Beware of reduced nutritional status!
With aging, the nutritional status of the body decreases.
Decreased nutritional status can lead to loss of muscle mass and muscle strength, such as fatigue, slow walking speed, and weakening of grabbing power.
This leads to a decrease in the amount of activity.
In addition, it leads to a vicious cycle, such as a decrease in the amount of food and loss of appetite.
Senior Generation and Nutrition
The amount of energy needed to live well does not decrease much even when you become a senior.
It takes a lot of energy to convert proteins from meals into tissues of the body.
Be careful with your diet to prevent muscle weakness due to aging.
