Nutritionist Elena Sviridova: people over 50 should reconsider and adjust their diet.
According to nutritionist Sviridova, after 50 years in the diet of people the presence of protein foods becomes especially important. Many at this age need to eat more protein.
“After age 50, there are a few dietary changes that need to be made to stay healthy. In middle age, for example, it is necessary to increase the amount of protein in the diet,” the expert shared with Gazeta.Ru.
Elena Sviridova explained that due to adequate protein intake, a good condition of bones and muscles is maintained. Healthy protein foods can improve protection against muscle and joint pain. In addition, they are important for maintaining the external youthfulness and elasticity of the skin. One such source of protein is bone broth.
“It’s worth drinking a cup of bone broth once a week, it will improve joint health and support the health of the digestive system,” expert Sviridova advised.
In addition, the specialist recommended excluding sausages and processed meat products from the daily diet. In addition, Sviridova advised after 50 years to drink less coffee. Under the influence of a tonic drink, pressure drops occur, the absorption of iron and other nutrients worsens, and sleep problems appear. For those who cannot refuse coffee, the nutritionist suggested drinking it with milk.
