5 health risks when the elderly do not eat rice

HẠ MÂY (THEO ABOLUOWANG) |

Older adults should maintain a balanced diet, including moderate intake of rice and healthy amounts of protein, fat, vegetables, and fruits.

Nutritional imbalance

Rice provides a lot of carbohydrates, vitamins (especially B group), minerals such as iron, magnesium and fiber. Lack of these nutrients can affect health, leading to malnutrition, anemia and other problems.

Slow metabolism

Carbohydrates are one of the body's main sources of energy and are essential for maintaining normal physiological functions.

Reducing carbohydrate intake can lead to insufficient energy supply, affecting daily activities and even slowing down metabolism.

Blood sugar fluctuations

Too little carbohydrate can lead to hypoglycemia, which causes symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Impact on mental health

Long-term severe dietary restriction can have negative effects on an individual's mental health, such as increasing the risk of stress, anxiety, or depression.

Long-term health risks

Long-term strict eating habits can increase health risks such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and nutritional deficiencies.
