My parents are all people in their 60s, and they especially like tofu. Can the elderly eat more tofu?

    The elderly should not eat too much tofu. Under normal circumstances, the plant proteins that people eat into the body are metabolized, and finally most of them become nitrogenous wastes, which are excreted by the kidneys. In old age, the kidneys' ability to excrete waste declines. At this time, if you do not pay attention to your diet and eat a lot of tofu, ingesting too much plant-based protein will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body and increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not good for your health .
