These days, they have been asking a lot about their age, let me just remind you that if you are 39 and above, this is completely about you, today in health we are focusing on the whole issues of focusing on food, I don't know anymore that nutrition is important.
If 40 years is a very important age and an important stage in anyone's life, it often comes with adjustments that need to be made to improve the health of the individual.
Have you ever thought about why many people from the age of 40 onwards face various health challenges, something that is strange compared to the 90s when problems such as kidney, heart, diabetes did not appear in abundance among people of that age as it is right now.
despite the importance of good nutrition for humans, there are still many things to consider, among people aged 40 and over, as they should consume some foods that are beneficial for building their bodies.
Various experts have discussed the importance of good nutrition by classifying what kind of foods people of that age should consider in improving their health.
The "Healthy Eating" website has explained that for people over the age of 40, they should consume foods such as plant-based milk, carrots, fruits, as well as protein foods such as soybeans.
However, the "Holmes place" website has also explained some of the foods that people of that age should eat, including the use of broccoli, the use of various spices such as ginger, and even protein foods.
However, despite the importance of nutrition for the human body, experts often provide education on the benefits of good nutrition and the amount of food that a person should eat for their health.
Speaking to Mwananchi Scoop, Temeke District Nutrition Officer DK Charles Malale said that a person who has reached 40 years of age or older should use a complete diet that is a combination of all five food groups.
In addition to the fact that the person will consume a complete meal with a combination of all five food groups, he must be using more foods that build and strengthen the body from those five groups.
"More consumption of vegetables for people of the mentioned age helps them more because they contain minerals and vitamins that help protect and strengthen the body" said Malale
Dr. Malale also said that as age increases, the digestive system's performance decreases, which is why people over 40 years old are advised to eat foods that are easy to digest.
"The use of non-threshed grains such as corn, sorghum, sorghum, wheat, leguminous plants, especially soybeans, as well as the use of fruits," he said.
Despite this, Dr. Malale said, people should reduce eating food that is stored in cans.
"Reducing the amount of salt in food, even reducing the consumption of meat, nuts and butter" said Malale
Controlling the use of herbal medicines or hospital medicines without doctor's instructions as they are dangerous to health
However, Nutritionist from Muhimbili Hospital Asina Yusuf said, a person aged from 40 needs good nutrition that will make him healthy and strong.
"For people aged 40 and above, they should avoid fried foods because they cause harm to the body if they consume a lot" said Asina
The use of chicken, fish, meat, banana, potato seasonings as an alternative to these fried recipes is baking and roasting.
People should stop enjoying the taste of a lot of oil, instead use food ingredients to improve the taste and cook with less oil, he said.
However, foods with different nutrients provide a person with different nutrients, so different fruits are advised to be used in abundance for people of the mentioned age.
Using these foods helps reduce the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and heart disease.
