Hello dear friends, I'm a little gecko. It's my habit to use simple words to introduce delicious food. Today, I would like to talk to you about how to "nourish bones" through food. As we get older, bone health is even more important. Many people know that drinking milk can supplement calcium, but in fact, in addition to milk, there are more "bone-nourishing" products on our table. Below, let me introduce you to four foods that are not only delicious, but also strengthen bones, and share how to make them.
1. Sesame sauce noodles
In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is said: "Taking black sesame seeds for 100 days can get rid of all chronic diseases." One year the body is shiny and not hungry, two years the gray hair returns to black, and three years the teeth fall and regenerate". Black sesame seeds are high in calcium, which not only helps to replenish calcium, but also benefits the kidneys and nourishes hair. It is made into tahini for easier absorption.
