Consumption of incompatible foods in old age can make it difficult to absorb various nutrients and microelements because the functions of a person’s enzyme systems deteriorate with age. About this “Moscow 24” said nutritionist, doctor of medical sciences Mariyat Mukhina.
So, in his opinion, it is undesirable to combine potatoes with meat, because in this case heavy protein foods and starchy carbohydrate product are mixed. The expert advises older people to combine meat with vegetables or quinoa and exclude potatoes from the diet.
“Banana cocktail with milk is not a good combination either. If we eat a banana and chew it for a long time, when it enters our stomach it is already digested, almost broken down by salivary enzymes. However, if we beat it with milk, mucus will form, which can inhibit peristalsis,” said Mukhina.
Also, the nutritionist continued, you should not mix coffee with milk and orange juice. This combination will reduce enzyme activity and create heaviness in the stomach. The last thing you need to eliminate from your diet is vegetable and animal fats.
“For example, in addition to fatty meat, we also eat hazelnut salad with olive oil. It could also be a cheese plate. Dairy products, vegetable and animal fats; this combination impairs the digestion and absorption of the protein itself,” the doctor concluded.
