Dietary recommendations for improving immunity for the elderly and patients with chronic diseases!

The elderly and people suffering from chronic diseases such as "three highs" should pay more attention to scientific diet.

First of all, it is important to emphasize that even during an epidemic, the original dietary habits for chronic diseases should still be maintained and should not be changed based on hearsay remedies.

In addition, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases should pay attention to the following in their diet.

The staple food should be a combination of coarse and fine, including polished rice and various coarse grains, miscellaneous grains, potatoes, miscellaneous beans, etc. The daily intake is 150-300g (raw weight).

Focus on increasing protein intake, including animal protein and plant protein. Many elderly people find it difficult to chew meat, so they can choose milk, eggs, fish, shrimp, and soy products that are easier to eat.

Adults should consume 100g of fish and shrimp, 25-35g of soybeans, and 300ml of milk per day. They should also consume 300-500g of vegetables and 200-350g of fruit per day. Cooking methods should be light, with less oil and salt.

During an epidemic, weight should be monitored daily to prevent weight gain.

At the same time, you should pay attention to the balance between eating and exercise, and take medicines on time.

If conditions permit, you should engage in regular, moderate-intensity exercise for more than 30 minutes every day.
