The function of human organs and the normal metabolism of cells depend on the supply of essential nutrients. Insufficient nutrition can cause many diseases and make people ageing. Excessive nutrition can also cause problems for the elderly. Such as obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, gallbladder disease, arteriosclerosis and so on. Excessive eating and excess weight have been linked to colon, prostate, and breast cancers. A hearty diet does not necessarily prolong life. Malnutrition includes two concepts of undernutrition and overnutrition. Therefore, the nutritional intake of the elderly can neither be deficient nor excessive. The elderly should pay attention to nutrition is determined by their special physiological conditions.
The physiological changes of the elderly are characterized by aging, that is, the aging and degeneration of various organ systems of the body. For example, due to the decline of the nervous system, in addition to the slow response to the external environment, the regulation of metabolic functions in the body is weakened, which affects the absorption and utilization of certain nutrients. For example, the ability of the elderly to store glycogen is reduced, and the liver glycogen is reduced. Once the glucose is insufficient, hypoglycemia is prone to coma. Others such as cardiovascular aging make cholesterol and apolipoprotein metabolism abnormal and accelerate arteriosclerosis. The deterioration of renal function can easily lead to the loss of certain vitamins and inorganic salts, and the deposition of inorganic salts makes the elderly more prone to kidney stones and bladder stones. The degeneration of the digestive organs weakens the stomach tension, weakens the peristalsis, and reduces the secretion of digestive juices, which directly affects the digestion, absorption and utilization of nutrients. Insufficient nutrient supply and insufficient calories in the elderly will aggravate the decomposition of protein in the body, make the elderly lose weight, become weak, and accelerate the aging process. The quality of the diet of the elderly is not good, and the type of diet is not complete, and malnutrition and anemia are prone to occur. For example, insufficient vitamin bl will affect the utilization of carbohydrates. Conversely, eating too much food will accumulate fat in the body and increase nitrogen-containing substances, which will increase the burden on the cardiovascular, digestive and urinary systems. Therefore, today's elderly people are generally beginning to pay attention to the rationality and scientificity of nutritional structure.
