Eat more meat after 50, according to a new study in Japan

Many old people's diets are mainly light, with less meat and more vegetables, but Japanese experts have recently warned that after the age of 50, old people should eat more meat Xiong tanxiu, a professor at the University of human sciences in Japan, has been specializing in the relationship between aging and nutrition He said that it should be done by middle-aged people in their 40s or so to prevent the three higher life habit diseases by eating less meat and more vegetables, but it is not healthy to do so when they are 50 or 60 years old This is because eating less meat will lead to insufficient protein intake, muscle and bone recession, accelerate the aging process, and increase the risk of falls and heart disease According to a recent 7-year study conducted by Xiong Guxiu, the elderly people who improve their dietary structure and increase their meat intake have an increase in serum protein content and a decrease in death rate of 8%; while the elderly people who maintain their dietary structure and have more vegetables and less meat have a decrease in cognitive function and interpersonal communication ability five years later This view is also supported by Yoshiro Fujita, emeritus professor of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, in his new book "please eat more meat from the age of 50" He said that people who had less meat and more vegetables before the age of 50 should eat more meat after the age of 50 The conclusion comes from a survey of 400 people over 100 years old in Japan The survey results show that the average meat consumption of people over 100 years old who are still hale and hearty is higher than that of ordinary elderly people In his new book, Ichiro Fujita recommends eating steak or fish chops twice a week after age 50 (be careful not to choose pork chops with high fat content) to help delay aging.
