The scorching heat is a relatively painful time for middle-aged and elderly people. Extreme climatic conditions such as high temperatures and high humidity can easily lead to weakness, fatigue, and even health problems such as heat stroke. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to a reasonable diet, supplement nutrition, and improve the body's resistance during the special period of dog days. This article will recommend to you the dietary advice of middle-aged and elderly people to eat less "1 melon" and more "3 things" on dog days to help you get through this hot summer.
In summer, melons and fruits have become people's first choice to relieve the heat. However, for middle-aged and older adults, while melon fruits have many benefits, there are some aspects that need to be cautious.
First of all, melons and fruits contain a lot of water, which can easily lead to frequent urination, which in turn increases the burden on the kidneys of middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with urinary diseases. Therefore, try to minimize the intake of melons and fruits on dog days to avoid putting too much burden on the kidneys.
Secondly, melons and fruits are rich in fiber, which can easily cause problems such as indigestion and bloating, especially for middle-aged and elderly people with poor digestive function. Therefore, it is important to choose melons and fruits in moderation and with other easily digestible foods to protect gastrointestinal health.
Although in the hot dog days, middle-aged and elderly people should eat less melons and fruits, but they still need to supplement enough nutrients to improve the body's resistance. Therefore, we recommend that middle-aged and elderly people eat more "3 things" during this time.
1. Eat more foods that clear away heat and relieve heat
In summer, middle-aged and elderly people are prone to symptoms such as mouth ulcers, irritability, and insomnia, which are related to the fire in the body. Therefore, you can choose some heat-clearing and detoxifying foods, such as soybean sprouts, cucumbers, winter melons, etc., to help regulate the body, discharge excess calories, and reduce discomfort.
2. Eat more green vegetables
Green vegetables are rich in various vitamins and minerals, which can provide the nutrients needed by middle-aged and elderly people. At the same time, the fiber in green vegetables can promote digestion and bowel movements, reducing the problem of constipation. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people can eat more green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, bitter gourd, rape, etc., to increase the intake of dietary fiber.
3. Eat more foods rich in high-quality protein
As we age, the metabolic rate of middle-aged and elderly people gradually decreases, muscle mass decreases, and more high-quality protein is needed to maintain the body's function. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should eat more protein-rich foods, such as chicken, fish, soy products, etc., to meet the body's protein needs.
As an editor, I understand the health challenges of middle-aged and older adults during dog days. I have seen many middle-aged and elderly people suffer from heat stroke and excessive burden on their kidneys due to improper diet in hot weather. Therefore, I strongly recommend the advice of eating less melons and fruits to maintain the health of middle-aged and elderly people.
At the same time, I have also found in some middle-aged and elderly families that they lack diversity in their summer diets, and the phenomenon of picky eating is more common. Therefore, I think the advice of eating more "3 things" is very important, which can help middle-aged and elderly people take in more comprehensive nutrition, improve immunity, and prevent and alleviate some common health problems in summer.
In the hot summer of dog days, middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to a reasonable diet, supplement nutrition, and improve the body's resistance. Try to eat less melons and fruits to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys and causing digestive problems. Eating more heat-relieving foods, green vegetables and foods rich in high-quality protein can effectively help middle-aged and elderly people get through the hot summer. I hope that these suggestions and reflections can be helpful to the majority of middle-aged and elderly people, maintain good health and enjoy a good life.
