Can the elderly eat instant-boiled mutton?
Mutton is rich in protein, fat, vitamins, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other nutrients, so it is beneficial for the elderly with tuberculosis, cough, tracheitis, asthma and anemia to eat more mutton in winter, so many elderly people regard mutton as a good winter product. However, although mutton has many benefits, the elderly are particular about it. First of all, elderly people suffering from chronic diseases such as hypertension, nephropathy, especially hepatitis and other liver diseases should be careful to eat. Because mutton is sweet and warm, it is called "Nostoc flagelliforme" by the people, and it contains high protein and fat. These patients can not be completely decomposed, absorbed and excreted after eating, which may cause the recurrence and aggravation of hypertension and chronic liver disease. Excessive intake of protein by patients with nephropathy will seriously damage the kidney, even affect the normal physiological function of the kidney, which is the innate foundation of the human body and plays an important role in the reproduction, growth, development and body fluid metabolism of the human body. Second, mutton should not be eaten raw. Eating instant-boiled mutton is a unique enjoyment, but if it is eaten half-cooked, it may cause trichinosis-Trichinella spiralis larvae develop into adults in the intestine, then mate and breed a large number of larvae, and then develop into cysts in muscle tissue, causing high fever and damaging the heart, liver and kidney. When the elderly eat mutton hot pot, they should cut the mutton into thin slices and leave chopsticks when they rinse the pot. Chopsticks and plates for raw meat should be strictly separated from chopsticks for direct entrance and utensils for seasoning, and raw and cooked food should not be mixed. Third, eat less roast mutton. Coal tar and 3.4- phenylpropyl pyrene produced by charcoal fire are strong carcinogens, which are easy to attach to oily food. At present, scientists have confirmed that the elderly often eat greasy food smoked by charcoal fire, and the incidence of digestive tract tumors will increase significantly, so it is best for the elderly to eat less roast mutton. Fourth, don't drink strong tea at the same time. Drinking strong tea after eating mutton does more harm than good. Because mutton is rich in protein, and tea contains more tannic acid, if you drink strong tea immediately after eating mutton, the tannic acid in tea will combine with protein in mutton to form protein tannic acid, which will weaken the peristalsis of intestinal tract and lead to poor defecation and even constipation.
