"You see, small lifestyle changes can sometimes do wonders. ”
Dr. Zhang said to the nurse on the corridor of the ward, with a bit of admiration and incredulity in his eyes.
The phrase seemed to drift through the air, caught by chance by nearby ears.
On a sunny spring morning, Zhu Yuansi, a suburban orchard keeper, carried a basket to pick mulberries as usual.
The mulberries in this season are particularly sweet, and Zhu Yuansi always likes to pick more and share them with the neighbors around him.
Today, his basket was filled with a large number of black-purple fruits, so full that a few even rolled out, leaving a little juice on the grass.
After Zhu Yuansi returned home, he began to distribute mulberries from house to house.
Walking in the community, he happened to meet Uncle Zhao, who had just recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
Uncle Zhao is in his sixties this year, and his health has not been very good, but today he looks energetic and ruddy.
"Uncle Zhao, you are..." Zhu Yuansi asked in surprise.
"Oh, Yuan Si, I've started eating egg custard every day. Uncle Zhao said with a smile, his eyes flashing with a glint of regaining health.
"Egg custard?" Zhu Yuansi repeated suspiciously.
"Yes, egg custard. It's actually very simple, every morning, I will beat two eggs by myself, add some milk and honey, and steam them into egg custard.
Dr. Zhang says it is great for restoring stamina and improving nutrient absorption. Uncle Zhao explained in detail.
After listening to this, Zhu Yuansi was deeply curious, he knew that protein was very important for the elderly, but he didn't expect that just changing the way one food was eaten could make such a big change.
From that day on, Zhu Yuansi began to have a strong interest in egg custard.
He not only does it for himself, but also recommends it to other elderly people.
Moreover, he looked up a lot of research materials on eggs on the Internet to understand the science behind them.
According to research, eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which can effectively support muscle maintenance and growth and prevent muscle loss for the elderly.
The protein in eggs is a complete protein that contains all the essential amino acids that can be fully utilized by the body to maintain various functions of the body.
In addition, eggs are rich in nutrients such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and choline.
Choline, in particular, has a significant role in supporting memory and cognitive function in older adults.
Studies have also shown that moderate egg consumption can help improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in older adults.
In further investigation, Zhu Yuansi found that cooking eggs by steaming not only retains more nutrients, but also makes the protein easier to digest and absorb.
This is especially important for older people who have a gradual decline in digestion.
After a while, he sorted out a large amount of data and literature, and even contacted several nutritionists and geriatricians, who confirmed Zhu's findings and provided more scientific explanations and recommendations.
In the following days, Zhu decided to organize a community lecture with doctors and experts to explain how the elderly can improve their quality of life by adjusting their diet.
During the lecture, Dr. Zhang also shared several cases similar to Uncle Zhao, these elderly people have not only improved their health by adjusting their diet, but also lived a more energetic and fun life.
Zhu Yuansi's move has been widely praised and concerned by the community and beyond.
People are beginning to re-evaluate and discuss the importance of the diet of the elderly, especially how to use common ingredients to promote health through scientific methods.
At this point, one can't help but wonder if there are any common but overlooked foods in the current diet that can greatly improve their nutritional value and health benefits through simple culinary changes?
For example, how do the nutrients of potatoes and tomatoes that we commonly eat different under different cooking methods will be retained and released?
And how will these differences affect the health of specific populations?
Through a detailed analysis of this issue, we can not only better understand the nutritional value of food, but also improve public awareness and practice of healthy eating.
So that more people can benefit from scientific diet and enjoy a healthier and more energetic life.
