00:00A reminder before watching the video
00:01Popular websites have more content!
00:04In traditional Chinese society
00:06Many people enjoy hearing others praise them.
00:09Wow, you've lost weight recently!
00:13But in fact, losing weight is a real thing.
00:16If it happens to someone over 65 years old
00:20This so-called praise
00:21From a medical perspective, this would likely be a disaster.
00:25Why?
00:26Taiwanese media recently quoted a local nutritionist
00:29Zeng Jianmin mentioned
00:30Want to live a long life
00:31Perhaps it would be better for elders to be a little chubby.
00:35Because, according to the medical journal The Lancet
00:38A publication was once published
00:39A study of more than 3 million adults showed
00:42Among people over 60 years old
00:44BMI (Body Mass Index) measures body fat and health.
00:48Elderly people between 24 and 27.9
00:51Compared to that BMI index, it is less than 18.5.
00:54That is, the group that celebrates their birthday.
00:56His risk of death is lower.
00:59But in fact, the BMI you see is...
01:02If it exceeds 20 times
01:04This already falls into the category of being overweight.
01:06But visually it looks
01:08You will only feel that one person
01:10I'm just a little chubby.
01:12The other document contains a team from the Geriatrics Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
01:16Follow-up data from 1,200 elderly people in China
01:20It was also found that
01:21Survival rate of the slightly overweight group within five years
01:24It is superior to the underweight group
01:26In other words, when you think being thin is a blessing
01:28But what is the reality?
01:29A BMI index above 24 indicates excessive weight.
01:32A little bit of fat
01:33Perhaps that is the real blessing.
01:36Losing weight might actually be your body sending out a distress signal.
01:39Of course I heard that!
01:41Don't be too smug if you're a little chubby.
01:44Because this is not an encouragement for you to overeat.
01:47Instead, we want to tell you that slightly overweight elders are actually storing up nutrients.
01:51What if you catch a bad cold or need surgery?
01:55The body still has the resources to fight off illness.
01:58Yes
01:58If you still manage to become as thin as a lightning bolt when you're old...
02:03Your body is like a car with a nearly empty gas tank.
02:07It might mop the floor or turn off at any time.
02:10When facing serious illness and pain
02:12We simply don't have the resources to weather these storms.
02:15So-called "family background" depends on whether you have enough muscle.
02:22quantity
02:22By the way
02:22Because when a person is sick and has inflammation...
02:25It means you need enough muscle mass to fight off disease.
02:28People who are too thin don't have the strength to fight off disease.
02:31good
02:32How do you know if you have enough muscle mass to support yourself through life?
02:36Halftime
02:37Now everyone can pick up their thumbs and index fingers.
02:41Wrap it around the thickest part of your calves and let it cool down.
02:44If your fingers can't wrap around the whole arm
02:47If the calf is larger than the circumference of the arm...
02:51Your risk of developing sarcopenia is relatively low.
02:55But look at the picture from the other side...
02:57If you wrap your fingers around your calf...
03:00It can not only form a circle
03:02There are even gaps
03:04If it allows you to easily slide up and down your calves
03:07Be careful!
03:08You are at high risk of sarcopenia.
03:12So everyone
03:12This is one of the simplest in the medical field.
03:15How to test if you might have sarcopenia
03:18The data mentions that once you are over 30 years old
03:21Muscle mass is lost at a rate of 3% per year.
03:25By the time you're 80, you might have lost half of your muscle mass.
03:28This is why grandpas and grandmas are getting thinner and thinner.
03:32Human muscles are very difficult to resist the effects of aging.
03:35Once you contract a muscle disease that has been recognized by the medical community in recent years...
03:39Occasionally
03:40This means the patient's metabolism has deteriorated, making them more prone to falls.
03:43It may even increase the risk of dementia.
03:45In other words, if you can maintain firm thighs even as you get older...
03:49This is why your golden crown in your later years is the true trump card against aging.
03:54Determines the depth of your later life
03:57Okay, as we mentioned at the beginning...
03:58Being slightly overweight is a way to build up resources and strength to fight disease.
04:04Next, everyone should pay attention to your thighs.
04:06Rather, it's the thickness of the calves.
04:08To observe whether there is sufficient muscle mass
04:10Avoid developing sarcopenia
04:12It's easy to fall in old age.
04:14All of this is to remind everyone
04:16The underlying logic for living a long life is...
04:18You need to have enough muscle mass.
04:21Therefore, many doctors now remind people...
04:24Elderly people should never blindly pursue a bland diet.
04:28I'm worried about high cholesterol.
04:30I dare not eat egg yolks, and I dare not touch meat.
04:33This resulted in a severe deficiency in protein intake.
04:35Muscle loss happens faster than you can save money!
04:39What about daily diet?
04:41You should eat enough protein to get your money's worth.
04:44Combine that with moderate squats.
04:46Or resistance training such as brisk walking.
04:48In the second half of life
04:50Please make sure your muscles are well-developed.
04:52Only then can slightly chubby
04:54Transform into muscle mass that protects health
04:56Instead of just having a big belly
04:59No leg fat
05:00It wouldn't be good if everyone ended up losing out.
05:03OK
