addition, tofu is also rich in crude fiber, which can help improve the intestinal state and relieve constipation very well, so for middle-aged and elderly friends who are prone to constipation, tofu is really a very good nourishing food.

Duck meat.

In addition to tofu, there is another type of meat that is also suitable for autumn eating, this kind of meat is duck meat, because duck meat can nourish yin and clear heat, and has a good autumn nourishing effect.

Autumn and winter are known to be the season when many animals have evolved a lot of hair, and if you don't wear thick clothes when it's cold, you can feel very cold, and natural environments such as lakes can also become cold due to lower temperatures.

Therefore, in order to keep the body warmer, all kinds of animals start to eat, and in order to resist the cold, they will tend to choose high-calorie meat foods, and ducks appear at this time to become a regular guest at our table.

Nowadays, people have stricter dietary regulations, and for ordinary people, they think that beef and mutton are too hot and not suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends to eat.

But in fact, the fat in beef and mutton is not as much as pork, and duck meat just meets the requirements of middle-aged and elderly friends for food health.

First of all, the fat content:

In general, duck meat has less fat than pork in the same amount, but in terms of taste and texture, it is better than pork, which is about three-fifths or five-sixths of pork.

Secondly, the degree of fire:

There is more fat in mutton, and there is more fiber, and its digestion difficulty is relatively high in meat, and mutton is seriously clogged with pores, which will also lead to fire, so it is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends.

Beef is not so easy to catch fire, but its protein content is extremely high, you must know that the protein content in beef is almost comparable to starchy foods, therefore, it is not recommended to let middle-aged and elderly friends eat beef every day.

Pork, on the other hand, differs in its composition due to different animal breeds, and the calories in various pork pieces are almost the same, but in general, they are all higher in calories than duck meat.

There is also a kind of meat that is suitable for eating in summer, that is, chicken, but chicken is basically eaten between winter and spring, so it is not recommended to eat chicken in autumn.

It can be seen that duck meat is the most suitable meat for nourishing eating in autumn, because it is not easy to catch fire, and it also has a high protein content and nutritional value, which is very suitable for people of all ages.

Peanuts.

In addition to tofu and duck, there are many other grains, vegetables and fruits that are also suitable for autumn consumption, but the price is often very expensive, some of which are even so expensive that ordinary people cannot afford to eat them.

However, some foods that are not very expensive but have extremely high nutritional value really make people feel very conscientious, such as peanuts are not only very cheap, but also have extremely high nutritional value, which is the conscience representative of food!

Let's first take a look at what nutrients peanuts have:

First of all, it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are a safe oil that does not fatten people like saturated fatty acids, so eating peanuts will not cause obesity, and at the same time, it can also unblock blood vessels and help heart and lung health.

Secondly, it is also rich in vitamin E and other vitamins, together with various mineral elements to form a trace element group, which plays a huge protective role in the human body, so peanuts are not only suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends, but also suitable for people of all ages to eat!

Celery.

Finally, we recommend a vegetable that is inexpensive and often overlooked, and that is celery.

Why is celery a star vegetable?

The main reason is that it is rich in nutrients, not only can it have antioxidant, haze, blood pressure, anti-aging and other effects, but more importantly, it has excellent disease prevention effect, which can prevent diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, heart disease and other serious diseases, so celery is definitely a star partner on the table!
