Women with severe menopausal symptoms must eat well to maintain a healthy lifespan. Above all, you must be careful about diseases related to blood vessels, muscles, and inflammation. How can I protect my body beyond middle age and into old age? [사진=게티이미지뱅크]Middle age is a time when the body of both men and women fluctuates. In particular, women who have more severe menopausal symptoms than men need to eat well to maintain a healthy lifespan. Above all, you must be careful about diseases related to blood vessels, muscles, and inflammation. How can I protect my body beyond middle age and into old age?
Lean meat that is easily absorbed by the body… Maintaining muscle loss each year
Lean meat is meat made up of only the flesh that has been removed without any bones, fat, or tendons. Middle-aged women eat less meat for various reasons, including weight loss, and they must consume it in appropriate amounts for health. This is because you need to protect your muscles, which are shrinking every year. Highly efficient protein that is easily absorbed by the body is of animal origin, such as meat. However, considering the age at which the risk of vascular disease increases, fatty parts such as fat containing a lot of saturated fat should be removed. Beef-pork meat, skinless chicken, etc. are good.
An unexpected function of pork… Control of nervous functions, such as forgetfulness
In particular, pork has a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids than beef or chicken, resulting in lower cholesterol levels. According to the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, pork contains 10 times more vitamin B1 than beef, so it can be said to be the optimal meat as a source of vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and nerve control, so if it is lacking, fatigue substances (lactic acid) can accumulate and physical strength decline can occur. In addition, glucose among carbohydrates is an energy source for the brain, and if there is a lack of vitamin B1, nerve function may decline and cause forgetfulness. The daily requirement for vitamin B1 is 1.1 to 1.3 mg, which is equivalent to about 120 g of pork.
Representative vegetable proteins, soybeans and tofu… Blood pressure regulation, blood vessel protection
Soybean food is a food that can protect blood vessels and muscles while controlling weight. As a representative vegetable protein, it is good for maintaining and strengthening muscles and contains anti-hypertensive peptides, which contribute to controlling blood pressure. Phytic acid helps prevent cardiovascular disease. Isoflavones, which relieve symptoms in menopausal women, cannot be left out. Tofu and cheonggukjang made from soybeans also have similar effects. However, it is important to cook it so that it is not salty.
I ate it with onions… Fat-cholesterol suppression, blood sugar control
Onions go well with meat and food. Quercetin prevents fat and cholesterol from meat from accumulating in the body and also contributes to preventing inflammation. Chromium improves carbohydrate (glucose) metabolism and promotes insulin action, helping control blood sugar. In addition, onions are rich in glutathione, which helps the absorption of vitamin B1, which is consumed when drinking alcohol, and helps break down fat in the liver.
It’s expensive these days… Vascular protective effects of apples
Recently, apples are so expensive that people only do ‘eye shopping’. It’s unfortunate, but apples are a particularly good fruit for middle-aged women. It is rich in dietary fiber (pectin), which helps prevent arteriosclerosis and stroke (cerebral infarction – cerebral hemorrhage) by discharging neutral fat and bad cholesterol (LDL) that accumulate in blood vessels and increasing good cholesterol (HDL). Additionally, the quercetin component in apples has the effect of protecting the lungs and bronchial tubes from air pollutants (data from the National Cancer Information Center). I hope that the price of apples will stabilize quickly so that we can eat them without burden.
