What should I do to maintain a healthy body? Seiichi Hirasawa, a doctor, says, “There are many cases where people who think they are eating a well-balanced diet are malnourished. To live a long life, it is important to take in the three nutrients that tend to be deficient.”

After the age of 70, your diet will inevitably become thinner.
Do any of you have the following thoughts?
“As I get older, I don’t have much of an appetite these days.”
“Even if I eat, I feel full soon.”
“Since I got dentures, I can no longer eat hard foods.”
“Preparing meals is troublesome”
As you get older, your digestive system, especially your gastrointestinal system, will inevitably deteriorate, and you will tend to eat less. This is because the muscles of the stomach and intestines and the amount of secretion of digestive enzymes weaken, and even if food enters, the stomach does not expand well, and the power to carry and digest food weakens.
As a result, you tend to feel full all the time and feel full soon after eating, which can lead to a decrease in appetite.
In addition, when muscle strength weakens and it becomes difficult to go out or move the body, the amount of exercise decreases and it becomes difficult to feel hungry, resulting in eating less.
There are many people who can only eat soft foods that can be swallowed without chewing too much because their teeth are weak or dentures do not fit well, and there are many people who find it troublesome to prepare meals and end up with soba, udon, and rice bowls.
However, don’t give up because you’re old.
If you reduce the amount of food you eat or stick to single items such as soft foods such as soba, udon, and rice bowls, you will inevitably end up with malnutrition.
And if this condition continues, it will seriously damage your health.
