Camel milk helps to solve the problem of malnutrition in the elderly

After many middle-aged and elderly people have physical examinations, they will be greatly surprised by the examination results of anemia, calcium deficiency and malnutrition. Their children will also feel particularly strange: under the current living conditions, the elderly can eat whatever they want. How can they still be malnourished? There are mainly the following reasons for the malnutrition phenomenon of middle-aged and elderly people: Low intake Loss of appetite: As people age, the sense of taste and smell of middle-aged and elderly people gradually decline, and their sensitivity to food decreases, resulting in a decrease in appetite. For example, delicacies that were originally loved now taste bland and insipid, naturally reducing food intake. Difficulty in chewing: Loose and missing teeth are common problems for middle-aged and elderly people, which makes them face difficulties in chewing food. Some harder foods are difficult to bite, and only soft and mushy foods can be chosen. However, such foods are often relatively single in variety and not rich enough in nutrients. Eating alone: Many middle-aged and elderly people live alone and lack companionship. Eating becomes a lonely act. Loneliness can affect appetite and make them feel no pleasure when eating, thus reducing food intake. Poor absorption Weakened digestive system function: The gastrointestinal peristalsis of middle-aged and elderly people slows down, and the secretion of digestive juices decreases. The ability to digest and absorb food is significantly reduced. For example, when food stays in the gastrointestinal tract for a longer time, it may lead to problems such as indigestion and abdominal distension, affecting the absorption of nutrients. Imbalance of intestinal flora: As people age, the beneficial flora in the intestines of middle-aged and elderly people gradually decreases and the harmful flora increases, which will affect the absorption and utilization of nutrients by the intestines. At the same time, imbalance of intestinal flora may also cause problems such as intestinal inflammation, further damaging intestinal function. Diseases affect absorption: Some chronic diseases, such as diabetes and kidney disease, can affect the absorption of nutrients by middle-aged and elderly people. For example, diabetic patients may have problems in the utilization of nutrients due to poor blood sugar control; kidney disease patients may affect the metabolism and excretion of nutrients such as protein due to impaired kidney function. Geriatric diseases Chronic diseases consume nutrients: Middle-aged and elderly people often suffer from various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. These diseases can lead to body metabolic disorders and consume a large amount of nutrients. Side effects of drugs: Middle-aged and elderly people often need to take multiple drugs for a long time to control diseases. Some drugs may affect appetite, digestion or the absorption of nutrients. Diseases limit diet: In order to control the disease, middle-aged and elderly people may need to follow special dietary restrictions. This greatly limits their choice of food and easily leads to nutritional imbalance. Be picky about food Solidified eating habits: Middle-aged and elderly people often have long-term formed eating habits that are difficult to change. Some people may only like to eat certain kinds of food due to personal taste preferences and reject other foods. For example, some middle-aged and elderly people only love to eat pasta and rarely consume other foods such as vegetables, fruits, and meat, resulting in nutritional imbalance. Resistance to new foods: Middle-aged and elderly people are often relatively resistant to new foods and cooking methods and are unwilling to try them. This makes their range of food choices become narrow and it is difficult to obtain rich nutrition. For example, some middle-aged and elderly people may never have tried foods such as seafood and whole grains, missing the nutrition provided by these foods. Cognitive bias: Some middle-aged and elderly people have cognitive biases about the nutritional value of food. They think that certain foods have special effects and overeat them; or they think that certain foods are unhealthy and completely avoid eating them. For example, some middle-aged and elderly people may think that taking health products can meet the body's nutritional needs and ignore the importance of a normal diet. How can middle - aged and elderly people supplement nutrition? Among the many products for supplementing calcium, protein and nutrition, camel milk does have unique advantages for middle-aged and elderly people.
