As we all know, the bones of the elderly are relatively "brittle", a little improper, a fall, and have to lie on for a few months. But in recent years, young people's bones have become more and more "brittle", which is related to our habits and diet.

The first is the lack of sunlight time, yes, we are also the same as plants, need sun, with the lifestyle change, more and more young people are engaged in brain work, the vast majority of the day stay indoors, until the end of the day, the sun also set, the holiday break will also be at home behind closed doors.

When we lack sunlight, then the synthesis of vitamin D is affected, and gradually, the bones will become more and more brittle.

Second is sedentary, exercise not only can rise Yang but also can strengthen the bones, now many people do almost no exercise, always sitting, so limbs do not get exercise, and calcium is easy to lose a lot of.

The last is our eating habits, many of our favorite foods, are things that hurt the bones, the following 3 kinds, see if they often eat.

The first one: is carbonated beverages

Carbonated drinks have always been the favorite of young people, known as fatty happy water, fatigue, and thirsty time to drink a can, especially cool. Occasionally to quench the thirst for a drink, the impact on the body is not much, it is afraid to drink often.

Some of the chemical components in carbonated soft drinks have some impact on calcium absorption, especially phosphorus, too much intake, will dominate the calcium position.

In addition, alcoholic beverages should also be drunk less, which will hinder the body to recover, as the saying goes, a small drink is good, but a large drink hurts the body.

The second: high salt food

We all know that the elderly taste heavy, fried vegetables put oil and salt, and also like to eat pickled pickles, like my grandmother, forty or fifty years old, like to eat pickled vegetables, like pickled cucumbers, snow, squash, etc., these pickled pickles, containing a large amount of sodium salt, once the excess, will also carry calcium "escape".

In addition to pickles, some refined food, such as potato chips, snail noodles, canned food, a variety of hot pot dips, etc., are high-salt food.

Generally speaking, we adults should not exceed 6 grams of salt intake per day, about the amount of a beer bottle cap, and also pay attention to control snacks potato chips, and cans of sauce in these hidden "invisible salt".

The third kind: high phosphorus food

Like eating animal offal, strong tea, and coffee friends, pay attention to not too much phosphorus intake, phosphorus and calcium are elements required by the body, and the two have a certain balance between the ratio, once the phosphorus intake is too much, calcium-phosphorus ratio imbalance, calcium is less.

So we like to eat meat friends, try to eat lean meat, eat less animal offal, nuts eat about 10 grams a day is sufficient.

The fourth kind: is a high-fat food

Fried chicken fries are the favorite of young people, fries fatty meat is the favorite of the elderly, no matter which, are high oil food, high fat, eaten in the body will form part of the fatty acids, and calcium combination, it will form a difficult to dissolve the substance, if the intake of fat accounted for too high, then it will also affect the absorption of calcium.

Fried food occasionally satisfies the craving can eat a meal, that can not often eat, breakfast often eat doughnuts, but also to change a rich dish, the figure of nutrition is comprehensive.

We all know that MSG eating too much is not good for the body, I do not know that the above four kinds of food to eat more, the same will cause great harm to the body.

Since so many foods can harm our bones, what can we eat to make up for them and nurture them?

I think most people's reaction is to drink milk, eat calcium tablets, and drink big bone soup, to shape to make up for the shape! There are many foods containing calcium far more than milk, and bone broth, we will talk about the following three categories.

Category I: Soybean products

Soy products are traditional Chinese food, like soy milk, tofu, dried beans, and tofu brain, which are our daily food, these soybeans in addition to being rich in protein, and calcium content is also good oh.

Dried tofu, for example, is one of the best soy products. It is a reprocessed product of tofu and contains 30 times more calcium than soy milk.

And vegetarian chicken, thousand sheets, etc. is also a good ingredient, but we should pay attention when cooking, avoid deep-frying, frying, and other cooking methods, and do not add too much salt, or seasoning in the cooking process.

Category two: aquatic products

The aquatic products in the shrimp nori contain high calcium, and shrimp is still able to replace salt, but comes with a salty taste, we usually drink bone broth for calcium friends, but may wish to switch to shrimp nori soup, bone broth, does not contain high calcium.

Every 100 grams of shrimp skin contains up to 991 mg of calcium, known as the "calcium bank", and shrimp skin tastes delicious, added to the meal can also be fresh, children also like to eat, but also can be made into a side dish Oh.

For example, the soft and Q-string shrimp steamed eggs, look at people's appetite.

Prepare 2 eggs and 2 grams of shrimp skin, soak the shrimp skin in water and drain the water, if it is for children, you can cut the shrimp skin.

Beat the eggs, add warm water, the ratio of egg and water is 1:2 or 1:1.5, then continue to beat well, the sieve will be more delicate.

Grill on high heat to medium-low heat, on the heat to steam eggs, you can use plastic wrap to cover the egg mixture, so the surface will be smoother. Pour a little oil into the pot, sauté the shrimp skin, and finally pour the shrimp skin into the steamed egg custard, so that the shrimp egg custard is not fishy at all. Finally, drizzle in a little soy sauce vinegar.

Shrimp skin comes with a salty taste, we do not need to put salt in the egg custard.

Category III: Nuts

Nuts are roughly divided into two kinds, as hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, and almonds belong to the tree nuts. While peanuts, melon seeds, and black sesame belong to the species category.

These two categories are represented by hazelnuts and black sesame seeds, nuts have the advantage of being rich in unsaturated fatty acids, but are also one of our health nutrition sources, you can eat for a long time, but do not eat in excess.

Hazelnut this nut many people have eaten, or eaten its derivatives, such as hazelnut chocolate, hazelnut cake, and so on, it looks like chestnut and has the reputation of being the king of nuts, our ancestor's eaten hazelnuts has been more than six thousand years of history.

We eat hazelnuts is recommended to crack the shell directly to eat, a lot of food made with hazelnuts, are cakes, and cookies, such processed food, but high in sugar and high fat, and also affect the absorption of calcium.

Seeds of nuts and black sesame, will be more familiar, we can always eat them, and black sesame not only contains high calcium, but it also nourishes the kidney essence, kidney bone, kidney essence enough, but we also will not be "soft bones".

Black sesame contains about 8 times more calcium than milk, we drink a bowl of pure black sesame can meet the calcium needs of adults a day.

Black sesame paste

Black sesame paste can be made with black rice, black beans, peanuts, etc. It is very easy to make your own pure black sesame paste.

Just prepare 100 grams of fried glutinous rice, 150 grams of fried black sesame seeds, and the right amount of sugar.

Put the fried glutinous rice, black sesame, and sugar into the cooking machine and grind them into powder.

Add boiling water and continue to beat at high speed for 3~4 minutes.

Black sesame cake

If you don't like black sesame paste, you can also make a soft and delicious black sesame cake, prepare 100g black sesame, 40g glutinous rice flour, 60g corn starch, 40g unsweetened soy milk powder, and the right amount of honey.

Add corn starch, glutinous rice flour, soymilk powder, honey, and water, mix and stir well.

Brush a layer of oil in the mold, put the baking paper, pour the sesame paste into the mold, put it into the steamer, and steam it under water. Let it cool and take off the mold to serve, it is soft and sweet with a rich sesame aroma.

Black sesame pancakes

For those who like to eat richer flavors, try this black sesame pancake with 200g of black sesame seeds, 1 egg, 8g of red dates, walnuts, and honey. (You can also put your favorite nuts)

Cut the dates into small pieces, chop the nuts, sauté the black sesame seeds, put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well, spread the greaseproof paper on a baking sheet, find a round mold or use a paper cup to cut off the bottom, make a round sesame cake, preheat the oven, put it in the oven at 150 degrees for 20 minutes (time to adjust according to your oven)

Crispy, thin, and sweet, very tasty. If you are too lazy to do it yourself, you can also try this black sesame seed cake in a bag, very pure, or no additives, with ingredients used only for black sesame seeds, eggs, and honey.

No starch, no flavoring, no cane sugar, no oil, a bite, burnt and crispy, chewed especially cool! The black sesame seeds are fried and warm and caramelized, and this sesame fragrance comes to the nose. The dark and oily black sesame seeds, mixed with eggs and honey, are closely pressed together.

Each piece is hand-pressed by the masters, to press more solid, the final will be pressed with a press hammer, full of materials! Finally, after baking, the egg and sesame aroma is stimulated, together with the sweetness of honey, neutralizing the slight bitterness of black sesame, delicious and not on fire.

Each piece is individually wrapped, clean and hygienic, ready to eat, usually put a few pieces in the bag, anytime and anywhere to a piece, supplements nutrition, but also relieves cravings.

Black sesame balls

There is another way to eat black sesame, the most nutritious, is following the ancient nine steaming and nine sun production process, firewood nine steaming, sunlight nine suns, mild not on fire, ingredients more pure, only black sesame and honey, little miscellaneous things are, no preservatives.

And after steaming, the oiliness of black sesame is greatly reduced, so it is not greasy to eat, and the nutrients are more easily absorbed by the body, low oil, low fat, and low sugar, which is recorded in the book "Baopu Zi": "three buckets of sesame, steamed and dried in the sun, water to remove the foam and then steamed and re-sun, and so on nine times. At this time, the sesame skin is separated from the flesh, and after removing the skin, it is fried, powdered, and mixed with white honey or date paste to make small pills the size of slugs."

The nine steams make the energy of black sesame seeds tend to be mild and easily absorbed, and the nine sun-dried black sesame seeds in turn obtain the pure yang energy from the sun. Take 1 to 2 pills every morning and evening on an empty stomach (you can eat them after a meal if you have a bad stomach) and chew them repeatedly to allow the fluids and food to fully integrate and work well for their nourishing effects.

If you want to try this black sesame, you can try this one, the real nine steamed nine suns, which only black sesame and natural earth honey, the production of black sesame pills are more than ten years of experience in the master, they have their own set of steamed sesame control of the fire.

The finished black sesame balls are soft and delicate, just like black sesame sand, very delicate, and the aroma of black sesame is thoroughly stimulated.

Black sesame itself is a little bitter, but the bitterness is neutralized by the sweet honey so that it is not too sweet and not bitter.

Inside a layer of glutinous rice paper, wrapped outside a layer of tin foil, convenient for us to store, every day as a small snack to eat 2, very nutritious, can eat directly, but also with warm water or yellow wine to eat, delicate black sesame, feel containing can be melted off, middle-aged and elderly friends can also be assured to eat, not hard at all, not clucking teeth.

Both the elderly and young people should pay good attention to diet, usually more sunshine, the above four types of food to eat less!
