Elderly people are ideal for "beef bowl" and "hamburger".
In modern Japan, there are many people who "hate to gain weight".As the idea of eating vegetables and simple meals leads to health, Mr. Mutsumi Nosue, an active doctor, says, "People who have passed the 60th birthday are the ideal body form that is about mild obesity."It's called.Let's look at the reason.

After the 60th birthday, the concept of "ideal body type" should be changed
Many patients who consult home medical care are "malnourished". Statistics have been taken in various places, but in all surveys, about 80 % of people may have malnutrition or poor nutrition. I think it's been a long time since Japan is a satiety Japan, but for the elderly, there is a very severe situation. Why is this? In today's Japan, there is a tendency for young people to avoid extremely fat, for example, comparing the body type of the current female idol and the idol about 20 years ago, the modern idol is obviously thin. increase. Also, in the so -called middle -aged, many people have a disease called lifestyle -related diseases, and when it comes to dietary guidance, we focus on how to reduce calories and reduce salt. For this reason, the idea that "thinning is good" and "it is better to reduce carbohydrates as a vegetable -based diet" is spreading throughout Japan. Until the 60th birthday, I think this idea is very important. However, after the 60th birthday, it has been found that mild obesity (BMI (BODYMASSINDEX) is around 26) is ideal. BMI is required to divide the weight (kg) by the square of height (m), so please calculate your BMI. I am 64 years old, but weigh 87kg, height 1.8m, 27 BMI. In the future, I would like to exercise while maintaining or increasing muscle mass while keeping weight flat. Thus, even after the 60th birthday, those who do not have illness or injuries are relatively easy to keep mildly obese, but they suffer from illness and injuries and need to visit after treatment. As mentioned earlier, 80 % of the people have become malnourished. In other words, many people lose weight in a fighting illness up to visiting medical treatment. Or you lose your muscles. In this way, if a person who was originally thin and nutritious began to receive home medical care, or a person who was originally in good nutrition or obesity, became nutritious in a fighting illness. In the case of home medical care, how to improve the bad nutritional status is a major solution.
