Hello and family! I'm Xiao Xu, and today I'm going to talk to you about the topic of calcium supplementation for the elderly.
Do you know? There are three kinds of vegetables, which are not only delicious and delicious, but also super high in calcium, and eating them regularly can make your bones strong and your body will be great! Next, I will give you a good science about these three amazing vegetables, as well as their nutritional value and how to eat.
1. Spinach
Let's start with spinach, the "green gold". This guy is a little nutrition expert, with calcium, iron, and vitamins. In the classic "Compendium of Materia Medica" of traditional Chinese medicine, spinach is known as a treasure that "clears the blood and veins, regulates the lower qi, and quenches thirst and moisturizes dryness". For the elderly, spinach can not only supplement calcium, but also laxative, moisturize, and is simply a good health product in autumn and winter.
Craving spinach? No problem, this is a simple and delicious recipe for spinach - spinach pork liver soup.
First, cut the pork liver into thin slices and marinate it slightly with cooking wine and cornstarch. Then, wash the spinach and cut it into sections. Add water to a boil in a pot, add the pork liver and cook until it changes color, then add the spinach and cook. Finally, add a little salt to taste, and let's live! This soup is both calcium and iron, and is definitely a good health companion for the elderly.
When choosing spinach, remember to pick those with dark green leaves and thick stems, so that spinach has high nutritional value. Oh yes, spinach contains oxalic acid, which may affect calcium absorption, so it's best to blanch it in boiling water before making it.
2. Kale
Next, let's talk about kale. This kale is not only rich in calcium, but also contains a lot of dietary fiber and vitamin C, which is very beneficial to the health of the elderly. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, kale can clear away heat and detoxify, relieve heat and relieve fever, and is a cool delicacy in summer.
How do you make kale delicious? I'm going to teach you how to make garlic kale. First, wash the kale and cut it into sections, and mince the garlic. Heat oil in a pot, enlarge the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the kale and stir-fry until cooked. Season with salt and you're OK! This dish is delicious and is guaranteed to whet the appetite of the elderly.
When buying kale, choose those with fresh leaves and brittle stems, not those with yellowing leaves and aged stems. Don't overcook it when stir-frying, so as to maintain the crisp texture and nutritional value of kale.
3. Small rape
The last one to appear is the small rape. This little rape is also a master of calcium supplementation, and it is also rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, which is very helpful for the intestinal health of the elderly. In traditional Chinese medicine, rape can clear away heat and detoxify, detoxify and detoxify, and is the intestinal guardian of the elderly.
How to make baby rape delicious and healthy? I recommend a small rape stew with tofu. First, wash the rape and cut it into sections, and cut the tofu into cubes. Then add water to the pot and bring to a boil, put the tofu and cook until it floats, then add the small rape and cook. Finally, add salt to taste and you're ready to go! This dish is supplemented with both calcium and protein, and it is simply a nutritional gas station for the elderly.
When choosing small rape, you should choose those with bright green leaves and delicate stems, so that the rape is fresher and more nutritious. When cooking, it can be slightly softer, so that it is easier for the elderly to digest and absorb.
That's all for today's content, I hope everyone can pay attention to the diet health of the elderly, so that they can have strong bones and good health! Spinach, kale and canola, these three high-calcium vegetables are good helpers for the health of the elderly! Let's make it for the elderly at home!
