Eating habits of people in their 40s and 60s

Eating habits women aged 40 to 60 should definitely pay attention to...

This food that changes my body

 

The enemy of women's health

Bread, rice, sweet foods, ramen-noodles vs mixed grain rice, whole wheat bread, vegetables, seaweed

 

As you reach middle age, you need to pay attention to carbohydrate control. You also need to consume carbohydrates, which are the body's source of energy.

However, eating excessively can lead to weight gain and an increase in triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. Blood sugar levels spike, increasing the risk of diabetes.

Dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels) serves as the starting point.

It can progress to stroke (ischemic stroke - hemorrhagic stroke) or myocardial infarction.

 

You should eat whole grains (mixed grains), bean rice instead of refined carbohydrates like white bread, white rice, sweets, and ramen.

Since mixed grains are difficult to digest, even when eating plain white rice, it is good to accompany it with plenty of fiber-rich vegetables and seaweed that help regulate blood sugar levels.

 

Protein + Blood purification + Contribution to cognitive function... "Eat fish regularly"

 

Fish is especially a good food for middle age.

First, it is rich in proteins that are good for muscles. According to the national standard food composition table, 100g of mackerel contains 20.2g of protein. It is not much different from chicken breast, a symbol of high protein content (22.97g). It contains a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids, which help purify blood, reducing triglycerides and cholesterol. Omega-3 also contributes to brain activity and maintaining cognitive function. Blue fish such as mackerel, saury, Spanish mackerel, and tuna are especially good, but other fish also benefit health.

 

When you're hungry in the afternoon, instead of factory-made snacks

Eating a handful of nuts is good for blood health and helps prevent overeating at dinner. Consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in antioxidants and staying active in daily life can actively respond to hormonal changes. It's never too late, even in your 60s. Changing your eating habits can help you secure a healthy old age.
