Calcium and protein are key to health and avoiding diseases at a certain age. What to eat for breakfast.


A varied and balanced

diet

at any age is crucial to ensure good health.

However, this concept gains even more importance

after the age of 50

.

And as is known,

breakfast 

is considered the most important meal of the day.

With the increase in life expectancy, the advice to lead a healthy life is the order of the day in the elderly, a stage in which the metabolism slows down, the bones tend to weaken, muscle mass decreases

and the risk of osteoporosis increases.


The decrease in collagen, the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines, are effects of the passage of time and the arrival of old age.

The Galveston diet can help you avoid weight gain before menopause.

"When we eat certain foods, the elasticity of the skin can start to take its toll, leading to sagging," says nutritionist

Lisa Richards

"The Candida Diet."

Those who enter this cycle should adopt habits for the health of the body and a healthy diet, as well as start doing physical activity, suggest specialists.

before making a decision, it is advisable to visit a doctor

to adopt the best treatment. 

It is worth mentioning that even though a person has had healthy habits for a large part of his life, it does not mean that these prevent the development of certain diseases, but rather that they reduce the risk of suffering from them.

For this reason, health institutions urge to maintain healthy routines for the body and counteract conditions.


Changes after 50 years

Collagen is a protein that the body stops producing after the age of 25, which is why people over 30, 40 and 50 years of age show marks such as

expression lines on their face

, natural signs that for some are very annoying.

or osteoporosis.

It is also necessary to mention the

menopause

, which women experience from the age of 45, with a hormonal imbalance in their body.

It is a stage of life where the production of hormones decreases, as a consequence: the withdrawal of menstruation, explains MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine of the United States.

The increase in weight and fat in the abdominal area after menopause has to do with the slow metabolism of a woman at that age, so it is vital to eat a balanced diet.

"In the case of women over 50, experts

recommend 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of weight

," says the American health and research entity.


In addition, incorporating

vitamin B12

should be relevant because the body no longer absorbs the amounts it should.
