The beginning of spring, as the first of the 24 solar terms, marks the arrival of spring. In this special season of the beginning of spring, the health of the elderly is a special concern for us.
After all, the physical functions of the elderly are relatively weak and require more meticulous care. So, how to make the elderly eat healthier in the beginning of spring?
First of all, the temperature gradually warms up in the beginning of spring, but there will still be a slight chill. The body of the elderly is weaker in regulating temperature and is easily affected by weather changes.
Therefore, preparing them with some warm, easy-to-digest food will better meet the body's needs. For example, you can stew a pot of chicken soup or beef soup for the elderly, which is both warm and nourishing.
In order to enhance the immunity of the elderly, we can recommend a nutritious menu of three meals a day suitable for the beginning of spring. For breakfast, you can choose oatmeal porridge with milk, oats are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin B complex, which helps to improve immunity; For lunch, you can stew a pot of chicken soup with rice, chicken is rich in high-quality protein and trace elements; For dinner, you can choose steamed fish with a vegetable salad, which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and protein, which can help protect cardiovascular health.
Of course, it's important to be specific. Oatmeal porridge needs to be cooked first, and then boiled with milk; To stew chicken soup, you need to fry the chicken until it changes color, then add an appropriate amount of water and seasonings to simmer; To steam the fish, you need to clean the fish first, marinate it for a while with shredded ginger, green onions, cooking wine, and salt, and then take out the fish and put it on a plate (put green onions and ginger shreds on both sides), and steam it in a pot for 10 minutes.
In short, the diet of the elderly in the beginning of spring should be warm, easy to digest, and nutritionally balanced. With the right mix and cooking, we can provide healthier food choices for the elderly. Let's take action together to provide a healthy Lichun menu for the elderly at home!
