Just rice with kimchi every day?... The must-eat 'this food' for middle-aged women?

 

✔️The most lacking nutrient, calcium... Although consuming vegetables and grains, absorption rate is low

The most deficient nutrient in our diet is calcium. According to the Korean Nutrient Intake Standards (2020), the recommended daily calcium intake for adults is 700-800 mg, but actual intake is less than 70%. This is especially serious for middle-aged women who are at high risk of osteoporosis during menopause. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, calcium intake from vegetables was the highest. There is also a significant intake from grains, but these foods contain high levels of fiber, phytic acid, and phosphates, which have the disadvantage of reducing absorption efficiency.

 

✔️ Milk is good for absorption, but if you're not in the mood, yogurt or Greek yogurt is an alternative.

So, how can we solve the problem of calcium deficiency? According to data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, it is important to consume calcium-rich foods such as fish eaten with bones, anchovies, and dried radish greens. However, increasing the intake of dairy products is a preferable approach because they are well absorbed by the body. Some people avoid milk due to digestive issues. In such cases, yogurt or Greek yogurt can be good alternatives. There are also products on the market fortified with high levels of calcium. When purchasing, it is advisable to check for saturated fat and sugar content to choose a suitable product. To aid in the absorption and utilization of calcium in the body, it is beneficial to get about 20 minutes of sunlight exposure on bare skin in the morning to promote vitamin D production.

✔️Blood supply - Iron that helps muscle activity... Meat has good absorption rate

Iron is an essential mineral that produces hemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. It also plays a role in generating energy so that muscles can perform sufficient activity. Iron deficiency can cause health problems such as anemia, fatigue, weakness, and cognitive impairment. Iron is found in plant foods like legumes and spinach, but it is better absorbed when included in meat. However, since meat contains a lot of saturated fat, consuming it appropriately is recommended to avoid other health issues such as obesity and colon cancer.

✔️ Obtain energy, protein, and fat through grains and meats... Consume whole grains and reduce fat intake

According to the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and other data, when analyzing energy intake by food type, grains (carbohydrates) and meats were the main sources, with proteins and fats following in order of meat and grains. Rice and meat provide energy and help build muscle. However, it is a task to move away from rice-based meals and incorporate whole grains such as brown rice and barley, and to reduce excessive fat intake from meat. Overconsumption of carbohydrates can lead to diabetes, hyperlipidemia (dyslipidemia), and obesity. Relying on leftover food for meals due to lack of time or convenience is not advisable. For a healthy lifespan, a balanced diet with a variety of nutrients is essential.

    맞는말인듯 싶어요  직장다닐때 점심은 무조건 급식이든 외식이고.간간히 저녁은 회식등 외식을 종종하게됐지요
    퇴직해 집에 있다보니 차리기도 귀찮고 남은 반친 잔반처리식사위주죠
    우유나 견과류는 타로 섭취하지만 균형잡힌 식단은 이니죠
    날위해서만 식딘을 한다는게 주부들은 힘든게 사실이죠

      맞아요 차리기 귀찮아서 한가지 반찬에 
      대충 먹게 되는것 같아요.
