More Than 80% Of Chinese People Over The Age Of 50 Are Calcium Deficient! A Nutritionist Teaches Homemade "High Calcium Sesame Drink" To Easily Make Up For One Cup A Day, Delicious And Not Fat

Falls are a fatal risk for the elderly! According to the survey, the daily calcium intake of Chinese people over 65 years old is generally insufficient, especially the proportion of unqualified bone mineral density. More than 90% of women and 80% of men are over 50 years old. The nutritionist taught everyone to make a cup of "sesame milk cereal" drink every day. It can be supplemented, and the nutrition will not be fat.

Chen Jiaqi, a nutritionist at Nantou Hospital, said that according to the recommendation of the National Health Administration, adults should consume 1,000 mg of calcium per day. However, according to the 2013-2016 National Nutrition and Health Status Change Survey, the average daily intake of dairy products for people over 65 years old is about 0.4 -0.7 cups, far less than the recommended amount of 1.5 cups.

In addition, the National Taiwan Normal University study also showed that the proportion of Chinese people with unqualified bone density is 92% for 50-year-old women, 80% for men, and as high as 82% in the central region. Therefore, the calcium deficiency crisis is an urgent issue that must be actively addressed.

Chen Jiaqi pointed out that the elderly, coupled with the lack of vitamin D, lead to the gradual loss of bone mass. Once a fall, the risk of fracture is greatly increased, which not only limits the body, but also increases the burden on caregivers.

Because calcium enters the human body through the transformation of vitamin D before it can be stored and absorbed, a balanced diet and sun exposure can help calcium intake.

This cup of sesame milk oatmeal is as high as 400 mg of calcium, accounting for 40% of the recommended daily intake. It also contains protein and Fat, the drink is delicious, not fat, full and nutritious.
