Can A Balanced Diet Lead To Longevity? Japanese Geriatrics Experts Revealed That These Two Things Are More Important

These days, everyone likes to talk about the "nutrition balance theory", but Japanese geriatrics expert Nobuo Otsuka has a different opinion. Here are some excerpts from his book:

One day, another Miss S in her forties discussed this issue with me.

“My parents say they eat out every night, and they take turns eating their favorite Chinese and Japanese food. In Chinese restaurants, they eat dumplings with beer, and in Japanese food, they eat udon noodles with Japanese wine. It seems that even the store owner remembers their faces. Isn't this nutritional imbalance? So I told them, "You have to cook your own rice like before, with vegetables, meat, and fish. It's not okay to not eat a balanced meal. !” Alas, my mother used to love cooking so much, and now she eats out every day...” Miss S said while sighing.

I said Miss S, please stop doing such stupid things. , tell them to eat what they don't want to eat, and.

No matter what you do when you get old, it will become very laborious, especially cooking and cleaning. There is nothing more tiring than this. After all, you have to struggle with these things every day. It's okay to eat outside, right?

If the same person cooks for a long time, they will get tired of it, so they make more use of outside food.

In particular, Japanese people generally believe that cooking is healthy by themselves, and most of them think that eating outside is not good. When people are socially active, they can still freely choose where, how often, and how much to eat to a certain extent.As the scope narrows, the choices that can be made will also decrease.

Especially, if the same person cooks the food, no matter how much you try to change it, you will still get tired of eating because of the similar taste and cooking method. That's why we can make good use of eating out.

Even if you are eating at home, you only need to serve it with a side dish that is simply used for seasoning, such as rice with natto, raw eggs or seaweed. The key is that you will not get tired of eating it several times.

You don't have to stick to the place and format of the meal, just follow your mood at the time and eat what you want at the place you like. Don't do the trivial and laborious things. When a person is old, simply eating is the best.

So, ladies in the world, it's not easy at all to change your mood and go out to eat every now and then, or eat raw egg bibimbap to settle a meal. In fact, your husband will feel very happy. I received the instant noodle group as a souvenir at a golf tournament before, and all the men of the same age who participated at that time were all dancing with joy. (laughs)

"Wow, I really want to eat and see! Instant noodles are delicious, right?" We sighed one after another. Junk food such as instant noodles is harmful to health, not nutritious, and cannot be eaten as a main meal. Such a view may be a social common sense, but in fact, as long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you want to eat it.

Bibimbap and instant noodles are just an exampleJust an example. In terms of daily meals, as a wife, as a husband, as a member of the family, I want them to be the heart of the family for each other, not a heavy burden. "What, so that's all it takes?" Like this, it's good to occasionally bring out some dishes that escape the daily life.

Let's let go of the ideas and concerns about your family's eating habits and let each other live more freely.

. It is true that when we are young, or into our 60s, having a good diet is a great way to maintain good health. But whether that can still be said after the age of 75 is quite doubtful.

In order to lower cholesterol and lose weight, I have to endure not eating what I want, and pay attention to everything in my life. Even if it works, it will not be seen until 5 or 10 years later.

In my case, I think.

After 70, we need to pay more attention to the amount of food we eat

All of our bodily functions will function normally. Let’s not talk about when you are young, after the age of 70, even if your appetite decreases, your body will still choose the nutrients you need according to your needs. At that time, we should pay attention to the amount of food we eat.

As you get older, even if you have an appetite, your food intake will indeed decrease, and many people should start to lose weight. That is to say, the modern diet is diverse and diverse, even if you only eat what you like, it will not easily lead to malnutrition.

As we age, we can eat more freely. Eat as much as you want, as much as you want.

No matter how nutritious it is, it only makes sense if someone eats it.

Modern people really like to talk about the "nutrition balance theory". Generally speaking, it takes at least a week for food to enter the human body to be digested, not in units of a day, so it is not necessary to change the daily dishes according to the standard of three meals a day. Roughly speaking, it is sufficient to have a balanced diet in monthly units.

Also, no matter how you calculate the nutrient intake of each meal, it only makes sense for someone to eat it. Therefore, first of all, the premise of "delicious" and "want to eat" must be.
