Tofu is an important part of a balanced diet for middle-aged and elderly people. Tofu contains high calcium, which is an important supplement to dietary calcium for people who are lactose intolerant and drink less milk, and is very helpful to prevent osteoporosis.
Moreover, sufficient magnesium in tofu can not only promote the absorption of calcium, strengthen bones and teeth, but also reduce the risk of hypertension and prevent chronic diseases such as kidney calculi.
Tofu, one of the representative foods in China and China, has a deep foundation, easily available raw materials, simple production, convenient purchase, affordable price, good taste, rich nutrition, easy digestion and environmental protection. It is an "excellent" food source for people to supplement high-quality protein and calcium, and it is a daily popular food for people of all ages in Xian Yi, with an irreplaceable "status"!
At the same time, tofu contains phytosterols and soybean phospholipids, which is beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. In addition to the nutritional advantages mentioned above, tofu also contains a variety of healthy ingredients needed by the body, and tofu itself has a soft taste, which is very suitable for the elderly with bad mouth. Tofu is so delicious, but you really can't eat more.
Osteoporosis is the most common bone problem in middle-aged and elderly people. With the growth of age, our teeth often have problems, and sometimes we refuse to eat meat because it is difficult to chew, which will lead to the lack of protein.
The raw material of tofu comes from soybean, and the protein contained in it is high-quality protein. Eating tofu can supplement high-quality protein. Osteoporosis is the most common bone problem in middle-aged and elderly people, and calcium deficiency is also an important factor.
Tofu, especially north tofu, has a high content of calcium, which is undoubtedly a very good calcium supplement food for middle-aged and elderly people. Moreover, tofu also contains soybean isoflavones, which can promote the absorption of calcium and is more conducive to the health of female friends.
After protein is ingested by human body, most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste. After protein is ingested by the human body, most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste and is excreted by the kidneys. If you eat a lot of tofu for a long time and eat too much plant protein, it will inevitably lead to too much nitrogen-containing waste in your body and increase the burden on your kidneys.
Especially in the elderly, the ability of kidney to excrete waste is reduced, and the renal function may be further reduced. Tofu contains a lot of calcium. If you often eat with vegetables with high oxalic acid content, it will produce calcium oxalate that is not easy to absorb and may also produce stones.
Solution: If you want to eat tofu with spinach, spinach, amaranth, water bamboo and other vegetables with high oxalic acid, you must blanch the vegetables to reduce the oxalic acid content. Tofu is a common bean product and a nutritious food with good quality and low price. Rich in high-quality protein and containing mineral elements such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, it is known as "vegetable meat".
Long-term use of soybean milk instead of egg milk, without paying attention to the extra supplement of calcium and protein. In fact, it is recommended not to eat more of each kind of food, because a balanced one is the best. First of all, bean products are high in quality and protein. Eating too much will also cause the metabolic burden of the kidney. Another point is that eating too much tofu will reduce the intake of other foods, and nutritionists in different foods will be different, which will make the body lack nutrition for a long time.
Long-term use of soybean milk instead of egg milk without paying attention to the extra supplement of calcium and protein may lead to protein deficiency and calcium deficiency, making middle-aged and elderly people more prone to bone loss.
So still drink milk and eat eggs; I really can't drink milk, so I recommend yogurt to make up for the discomfort caused by lactose intolerance. You can also eat more fish and shrimp and proper meat to make up for it.
