Al-Marsad Newspaper: Dr. Yelena Solomatina, a Russian nutrition expert, revealed that the monotonous diet is the main mistake in the diet of the elderly.
Solomatina explained that the body may suffer from a lack of some useful substances, when eating the same foodstuffs daily, so we must diversify the foodstuffs that we eat.
And she continued: “The food must contain a high percentage of protein, fats and carbohydrates,” indicating: The best source of carbohydrates in order to obtain the necessary energy is vegetables, fruits, and whole wheat bread, according to the “Izvestia” newspaper.
And she continued: The elderly should add cheese, peas, lentils, chickpeas and chicken meat to their diet, noting: You must eat useful fats that affect the work of hormones, and eggs, rabbit meat and turkey can be added to the diet.
