Old people should add more duck meat to the table, because duck meat belongs to poultry white meat. Compared with red meat, duck meat has high protein content, but low fat content. At the same time, duck meat is rich in vitamin E, which can help the elderly to diuresis, reduce swelling, nourish the stomach, help digestion and delay aging.
Experts say that the way the elderly eat duck meat is very particular. If the choice is improper, the health care function for the elderly will be weakened. For example, the most common roast duck, salted duck and braised duck on the market are not suitable for the elderly. These practices add a lot of oil. This is because duck meat is low in fat. If you want to make it "fragrant", you must add more oil when cooking. Like roast duck and salted duck, it looks shiny.
It is best to improve the way the elderly eat ducks, such as making japonica rice duck porridge. Duck porridge is made of duck meat and japonica rice without oil. When cooking duck meat, skim the floating foam and oil flowers from duck soup, so that the fat intake of the elderly will be kept at the most appropriate level.
Experts said that in fact, for the elderly, duck porridge has a special function, that is, it can induce diuresis and reduce swelling. The circulation ability of the elderly is weak. Sometimes when I wake up, I will find my head is fat and my face is swollen. After walking for a long time, their legs and feet will thicken. If it is not caused by organic diseases, it may be physiological edema, which will gradually disappear after a period of time. If you drink a bowl of duck porridge every day for about 65,438+00 days, this kind of edema will not be found in your upper body, because edema is mostly easy to appear when you get up in the morning.

After it is done, you can add some fresh leaves. Now is the season when lotus leaves are on the market. If you can add some lotus leaves, you can make delicious duck porridge with lotus leaves.
