Scientific researches reveal that high protein, coffee and nuts are important for our lives.
Dutch researchers at the University of Groningen found that consuming large amounts of protein in old age protects against heart failure and reduces the risk of premature death. They talked about it at the World Congress dedicated to acute heart failure, held in Vienna.
Meat
Çalışma katılımcıları 11 Avrupa ülkesinden 2.281 yaşlı idi. Ortalama yaş 68 idi. Yaklaşık iki yıl sonra, az miktarda protein tüketenlerde (günde 40 gramdan az), katılımcıların% 31’i ölmüştür. Günde 70 gramdan fazla protein tüketenlerin ölüm riski% 18’e düştü. Böbreklerin yaşı ve işlevi gibi faktörleri dikkate alarak, düşük miktarlarda protein kullanımı ile ölüm riski %46 oranında artmıştır. Araştırmacılara göre, protein kalp kaslarının rejenerasyonu için gereklidir. Yaşla birlikte, vücut daha az verimli protein kullanır, bu yüzden yüksek içeriğe sahip olan gıda durumu iyileştirmeye yardımcı olur.
Selenium, walnuts, hazelnuts
Selenium-rich products are also very useful. Chinese scientists recently described the benefits of this substance. In the human body, selenium interacts with biological membranes, vitamins and enzymes, is involved in the regulation of metabolism, the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, and oxidation-reduction processes. Selenium is part of the proteins of muscle tissue-water, myocardial proteins. In addition, selenium promotes the formation of triiodothyronine (thyroid hormones). Selenium is also necessary for the normal functioning of the immune system. It is involved in the mechanisms of fighting viral infections, including HIV. In addition, it promotes the absorption of iodine in the body.
Researchers examined a number of studies on selenium and discovered that its deficiency in the body contributes to earlier deterioration of cognitive functions, premature aging and premature death.
Selenium enters the body with both plant and animal food. A lot of selenium is found in cereals (oatmeal and wheat flakes, wheat bran), olive oil, vegetables (garlic, tomatoes), nuts (especially Brazil), pocket and mushrooms, fish and seafood (squid, shrimp, oysters), beef kidneys. and also available in liver, sea salt, chicken eggs.
Diet
When the Mediterranean diet, which has become popular in recent years, emerged, studies conducted in Italy revealed that patients who consumed a lot of olive oil and fruits had less depressive symptoms. In addition; The Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of estrogen-independent breast cancer tumors by one-third, which account for almost half of all breast cancers and have the worst survival rates. The Mediterranean diet is rich in olive oil, fish, fruit, nuts, vegetables, and grains, and includes a fine selection of red meat, sugar, and grains such as white rice or white bread.
Coffee
Scientists have repeatedly said about the benefits of coffee. Its moderate consumption can prolong life. Studies show that the higher the coffee consumption, the lower the risk of dying from any disease. Also, coffee lovers have a healthier liver. Lead author of the study, Dr. "We've learned that consuming more coffee is associated with better liver function and immune response," said Mark Gunter. Researchers from the University of South Carolina had similar results. According to their studies, coffee consumption reduces the risk of death from heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease in representatives of all races. People who drink at least one cup of coffee a day are at a lower risk of dying % 12 earlier than those who don't drink coffee at all. Three cups of coffee a day reduces the risk by % by 18. At the same time, the reduction in risk of death was not dependent on whether the participants drank regular coffee or were decaffeinated. So, with caffeine, apparently, this effect is not due. However, it should be kept in mind that some factors other than nutrition affect lifespan. A low life expectancy, for example, can be genetically determined – certain genes are responsible for the extent to which stress and depressed mood affect life expectancy. Experiments on animals have shown that the use of antidepressants makes it possible to correct their effects.
