What nutrients are good for the elderly to eat?A nutritionally complete TA has something to say.
With the deepening of China's aging population, the market for elderly nutrition products is becoming more and more popular. This is because the elderly are more or less prone to health problems such as bad stomach, unstable blood sugar, and insufficient nutrient intake when they get older. So what nutrients are good for the elderly to eat?Let's take a good look at this issue today.
Do your homework and "check and fill in the gaps" in your daily nutritional intake
There are a variety of middle-aged and elderly health care products on the market, but due to the decline of oral and gastrointestinal functions of the elderly, formula milk powder stands out from the crowd of nutritional products with its advantages of simple and easy to swallow, easy to digest, and comprehensive nutrition, and is also a high-quality choice for the elderly to supplement comprehensive nutrition. It is recommended that when choosing formula milk powder, products with high brand awareness, good market reputation, and scientific and comprehensive formula should be the first choice, and you can buy it with confidence.
At the same time, when choosing a nutritionally comprehensive formula, in addition to common nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, the elderly with weak gastrointestinal function can choose to add dietary fiber, prebiotics and other formulas to maintain intestinal health, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin can have a two-way regulatory function for constipation and diarrheaIn addition, L-carnitine, which regulates blood lipids and protects the heart, is added to the formula powderTaurine 2 and other ingredients that reduce the incidence of heart failure, atherosclerosis, arrhythmia, etc., can also better care for the health of middle-aged and elderly people.
Because everyone's health condition and physique are different, you also need to choose the right product according to your own physique, for example, the elderly with high blood sugar need to choose 0 sucrose formula, which is not easy to raise blood sugar.
Nestlé Diet (Preferential Diet) and Sugar Comfort contribute to the health of the elderly.
As a professional nutritional formula for the elderly launched by Nestlé Health Science, Jiashan Youxuan (Jiashan Preferred) has an excellent reputation in the market, and has also won the registration certificate of formula food for special medical purposes by virtue of its strength. This kind of special medical food is designed to provide nutritional support for people over 10 years old who need nutritional supplementation for people with restricted eating, digestive and absorption disorders, and metabolic disorders, and is a high-quality choice for the elderly to supplement nutrition.
Jiashan Youxuan (Jiashan Preferred) uses a high-quality formula of whey protein and casein 1:1, which adds sufficient whey protein, which is absorbed and stored by the human body to the highest degree of utilization of all proteins, and casein has the effect of inhibiting protein decomposition.
Jiashan Youxuan also contains 28 kinds of essential vitamins and minerals, with rich prebiotics, VE, B6, B12, zinc, L-carnitine and other nutrients, which can supplement comprehensive and balanced nutrition for the elderly, and help middle-aged and elderly people improve muscle strength and immunity. The additional soluble dietary fiber can also help the elderly with weak gastrointestinal function to stabilize the intestinal environment and take care of intestinal health.
For seniors with high blood sugar or diabetes, Nestlé Health Science has also launched a Diet Formula for the Elderly, which still retains the high-quality formula of whey protein and casein 1:1, and the low glycemic index formula (GI=28) can also help stabilize blood sugar after meals.
