Why are different foods for different age groups? When you are young, your body is in the best condition no matter what you eat, but as you get older, your body that responds to eating changes.

In fact, prominent nutritionists in the United States have mentioned that 'the most necessary nutrients in our bodies vary every 10 years'. As food consumed by age group has emerged as a major issue, let's find out the foods and nutrients that should be consumed by age.

30s, iron intake first!

Iron is the most needed nutrient for people in their 30s who are easily stressed by work life, frequent dinners, overtime work, and stress!

iron also helps recover from chronic fatigue, but sometimes increases concentration and immunity. In particular, it is common to suffer from fatigue and anemia if you lack iron during pregnancy. Iron pills are sometimes taken separately, but eating them as food has the best absorption rate.

1. Broccoli

Usually, when it comes to foods high in iron, it is easy to think of spinach, but in fact, the iron content of spinach is 2.5 to 4.2 mg per 100g, similar to that of other vegetables. It even has a low absorption rate in the body because it contains aquatic ingredients that interfere with iron absorption.

However, broccoli is considered the true "king of iron" among vegetables because it has twice as much iron as spinach. Of course, it is best to eat it raw, but if it is too much to eat, you can eat most of the nutritional value contained even if it is lightly cooked.

2. Meat

  

If you pick the best iron, it's good to eat the iron in meat. This is because 30-40% of the iron in meat is absorbed from our body, compared to 5-15% iron absorption in vegetables. If you want to increase the absorption rate further, you can further increase the absorption of iron by adding various vegetables rich in vitamin C or using a dressing with lemon.

40s, potassium intake comes first!

It is a time when prevention and management are needed because people in their 40s have lower metabolism than those in their 30s and are vulnerable to diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes due to weight gain. The essential nutrient to be consumed at this time is potassium, which lowers blood pressure and helps discharge sodium, which causes high blood pressure.

  

1. Apology

Apples, one of the representative potassium-containing foods, are not only rich in dietary fiber but also contain vitamin C, which is good for skin beauty and for the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure.  Also good for high blood pressure but also reduces the risk of eye disease and kidney stones! This is because potassium also protects eye tissue and increases bone density.

2. Avocado

Avocado, called

“Forest Butter,” is a food that contains more than 35% potassium than bananas and is filled with high-quality nutrients, including vitamins, fiber and vegetable fat. The potassium contained in avocados lowers blood cholesterol and helps prevent eye diseases, prostate cancer, and dementia.

50s, vitamin and omega-3 intake first!

#54 For those in their 50s, prevention of diseases and menopause caused by aging is paramount. In the case of women, good vitamins and antioxidants that prevent aging should be taken because menopause overlaps, bones weaken, and depression can occur.

1. Salmon 

Body changes as estrogen levels drop after menopause. Omega 3 in salmon helps reduce heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps prevent osteoporosis, and has an anti-cancer effect as well as an effect of preventing muscle degeneration due to old age.

2. Almond

  

In the #70s and 50s, eating nuts is recommended because the amount of free radicals in the body that promote aging and cause diseases increases. This is because the abundant selenium contained in nuts plays a role in delaying aging by removing free radicals from our bodies.

In addition to unsaturated fat, various nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins, and strong antioxidants are evenly contained, so you can eat nutrients that are lacking as you enter old age.

#74 As you get older by one or two years, there’s no problem that concerns you as much as your health. How much do you know about your eating habits? Just eating the right food for each age group can prevent aging and disease. Let’s take the first step in preventing aging and disease!
