1）保证充足的食物摄入。不要过于相信瘦是福，老年人的蛋白质摄入较成年人增加，更应该每天吃足量的肉类（通常建议每天吃150～200g肉类，喝200～400ml鲜奶）。食量少的消瘦老人可以通过加餐来保证食物的摄入总量。

An elderly who eats in small portions can increase the total amount of food intake by adding meals.

其实电影分级本质上是为观众服务的，就是告诉不同年龄的观众可以看哪一类的电影。电影不分级实际上是侵害儿童的，因为太多涉及血腥、暴力、性爱的画面过早地让孩子们看到了。同时也是对成年人不负责，因为不能真正制作符合成年人口味的类型片。

In fact, movie ratings are essentially a service to audiences. It tells audiences of different ages what kind of movies they can watch. Unrated movies are really harmful to children because they allow children to see images of gore, violence and sex too early on. At the same time, they are also unfair to adults because movies can't be made that truly cater to adult preferences.
