Health experts and nutritionists have found in a large number of surveys that long-lived elderly people have ten hobbies in their daily diet.

1 Like to drink porridge. Judging from the eating habits, all long-lived elderly people like to drink porridge.

Economist Ma Yinchu and his wife Zhang Guijun, both centenarians, especially like to drink porridge.

Every morning, add 50 grams of oatmeal to 250 grams of boiling water and brew for 2 minutes to make porridge.

This happens every day, without interruption.

Mr. Su Juxian, a centenarian in Shanghai, drinks rice porridge for three meals a day, thin porridge in the morning and evening, and slightly thicker porridge at noon. Each meal is rationed to a shallow bowl, which has formed a habit.

They said: "Drinking porridge makes the whole body feel comfortable and is good for the body." Doctors and health experts of all ages have highly recommended porridge for the elderly.

"Suixiju Diet" says: "Porridge is the first nourishing food in the world." Porridge is easy to digest and absorb, and can harmonize the stomach, nourish the spleen, clear the lungs, and moisturize the lower body.

Cao Cishan, a health expert in the Qing Dynasty, said: "When you are old, you can have solar eclipse porridge. Regardless of meals, you can stay strong and enjoy a long life." He compiled more than 100 kinds of porridge recipes for the elderly to choose from, which was very popular among the elderly.

2. Millet is a tonic for the elderly. The elderly like millet the most and regard millet as a good tonic.

Millet is the granular grain after peeling the millet. It has always been known as "all kinds of grains, with millet as the first".

Frail and sick elderly people often use millet to nourish their bodies.

Chinese medicine believes that millet benefits the five internal organs, thickens the intestines and stomach, fills body fluids, strengthens bones and muscles, and grows muscles.

A famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty said: "Millet is the most nourishing. Rice oil when cooking rice porridge is better than ginseng soup." It can be seen that it makes sense for long-lived old people to like "rice".

3. Pearl corn as staple food. Corn, also known as corn, corn, pearl jade, etc., is known as the world's three major crops along with rice and wheat. It is a world-recognized "golden crop" and is also a staple food that long-lived elderly people cannot live without.

The American Medical Association conducted a census and found that none of the indigenous Indians in the United States had high blood pressure or arteriosclerosis.

It turns out that I eat old corn.

Medical scientists found in research that old corn contains a large amount of lecithin, linoleic acid, cereal alcohol, and vitamin E, so it is not prone to high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.

Judging from the physique of long-lived elderly people, they rarely have high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, which is closely related to their eating corn as their staple food.

4. One pound of milk a day. Drinking milk is a common habit of long-lived elderly people, especially those living in cities.

It is said that there are currently 25,000 centenarians in the United States, 80% of whom are women, and their dietary habit is to drink milk.

An American proverb says: "Drinking milk makes your bones strong." Centenarian Benin drinks two cups of milk a day, sometimes more. Therefore, when she turns 100, she still has no signs of osteoporosis.

Milk is rich in nutrients and relatively comprehensive.

The lysine content in milk is high, the cholesterol content is low, and all carbohydrates are lactose, which can be converted into lactic acid in the intestines, which can inhibit the growth of putrefactive bacteria.

Milk is rich in calcium and has a high absorption rate. It also contains more vitamins A, D, riboflavin, etc., which are necessary and beneficial to the elderly.

Milk is made into cheese after fermentation. Eating cheese can prevent dental caries.

Drinking yogurt can lower cholesterol, so people who often drink yogurt are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease. It can also improve eyesight, strengthen teeth, and prevent cell aging.

5. Eat an egg every day. Eating an egg every day has become a common habit of long-lived elderly people.

The centenarian, economist Dr. Chen Hansheng, adheres to the "Three Ones" in his daily diet according to nutritional arrangements: "eat an egg in the morning, drink a glass of milk in the evening, and eat a big apple in the middle." He eats three meals a day, mostly vegetarian.

Eat less meat, arrange your diet scientifically, and eat healthily.

Nutritionists have determined that egg whites contain a large amount of water and protein.

Egg white protein is extremely rich in amino acids, and its composition ratio is very suitable for the needs of the human body. This protein is highly utilized in the human body.

Egg white protein has a repairing effect on liver tissue damage.

The lecithin in egg yolk can promote the regeneration of liver cells, increase the amount of human plasma protein, and enhance the body's metabolic function and immunity.

When lecithin is digested by the body, it releases choline, which can improve memory.

Egg yolk is rich in inorganic salts, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins.

Eggs contain a lot of cholesterol, and the fat is saturated fatty acid.

Eating too many eggs will greatly increase the intake of cholesterol, cause atherosclerosis and harm the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and increase the burden on the liver and kidneys.

So, just eat 1 or 2 a day.

Long-lived old people never eat too much.

6. Prefer sweet potatoes. Eating sweet potatoes is a favorite of long-lived elderly people.

The old man said: 1. "Sweet potatoes are a treasure, and you can't live without them." According to research by medical scientists, sweet potatoes have five major functions: 1. Harmonizing blood and nourishing the body, rich in nutrients; 2. Broadening intestinal ventilation, promoting defecation; 3. Replenishing qi and promoting body fluids, strengthening the body.

Immunity; 4. Contains anti-cancer substances, which can prevent and fight cancer; 5. Resist aging and prevent arteriosclerosis.

Medical scientists say that sweet potatoes contain a large amount of mucin, which can prevent the connective tissue of the liver and kidneys from shrinking and enhance the body's immunity.

It also has the effect of eliminating reactive oxygen species and preventing reactive oxygen species from inducing cancer.

And because sweet potatoes contain more calcium and magnesium, they can prevent osteoporosis.

It can be seen that sweet potatoes are worthy of being a dietary treasure for long-lived elderly people.

7 Tofu is a favorite food of the elderly. Elderly people generally like to eat tofu.

They said: "Fish makes fire, meat makes phlegm, cabbage and tofu keep you safe." "Suixiju Diet Manual" says: "It can be made everywhere, whether rich or poor, so I would like to ask the majority of vegetarian leaders. You can also eat meat dishes. Winter.
