When people reach a certain age, their teeth will be less, especially when they reach a certain age, and everything they eat is soft and rotten. In addition, the elderly are weak, have poor digestion and absorption ability, and have to keep up with nutrition, so every meal should be treated specially. I shared my breakfast for the elderly in a circle of friends the other day. Many people read it and said: You are too attentive! Haha, in fact, parents all know that parents will pay for their children for free, so they should enjoy the care of their children in their later years. There is a saying that "you grow up with me and I grow old with you", which is the most real reincarnation in the world.
Actually, cooking dinner for the elderly is very simple. Look what I did today.
They are: bitter gourd egg shrimp skin cake+milk oatmeal+dragon fruit+zero-added mung bean cake.
Many vegetables are high in dietary fiber, such as bitter gourd. If it is only used for frying or stewing, even if the stewing time is longer, it is difficult for the old people to chew into pieces, so I directly process it into pieces with a knife, then add eggs and flour to make small soft cakes, which will not cause nutrient loss because of long heating time, and can also help chewing.
Bitter gourd has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing blood and softening liver, and stabilizing blood sugar. Paired with eggs and shrimp, it not only supplements vitamins, but also increases the nutrition of protein. At the same time, milk and shrimp are rich in calcium, which is very beneficial to the elderly who are prone to calcium deficiency.
The specific method is to clean the bitter gourd. In the process of cleaning, it is best to wipe the surface with flour first, then brush it carefully with a small brush, and then rinse it with running water, so as to ensure that the wrinkled skin is thoroughly cleaned.
Wash and cut into pieces, dig out the pulp with an iron spoon, the cleaner it is, the less bitter it is, then slice, shred and finally cut into fine particles. Pour into a large bowl, add two eggs, add a little salt to wash the chopped shrimp skin, stir well, then add flour and a little water and stir into a flowable thin batter. Heat the pan, pour in a small amount of vegetable oil, then pour in two spoonfuls of batter, spread out and bake until cooked. Bitter gourd is delicious and easy to digest, and can be eaten by the elderly and children. It's good to make breakfast.
The liquid food is milk oatmeal. Milk is rich in protein and calcium. With instant oatmeal, it is low in calories and high in nutrition, which is also very helpful to prevent cardiovascular problems in the elderly. But the milk must be pure fresh milk, and the cereal should be instant cereal without any addition, which is not only easy to cook but also very healthy for the body.
The way is to pour the milk into the pot and boil it, then pour a spoonful of instant oatmeal, turn off the fire and stew for another three minutes. Oats are creamy, smooth and soft. Not only do old people and young people like to eat like this, but they also have low fat content and high nutrition, and are not easy to get fat.
Today, I choose pitaya as the fruit. It is sweet and juicy, crisp and soft in taste, very suitable for the elderly and infants with poor chewing function, and rich in nutrition. Contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, which is very helpful for preventing and improving constipation and preventing cardiovascular problems.
Mung bean cake is ready-made, I'll take it. No oil and zero additives, easy to chew and absorb. Light sweetness and soft taste are very suitable for the elderly. Eating two pieces of mung bean cakes in hot summer can cool down and relieve summer heat.
As the saying goes, "the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. The son wants to raise it, but he doesn't want to stay close." May we all have no regrets!
