Autumn is high and cool, and the weather is clear. In this harvest season, the old man Wang Dehai rode his bicycle to the community center as always.
At the age of 77, although his pace has slowed down, his spirit has not slackened at all. As a senior member of the activity center, he is always the first to arrive to serve tea and water to everyone, and chat about family life.
"Hey, fresh jujubes are on the market again!" Wang Dehai bravely held up a bag of bright red jujubes, which attracted a burst of admiration from everyone. The old people are fond of jujubes, which are highly nutritious and delicious ingredients.
At this moment, a doctor Lu walked in at the door of the center. As a community doctor in a nearby street, Dr. Lu had just given Wang Dehai a physical examination a few days ago, so he came for Grandpa Wang today.
"Ade, the last time I checked you, didn't you find that your blood sugar was a little high? So I'm going to come over today to tell you a few words. Dr. Lu touched Wang Dehai's shoulder and said seductively.
"Although jujube is highly nutritious, it also contains quite a lot of sugar. At your age, there is a high incidence of diabetes, so you should avoid it appropriately and reduce your intake. "
The old man Wang Dehai was stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but widen: "What? What's that going on? Red dates are my favorite, and they are indispensable every day. "
"In addition to red dates, you'd better also eat less foods with too much sugar and refined starch, such as candied fruits, pastries and the like." Dr. Lu patiently explained, "These foods are too high in calories, and eating too much of them will only increase your risk of diabetes. "
Everyone on the side applauded when they heard it, and they all said that the doctor was very reasonable. After all, the physical function of the elderly is declining, and it is true that some foods that are not friendly to the body should be moderated.
After listening to Dr. Lu's advice, Wang Dehai was thoughtful. As an elderly diabetic, you should really pay attention to it and control your diet.
Out of concern for his health, the old man Wang Dehai has eaten less red dates and pastries since that day. Gradually, not only did his body improve day by day, but his originally somewhat vain spirit became more and more full.
One day, Wang Dehai specially asked Dr. Lu to catch up with the old days and ask him for some suggestions on a nutritionally balanced diet.
"The elderly should not only control their calorie intake, but also ensure their nutritional needs, so it is best to eat more fresh vegetables, high-quality protein, etc."
Dr. Lu recommended to Wang Dehai, "For example, soy products, fish and shrimp, lean meat, etc., these foods are very good for the body. In addition, it is important to exercise more effectively to control blood sugar. "
Wang Dehai carefully noted down Dr. Lu's advice. Since then, his table has been filled with fresh vegetables and high-quality egg whites, and even his wife is full of praise.
At the same time, he also insists on taking a walk in the neighborhood every day to move his muscles and bones. The days slipped by in a regular and orderly routine and diet.
You see, by moderately controlling sugar and refined starch, and ensuring the replenishment of nutrients such as protein, coupled with scientific exercise, Wang Dehai's body is improving day by day, and even if he is old, he can maintain a vigorous and upward mental state.
As Dr. Luk said, by maintaining good lifestyle habits and following the principles of a healthy diet, the elderly can also live a wonderful old age.
