FISH & SEAFOOD – THE BENEFITS
鱼类与海鲜的好处

Fish and seafood is commonly consumed daily in Asian countries. Particularly in Malaysia, the population consumes at least one to one and a half medium fish once a day. According to the Malaysian Dietary Guidelines 2020, daily consumption of fish or seafood is important to achieve healthy and balanced diet while other guidelines recommended at least two serving of fish and seafood per week, one of which should be oily fish. This is as they provide many health benefits, such as protection from cardiovascular illness, support brain function, and anti-inflammation due to various nutrient contents like:
鱼类和海鲜在亚洲国家的日常饮食中占有重要地位。尤其在马来西亚，民众每天平均会摄取一条至一条半中等大小的鱼类。根据《马来西亚膳食指南2020》，每日食用鱼类或海鲜有助于达成健康且均衡的饮食；而其他膳食指南也建议每周至少摄取两份鱼类和海鲜，其中一份应为富含脂肪的鱼类。这是因为鱼类和海鲜富含多种营养素，能够带来诸多健康益处，例如预防心血管疾病、支持大脑功能及发挥抗炎作用，包括：

- Protein / 蛋白质
While fish and seafood contain the least amount of fat and saturated fat in comparison to meat and poultry, one serving, which is about a palm size contains similar amount of protein with meat and poultry. Protein is essential for bodily function such as immune system, structural growth and repair, enzyme and hormone production, and many more. Consumption of fish and seafood can ensure that adequate protein is obtained without increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases due to high saturated fat consumption.
与肉类和家禽相比，鱼类和海鲜所含的总脂肪和饱和脂肪较低，但每一份约为手掌大小的鱼类或海鲜，其蛋白质含量却与肉类和家禽相当。蛋白质对人体多项生理功能至关重要，包括维持免疫系统运作、促进身体组织的生长与修复，以及参与酶和激素的合成等。适量摄取鱼类和海鲜，不仅有助于确保充足的蛋白质摄入，还能在不增加高饱和脂肪摄取的情况下，降低心血管疾病的风险。

- Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), mainly EPA and DHA / Omega-3多元不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA），主要包括 EPA 和 DHA
Aside from having low saturated fat content, fish and seafood, especially oily fish such as mackerel (kembung), tuna, herring (parang) and torpedo scad (cencaru) are generally high in omega-3 PUFA (EPA and DHA). Omega-3s are crucial for structure of cell wall, cognitive function and foetal development. They are also beneficial in lowering risk of cardiovascular diseases and inflammation.
除了饱和脂肪含量较低之外，鱼类和海鲜，尤其是富含脂肪的鱼类，如鲭鱼（kembung）、金枪鱼、鲱鱼（parang）及竹荚鱼（cencaru），通常含有丰富的 Omega-3多元不饱和脂肪酸（EPA 和 DHA）。Omega-3脂肪酸对维持细胞膜结构、支持认知功能以及促进胎儿发育至关重要，同时也有助于降低心血管疾病风险并发挥抗炎作用。

- Vitamins (Bs, E, D, A) / 维生素（B群、E、D、A）
Fish and seafood are sources of B, E, A and D vitamins, all of which are needed for bodily functions. Vitamin Bs are essential for energy production, red blood cells formation and nerve function while vitamin D is important for calcium absorption. Vitamin E acts as antioxidants, preventing inflammation and strengthen the immune system, while vitamin A is needed for healthy eyesight, skin and tissue, immune system and reproduction.
鱼类和海鲜是维生素B群、维生素E、维生素A及维生素D的良好来源，而这些维生素对人体正常运作都十分重要。维生素B群有助于能量产生、红血球形成及维持神经功能；维生素D则对钙的吸收和骨骼健康至关重要。维生素E具有抗氧化作用，可帮助减少炎症并增强免疫力，而维生素A则有助于维持良好的视力、皮肤与组织健康，同时支持免疫系统及生殖功能。

- Minerals (calcium, iodine, phosphorus, selenium, iron, zinc) / 矿物质（钙、碘、磷、硒、铁、锌）
Aside from vitamins, fish and seafood contain various minerals including calcium, iodine, phosphorus, selenium, iron and zinc. Calcium is important for bone and teeth, muscle and nerve functions, while iodine is needed for thyroid function that is responsible for metabolism and growth. Selenium acts as antioxidant and is also crucial for thyroid hormone metabolism, meanwhile phosphorus is required for formation of bones and teeth, as well as energy production. Iron primarily aids in blood cells production, while zinc supports the immune system, wound healing and growth.
除了维生素之外，鱼类和海鲜还富含多种矿物质，包括钙、碘、磷、硒、铁和锌。钙有助于骨骼和牙齿的健康，同时支持肌肉与神经功能；碘对甲状腺功能至关重要，参与新陈代谢和生长发育。硒具有抗氧化作用，并在甲状腺激素代谢中发挥关键作用；磷不仅有助于骨骼和牙齿形成，也参与能量产生。铁主要帮助血红细胞的生成，而锌则支持免疫系统功能、伤口愈合及身体生长。

To summarize, fish and seafood are great for our health as they provide us with essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals with additional cons of reducing risk of cardiovascular diseases due to the high omega-3 and low saturated fat contents. With all these benefits, are there any negative health consequences to consumption of fish and seafood? This topic will be discussed in the next article.
总的来说，鱼类和海鲜对健康非常有益，它们不仅提供必需的蛋白质、维生素和矿物质，还因富含Omega-3脂肪酸且饱和脂肪含量低，有助于降低心血管疾病的风险。既然有如此多的好处，食用鱼类和海鲜是否也存在潜在的健康风险呢？这个话题将在下一篇文章中进行探讨。

Elderly Nutrition
老年期营养需求与饮食治疗策略

Adequate and balanced nutrition is important for human as nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals are needed for biological function such as energy production, metabolism and growth, systems such as reproduction, respiration and digestion, and prevention of diseases such as brittle bone, heart disease and high blood pressure. Nutrition requirements differ in every stage of life, as there are changes to the biological needs and lifestyle. For instance, the calories needed by elderly may be lower than young and middle-aged adult, with higher protein requirement. This is as muscle and bone degeneration is common, while physical activity and activity of daily living is typically reduced. This article will discuss in detail about nutrition needs for elderly.
充足且均衡的营养对人体健康至关重要。人体所需的营养素，包括碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂肪、维生素和矿物质在多种生理功能中发挥关键作用，如能量生成、新陈代谢、组织生长与修复，以及生殖、呼吸和消化等系统的正常运作。同时，合理的营养摄取对于预防骨质疏松、心脏病和高血压等慢性疾病也具有重要意义。
营养需求会随着生命阶段的变化而改变，这主要与生理功能及生活方式的差异有关。例如，老年人的能量需求通常低于青年和中年成年人，但其蛋白质需求反而更高。这是因为老年阶段常出现肌肉与骨骼退化，而体力活动及日常生活活动能力亦相应下降。

In elderly, - defined as adults aged 65 years old and above - body and lifestyle changes can cause difficulty to consume adequate and healthy food. These include changes in senses of smell and taste, problems with chewing or swallowing, health factor such as problems with walking, taking medicine that can change senses, causes dry mouth and appetite, and dietary restriction due to underlying diseases such as high blood pressure and kidney disease. Living situations such as living alone, limited access to healthy food and lower income level upon retirement can also affect dietary intake.
在老年阶段（通常指65岁及以上的成年人），身体机能与生活方式的变化经常导致难以摄取足够且健康的食物。影响因素包括嗅觉与味觉的减退、咀嚼或吞咽困难、行动不便，以及某些药物的使用可能改变味觉、引起口干或降低食欲。此外，由于潜在慢性疾病，如高血压、肾脏病等所导致的饮食限制，也会进一步影响营养摄取。
生活环境亦是关键因素。独居、获取健康食物的机会受限，或退休后收入水平下降，均可能导致饮食摄入不足，从而影响老年人的营养状况与整体健康。

To ensure adequate and healthy food intake, these are some dietary tips that can be incorporated in daily life:
为确保饮食充足又健康，以下是一些可以融入日常生活的饮食建议：

- Eat food high in nutrients but with less extra calories
选择营养密度高、额外热量少的事物
Nutrient dense foods that do not contain excessive calories should be consumed. These foods include fruits, vegetables, wholegrain cereal, low fat or skimmed dairy products or their alternatives (preferably with added calcium and vitamin D), lean poultry, lean meat, fish, seafood, egg, seeds, nuts, and beans.
建议选择营养丰富、热量不过高的食物。例如：水果、蔬菜、全谷类、低脂或脱脂奶制品及其替代品（最好强化钙和维生素D）、瘦禽肉与瘦肉、鱼类和海鲜、鸡蛋、种子、坚果以及豆类等。
这些食物既能满足每日营养需求，又更适合维持健康体态。

- Avoid empty calories
避免摄取“空热量”食物
Empty calories are foods that contain high calories but little nutritional value. These foods should be avoided as they can cause health problems such as overweight and insulin resistance. These foods are typically high in fat, sugar and salt. The examples of empty calories are chips, sweetened beverages, alcoholic beverages, cakes, pastries, instant noodles and fast foods.
“空热量”指的是热量高、营养价值却很低的食物。应尽量避免摄取这类食品，因为长期食用可能导致体重增加、胰岛素阻抗等健康问题。
此类食物通常含有大量脂肪、糖和盐，例如：薯片、含糖饮料、酒精饮品、蛋糕、糕点、方便面以及各类速食等。
为了健康，建议减少这些食物的摄入。

- Drink enough fluid
确保摄取足够的水分
Dehydration is among the common causes of hospitalization in elderly as sense of thirst decrease. Adequate water intake according to guidelines is 1.6 L/day (about 6 glasses) of drinks for women and 2.0 L/day for men (about 8 glasses). Elderly can also increase intake through consumption of food high in water such as watermelon, soup, ice, cucumber, yogurt et cetera. Some conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, being overweight or obese, and gastrointestinal issue like diarrhoea, require adjustment to fluid intake, therefore, individuals with these conditions should seek advice from healthcare practitioner.
随着年龄增长，口渴感会下降，因此脱水是老年人常见的住院原因之一。
根据建议，女性每日应摄取约 1.6 公升（约 6 杯）的饮品，男性则需约 2.0 公升（约 8 杯）。
老年人也可以通过摄取含水量高的食物来补充水分，例如：西瓜、汤品、冰块、黄瓜、优格等。
同时需要注意，若有肾脏疾病、心脏疾病、体重过重或肥胖、腹泻等胃肠问题，饮水量可能需做调整，因此应向医疗专业人员咨询，以获得适合的建议。

- Be involved in physical activities
积极参与身体活动
Physical activity can help to preserve muscle and bone mass, contributing to reduced risk of fall and frailty, aside from reducing risk of metabolic illness such as heart disease and stroke. It can also help in improving appetite and increase feeling of hunger for elderly with reduced appetite. At least light intensity exercise such as walking and stretching should be included daily. For optimum health benefit, combination of aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and balance activities should be done each week.
身体活动有助于保持肌肉和骨骼质量，从而降低跌倒和虚弱的风险，同时还能减少心脏病、中风等代谢性疾病的发生风险。对于食欲减退的老年人，适当的身体活动也能促进食欲，增加饥饿感。
建议每天至少进行轻强度运动，如散步和拉伸。为了获得最佳健康效果，每周应结合有氧运动、肌力训练和平衡训练。

It is common for elderly to find it difficult to eat healthily to the aforementioned body and lifestyle changes issues. To combat these problems, these are the things that can be done:
由于上述身体和生活方式的变化，老年人在保持健康饮食方面常常会遇到困难。为应对这些问题，可以采取以下措施：

- Refer to healthcare practitioners
寻求医疗专业人士的建议
Issue such as chewing and swallowing difficulties and physical constraints may require healthcare practitioners’ advice as they can assess whether certain treatment or aids and referral are needed.
对于咀嚼和吞咽困难或身体活动受限等问题，建议寻求医疗专业人员的意见，他们可以评估是否需要特定治疗、辅助工具或进一步转诊。

- Physical restriction
身体活动受限
Health issues may make it hard for the elderly to prepare food, which can result in poor nutrition. Support from family or caretakers and equipment aid such as walking stick and wheelchair can help ease mobility, facilitate meal preparation, thus improve dietary intake.
健康问题可能会让老年人难以自行准备餐食，从而影响营养摄入。家人或照护者的支持，以及辅助设备，如拐杖、轮椅可以帮助行动不便的老年人方便备餐，从而改善饮食状况。

- Chewing and swallowing
咀嚼与吞咽
For elderly with chewing and swallowing problems, adjusting the preparation technique and changing the texture of the food can help. For instance, cutting food into smaller pieces, or blending them into puree can aid ease chewing and swallowing.
对于有咀嚼和吞咽困难的老年人，可以通过调整烹饪方法和改变食物质地来帮助进食。例如，将食物切成小块，或将其搅拌成泥状，都能让咀嚼和吞咽更轻松。

- Smell or taste
嗅觉与味觉
Adding colour and different texture of the food can make food looks more interesting to eat and thus, stimulate appetite.
通过增加食物的颜色和不同质地，可以让食物看起来更吸引人，从而刺激食欲。

- Dry mouth
口干
Elderly may experience dry mouth, affecting their eating. Managing this includes sipping water regularly, keeping it within reach, and sucking on ice. Sugar-free lozenges or chewing gum can boost saliva production. Avoid diuretics like caffeine and alcohol, and limit spicy, acidic, sweet, and fatty foods which can worsen symptoms.
老年人可能会出现口干，从而影响进食。应对方法包括：经常小口饮水，并保持水源触手可及；含冰块以缓解干燥。无糖含片或口香糖可促进唾液分泌。应避免利尿剂如咖啡因和酒精，并限制辛辣、酸味、甜味及高脂食物，以免加重症状。

- Dietary restriction
饮食控制
For elderly with dietary restriction due to conditions such as kidney disease, hypertension and diabetes, substitution can help enhancing flavours. For instance, herbs and spices can be used to replace salt and sweetener such as stevia can substitute sugar.
对于因肾脏疾病、高血压或糖尿病等原因而需要饮食限制的老年人，可通过替代调味来提升食物风味。例如，可用香草和香料代替食盐，或用甜叶菊等甜味剂替代糖。

- Small but frequent meals and healthy snacks in between meals
少量多餐，并在餐间搭配健康零食
Eating small but frequently instead of eating a few large meals might aid in increasing food intake for elderly with appetite problem. Taking healthy snacks such as beans, nuts, yoghurt, and tofu in between meal can also improve intake while providing important nutrients.
对于食欲不振的老年人，少量多餐比少数大餐更有助于增加摄食量。在餐间食用健康零食，如豆类、坚果、酸奶和豆腐，不仅能提高总摄入量，还能补充重要的营养。

- Eat together
一起用餐
Eating alone can feel mundane to elderly, causing reduced appetite. Making new friends by participating in community or senior centre activities, organizing potluck and cooking with friends can ameliorate boredom, making life more interesting, hence, aiding in increasing appetite.
老年人独自用餐容易感到单调，从而影响食欲。通过参加社区或长者中心活动结交新朋友、组织聚餐或与朋友一起烹饪，可以缓解无聊，让生活更有趣，从而促进食欲。

Diet & Fertility II
生育力与饮食（二）

In the previous article, we discussed how fertility outcome can be improved through dietary intervention. While this is true, there are some dietary components that can negatively affect fertility, and hence, should be avoided, which are:
在上一篇文章中，我们聊到了如何通过调整饮食来帮助提高生育力。虽然良好的饮食确实有助于受孕，但也有一些食物成分可能对生育造成不良影响，因此最好尽量避免，主要包括以下几种：

• Refined sugars and carbohydrates
精制糖份和碳水化合物

Refined sugars and refined carbohydrates can negatively affect fertility. In women, excess consumption can lead to high blood sugar, which leads to an increase in insulin secretion. In the long term, this can cause insulin resistance, associated with higher androgen production, leading to impaired fertility. In men, high intake can cause high blood sugar and oxidative stress, which affects s***m quality and motility, and hormone production. Examples of refined sugar include table sugar, condensed milk, honey, and maple syrup. Refined carbohydrates include white rice, white bread, white flour and pastries.
精制糖和精制碳水化合物可能对生育力产生负面影响。
对女性来说，摄入过多这类食物会导致血糖升高，从而引发胰岛素大量分泌。长期下来，可能造成胰岛素阻抗，进而刺激体内雄激素（男性激素）水平升高，影响排卵和生育能力。
对男性而言，高糖饮食同样会引起血糖升高和氧化压力，影响精子的质量与活力，还可能干扰体内激素的正常分泌。
常见的精制糖包括：白砂糖、炼乳、蜂蜜、枫糖浆等。
常见的精制碳水化合物有：白米饭、白面包、白面粉制品和甜点等。

• Saturated fats (SFA)
饱和脂肪（SFA）

Fatty acids are the basis of all cell membranes. In males, SFA can change the structure of the s***m membrane, leading to poor motility and production. Research also finds that SFA can cause lower energy utilization of the s***m cell and increase oxidative stress, affecting fertility. Meanwhile, in females, SFA is associated with insulin resistance, increased inflammation and reduced function of a receptor responsible for metabolism, inflammation and cellular process (PPAR- γ), leading to poor fertility. SFA sources include processed meat, red meat, poultry skin, butter, lard, desserts like cakes and cookies, and fast food.
脂肪酸是所有细胞膜的基本组成成分。
对男性而言，摄入过多饱和脂肪酸（SFA）可能会改变精子膜的结构，导致精子活动力下降及数量减少。研究也发现，SFA会降低精子的能量利用效率，并增加氧化压力，从而影响生育力。
对女性来说，过量摄取SFA可能会造成胰岛素阻抗、体内发炎反应增加，并降低负责代谢与细胞功能的受体（PPAR-γ）的活性，进而影响受孕能力。
常见的SFA来源包括加工肉类、红肉、鸡皮、黄油、猪油、蛋糕、饼干及速食等。

• Trans fats (TFA)
反式脂肪（TFA）

Like SFA, in men, TFA can change the composition of the s***m membrane, causing deleterious effects on s***m motility, fluidity and density. TFA is also found to lower the probability of fertilization and is correlated with lower testosterone level and s***m count, all of which can negatively affect fertility. In women, TFA increases inflammation and is related to lower levels of DHA and EPA, leading to ovulatory infertility. TFA can be found in hydrogenated fat such as hard margarine, junk food, pastries, fast food, fried food et cetera.
与饱和脂肪酸（SFA）类似，反式脂肪酸（TFA）在男性体内可改变精子膜的组成，进而对精子的运动能力、流动性及密度产生不利影响。研究表明，反式脂肪酸不仅降低受精率，还与睾酮（testosterone）水平及精子数量的下降密切相关，均可能对男性生育能力造成负面影响。
女性体内摄入反式脂肪酸则会促进炎症反应，并与二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）及二十碳五烯酸（EPA）水平的降低相关，导致排卵性不孕。
反式脂肪酸主要存在于氢化脂肪制品中，如硬化人造黄油、垃圾食品、糕点、快餐及油炸食品等。

• Alcohol
酒精

Excessive and prolonged alcohol intake may alter ovulation and regulation of the menstrual cycle, as it can cause an increase in hormones such as testosterone and oestradiol in women. This can induce fertility issue. Consumption can also lead to toxicity to the foetus for pregnant women. Alcohol can also bring about fertility problems for men as it is associated with decreased testosterone, withering testicles and reduced s***m production. Alcohol abuse and intoxication is also related to sexual dysfunction such as arousal, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction.
过量且长期饮酒会影响女性的排卵及月经周期的调节，因为酒精可能导致体内睾酮（testosterone）和雌二醇等荷尔蒙（oestradiol）水平升高，从而引发生育问题。对于怀孕女性，饮酒还可能对胎儿造成毒性，增加流产或胎儿发育异常的风险。
在男性方面，酒精摄入与睾酮水平下降、睾丸萎缩及精子生成减少有关，都会对生育力造成不良影响。长期酗酒或酒精中毒也常导致性功能障碍，如性欲减退、勃起困难及射精障碍等。

• Caffeine
咖啡因

Caffeine can be found in various products such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, carbonated drinks. Caffeine intake of more than 300mg/day can influence hormone levels in non-pregnant females due to interaction in the metabolic pathways, leading to reduced fertility. It can also affect hormone levels in pregnant women, possibly causing an unfavourable pregnancy outcome. In males, caffeine might cause changes in DNA of the s***m cells, which can contribute to infertility due to abnormal s***m production. Therefore, caffeine intake should be limited to 200 mg/day, or about 2 cups of coffee a day. Caffeine sources include coffee, tea, cocoa products, energy drinks and carbonated drinks. Energy and carbonated drinks should preferably be avoided altogether.
咖啡因存在于多种饮品和食品中，如咖啡、茶、能量饮料及碳酸饮料等。
对于非怀孕女性来说，每日摄入超过300毫克的咖啡因，可能会因干扰体内代谢途径而影响荷尔蒙水平，进而降低生育能力。对孕妇而言，咖啡因还可能影响孕妇体内的激素水平，进而引发不良妊娠结果。
在男性方面，过量咖啡因摄取可能导致精子DNA发生变化，造成精子生成异常，从而影响生育力。
因此，建议每日咖啡因摄取量应限制在200毫克以内（约相当于两杯咖啡）。咖啡因的常见来源包括咖啡、茶、可可制品、能量饮料及碳酸饮料。其中，能量饮料和碳酸饮料最好尽量避免饮用。

• Fishes with high mercury levels
高汞含量的鱼类

While fish consumption is recommended due to its high omega-3 content, which is important for fertility, some fishes with high mercury levels should be avoided. This is as mercury exposure can cause hormonal changes in men and can damage the s***m DNA, leading to impaired s***m motility and structure. Mercury can also cause menstrual and hormonal dysfunction in women, resulting in reduced fertility outcome. High mercury fishes are typically fishes that consume other fishes (also known as predator or carnivorous fish), large and have a long lifespan due to accumulation of mercury content. This includes king mackerel, marlin, shark, swordfish, bigeye tuna, bluefin, tilefish, ray, and orange roughy.
虽然鱼类富含对生育非常重要的Omega-3脂肪酸，适量食用有益健康，但某些含汞量较高的鱼类应尽量避免。汞暴露可能导致男性体内激素变化，损伤精子DNA，进而影响精子的活动力和结构。对女性来说，汞也可能引起月经和激素功能紊乱，降低生育能力。
含汞量高的鱼类通常是以其他鱼类为食的大型掠食性鱼类，寿命较长，因此体内容易积累汞。常见的高汞鱼类包括王鲭鱼、旗鱼、鲨鱼、剑鱼、大眼金枪鱼、蓝鳍金枪鱼、瓷鱼、鳐鱼和橙粗鳍鱼。
建议选择低汞的鱼类，如鲑鱼、鳕鱼、沙丁鱼等，适量食用以保障健康和生育能力。

• Excessive exercise
过度运动

Regular physical activity is important in improving fertility. However, excessive exercise should be avoided. This is as it can lead to hormonal imbalance, which can negatively impact s***m quality and ovulation, affecting fertility. Symptoms of over-exercising are reduced performance, fatigue, feeling depressed or anxious, mood swings, sleeping problems, overuse injuries, and unintended weight loss.
规律的体育锻炼对提升生育能力具有重要作用，然而应避免过度运动。过度运动可能导致激素失衡，进而对精子质量和排卵产生不利影响，影响生育能力。过度运动的症状包括运动表现下降、疲劳、情绪低落或焦虑、情绪波动、睡眠障碍、过度运动导致的损伤以及非故意的体重减轻。
