The link between weight and death has been discovered! Confirmed: After the age of 60, this weight will live the longest

Many people think that when they get old, their digestive ability decreases, and they should eat less meat and more vegetables. Some people even give up meat directly and focus on vegetarian food, but in fact, this approach is not advisable.

Grandma Liu, who lives in Jiangsu, has always been a religious believer. It can be said that she is a vegetarian all year round. Her usual spirit and energy were not bad, but she was found to be undernourished during a recent physical examination. The doctor told her that if this is the case, May be targeted by sarcopenia .

1. It's hard to buy a thousand pieces of gold to get old and thin? Don't underestimate "Sarcopenia"

The saying that "a thousand dollars can't buy old and thin" has spread among people, which has led many elderly people to regard thinness as a healthy body, but they must be alert to sarcopenia. In Shanghai, China, male patients with sarcopenia over the age of 70 account for 12.3%, and females account for 4.8%. According to statistics, 50 million people worldwide suffer from sarcopenia. It is estimated that by 2050, the number of patients with sarcopenia will reach 500 million around .

Sarcopenia is also known as sarcopenia. With the increase of age, the skeletal muscle mass of the human body will also decrease, and the phenomenon of muscle strength and muscle function will decrease. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and other common chronic diseases have caused serious troubles to the life of the elderly, and even affected the life expectancy of the elderly, so blindly pursuing thinness is not a wise move.

Second, after the age of 60, how much weight can you live the longest?

After the age of 60, all parts of the human body will show signs of aging and degeneration, and will be one step closer to death. So after the age of 60, how much weight can you live the longest?

A survey of European scientists found that there is also a certain relationship between weight and mortality, and a U-shaped curve was formed between the two. The analysis found that the standard weight of people under the age of 60 (body mass index BMI between 18.5-24.9 ) lived longer and had a lower mortality rate, with the lowest mortality rate among those over 60 who were overweight (BMI 25-29.9).

So why does being slightly overweight after the age of 60 live longer? Body mass index BMI, which is calculated by dividing weight by the square of height, can be used to reflect systemic overweight and obesity. Experts believe that most overweight people have better nutritional status and are more able to withstand diseases, so they are more likely to live longer.

3. Middle-aged and elderly people want to live longer, they must learn to eat

Longevity is probably everyone's wish. For middle-aged and elderly people, if you want to live a long life, you must learn to eat!

1. Don't eat too much oil

The intake of fat at dinner must be reduced, otherwise it will be difficult to digest before going to bed, which will easily lead to fat accumulation, and will gradually be troubled by obesity.

2. Protein intake can not be less

Protein is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is recommended to have protein for dinner, such as chicken, fish, etc., which can not only supplement high-quality protein, but also help lose weight.

3. It is best to have dinner at 6:00 to 7:00

It is recommended to control the dinner time from 6:00 to 7:00 in the evening. Eating at this time can reserve time for food digestion, and it will not affect sleep.

Do you think a thousand pieces of gold can't buy you old and thin? Don't think that being thin is necessarily good. People who are a little overweight after the age of 60 live longer, and people who have been vegetarian for a long time must have small cardiomyopathy. If middle-aged and elderly people want to live longer, they must learn to eat properly.
