Spanish researchers have confirmed that eating more than three servings of over-processed food a day can have serious health effects.
products are not good partners in people's pantry, according to a September 9 report on the website of Spain's Al-Rational newspaper. Researchers at Spain's National Research Council (CSIC) Centre for Obesity and Nutrition Research have found that high intakes of these foods (equivalent to more than three servings a day) can lead to shorter telomeres and accelerate cell aging. The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
not the only finding, CSIC Epidemiology and Public Health Research Centre staff have also confirmed that eating super-processed foods is associated with an increased risk of developing debilitating syndrome in older people.
" weakness is a syndrome that is susceptible to older people and is characterized by involuntary weight loss, tiredness, muscle weakness, slow gait, and reduced physical activity. Javier Gomez Pavo, head of geriatrics at the Red Cross Hospital in Madrid and a member of the leadership group of the Spanish Society of Geriatrics, said. This weakness has a direct consequence because "the weaker you are, the greater the decline in your physical reserves, the greater your risk of adverse health events such as hospitalization and loss of function, disability, falls and even death".
this situation, experts believe that diet plays a vital role. "Inadequate protein intake, micronutrient deficiencies, and low calorie intake are directly related to loss of muscle mass. Thus, when undernourishment occurs, the body enters a process of breaking down metabolism, which destroys and metabolizes muscle proteins to gain energy, creating a weak vicious circle. Gomez Pavo said.
new research suggests that intake of processed foods such as snacks, biscuits, sweets, pizza, instant soups or processed meats is closely related to the weakness of older people. These foods are characterized by high energy density and low nutritional value, i.e. they provide many calories in the form of fat and sugar, while they provide few nutrients in the form of protein and micronutrients. They often contain excessive amounts of saturated trans fats and refined vegetable oils, such as sugar and salt, as well as additives, stabilizers, sweeteners, colors and flavorings. If you eat such food occasionally, it won't cause too many problems. But as they gradually become the basis of their diet, replacing fresh food or home-cooked food, danger arises.
of salt and sugar can also increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease in eaters.
Gomez Pavo said: "A Mediterranean diet is the most recommended, with lots of vegetables, plant-based beans and meat and fish, as well as too much red meat and blue fish, and a glass of wine at meal time. (Compile/Han Chao)
