Recommended diet methods for the elderly to live longer

Experts say that the elderly are very particular about the way they eat duck meat. If you choose improperly, the health effect on the elderly will be weakened. For example, the most common roast duck, salted duck, braised duck, etc. on the market are not suitable for the elderly. A large amount of oil is added to these methods. This is because duck meat has low fat content. If you want to make it "flavorful", you need to add more oil when cooking. Roasted duck and salted duck all look oily.

As for the way the elderly eat duck, it is best to improve it, such as making it into japonica rice and duck porridge. Use duck meat and japonica rice to make duck porridge without adding oil. When cooking duck meat, you also need to skim off the foam and oil floating on the duck soup. In this way, the fat intake of the elderly will be maintained at the most appropriate amount.

Experts say that, in fact, for the elderly, duck porridge has a special effect, that is, it can relieve dampness and reduce swelling. The elderly have weak circulatory ability. Sometimes when they wake up, they will find "fat heads and swollen faces". After walking for a long time, their legs and feet will also become "thick". If it is not caused by organic disease, it may be physiological edema, which will slowly disappear after a while. If you drink a bowl of duck porridge every day, this kind of edema will not appear on your body for about 10 days. Because edema usually occurs when you get up in the morning, it is best to eat duck porridge at dinner the day before.

At the same time, duck porridge also has the effect of nourishing the stomach, which is very suitable for the elderly with poor digestion ability of the spleen and stomach. For example, in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Mu, who is older and knows a lot about health care, after watching the firecrackers late at night during the Lantern Festival, faced with countless delicacies, she only ordered duck porridge.

Duck meat porridge is very simple to make. Wash 250 grams of duck meat, simmer it with cooking wine and salt for 20 minutes, put it in water to make duck soup, and then put 100 grams of japonica rice in the soup to make porridge. When done, you can add some fresh vegetable leaves. Now is the season when lotus leaves are on the market. If you can add some lotus leaves, you can make fragrant and delicious lotus leaf duck porridge.

Duck meat is cool in nature. For some elderly people who are cold and suffer from diarrhea and have cold hands and feet when they catch a cold, they can "do some tricks" on the japonica rice and fry the rice until it turns slightly yellow. In this way, the japonica rice is a warm product, which can neutralize the coolness of duck meat and maximize its health care effect.
