Summary: According to the World Health Organization's classification, people between the ages of 45 and 59 are classified as middle-aged, and those over 60 years old are classified as elderly. At the age of 20~25 years, the physiological function of the body reaches the heyday of life, after a short period of stability, about 30 years old, the function of various organ systems of the human body begins to slowly decay, decreasing by about 1% per year, so people must "eat well" and supplement various nutrients to the body when they reach middle and old age.
And on dog days, because of the hot climate, high temperature and humidity climate, many people's appetite is worse, and even some people casually steam some rice and eat pickles or cook some noodles to deal with it, in fact, this is not right.
