Healthy meals for middle-aged men.

Introduction: Men not only have a menopause, but the various problems they face during this period are no less than those of women. Nutritionists have specially prepared a "menopause meal" for men around 50 who are about to enter or have already entered menopause.

Mussels are a great helper for weight loss and blood pressure reduction. After menopause, men gradually have more skin fat and a significant increase in weight. This is related to the fact that middle-aged men eat more and exercise less, and it may also be caused by metabolic disorders in the body.

Suggestion: The main function of thyroxine is to regulate metabolism, and iodine in the body mainly participates in the synthesis of thyroxine. Therefore, men in menopause should consume more seafood rich in iodine and unsaturated fatty acids, such as mussels, kelp, and laver.

Drink black bean milk to stay away from osteoporosis. Male menopause is caused by a decrease in androgen secretion, and bone density will also decrease accordingly.

Suggestion: Dairy and bean products are very beneficial for restoring physical strength and preventing osteoporosis. It is especially recommended to roast and grind black beans and sesame seeds separately, and drink them with milk or soy milk. Drinking a cup before breakfast or dinner every day is more easily absorbed by the body. Bean products can be tofu or soy milk.

Lamb is the top choice for tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang. Decreased libido is a symptom that most men experience after entering menopause.  

Suggestion: Eat more foods that can improve and enhance gonadal function, such as lamb. Lamb has less fat and cholesterol than pork and beef, but it is rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and iodine, and has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang.  

Mulberry calms the mind, nourishes the heart, and improves eyesight. Menopausal symptoms in men are also often manifested in the mental and nervous aspects, such as irritability and easy anger, insomnia and headache, memory loss, easy tension, fatigue, and unstable cardiovascular function.

Suggestion: Eat more foods that improve the nervous system and cardiovascular function, such as mulberries, longans, red dates, Chinese yams, walnuts, sheep heart, and pig heart. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mulberry is sweet and sour in taste and slightly cold in nature, and is an excellent fruit for nourishing, strengthening, nourishing the heart, and improving intelligence. Cook porridge with mulberries and glutinous rice, and add a little rock sugar or honey when it is cooked to eat once a day, which can improve male menopausal symptoms such as dizziness, soreness in the waist, heat in the palms and soles, restlessness, and palpitation and insomnia.
