Soy products and seafood are the best choices for calcium supplementation, especially dried shrimps, seaweed, and kelp are richer in calcium, and suitable for a wide range of people, children and the elderly are more suitable. The main ingredient of this dish I made today is tofu, and the auxiliary ingredients are kelp, shrimp skin, carrots, which are all calcium-rich ingredients, and some minced meat is added. The meat and vegetable pairing tastes good. The finished dish is especially tender and nutritious. It is the best dish for calcium supplementation in spring.
This chicken shaved tofu is also a well-known dish of the poor.
It is said that there is a rich man, every time he marries a wife, he must first test his cooking skills. This time he married another daughter-in-law, and he asked the new daughter-in-law to cook "chicken and tofu."
Chicken shaved tofu is to put the tofu in a bowl, stir with chopsticks, and add some salt, green onion, and sesame oil. But the old rich man sat in the living room and waited for a long time. He was in a hurry. The new wife came in panic carrying a plate of tofu with muddy soil. The rich man asked: "What's the matter?" The new wife said: "It's a death! I ran for a long time and I didn't find a chicken. This is because I borrowed a duck to plan it!"
Some common sense of calcium supplementation: (from the Internet)
1. Calcium supplement for infants and young children: drink milk and sunbathe
Many young mothers pay attention to supplementing calcium for their children. In addition to daily food supplements, they also add a lot of calcium, but they find that their children are still lacking in calcium. Why is this?
Calcium deficiency in infants and young children is mainly due to the lack of vitamin D in the body, which makes it difficult for calcium to be absorbed and utilized. In addition to guaranteeing to drink milk, children of this age should also pay attention to outdoor exposure to the sun to promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body. They can also take cod liver oil under the guidance of a doctor. Because glass will block the ultraviolet rays in the sun, it will not do anything indoors. In addition, although some infants and young children increase their outdoor activities, they still lack calcium, mainly due to insufficient calcium intake in their daily diet. Milk is the best source of calcium supplementation for infants and young children. From the point of view of the degree of easy absorption of calcium, breast milk is the best, followed by formula milk, and then fresh milk.
2. Children drink yogurt at night to help supplement calcium
Many parents like to give children and yogurt, in fact, yogurt is one of the best drinks for calcium supplementation. Generally speaking, drinking yogurt between 30 minutes and 2 hours after a meal has the best effect. Under normal conditions, the pH value of gastric juice is between 1 and 3; when fasting, the gastric juice is acidic, and the pH value is below 2, which is not suitable for the growth of active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt. Only when the pH of the stomach is relatively high can the lactic acid bacteria in the yogurt grow fully, which is beneficial to health. About two hours after a meal, the human gastric juice is diluted, and the pH value will rise to 3 to 5. Drinking yogurt at this time is the most beneficial for absorbing the nutrients.
It should be noted that if you drink yogurt on an empty stomach, it is easy to stimulate gastrointestinal emptying, and the nutrients in the yogurt will be discharged before complete digestion and absorption; drinking after a meal can reduce irritation and allow the yogurt to be slowly absorbed in the stomach absorb.
Drinking yogurt at night is the best for calcium supplementation. Yogurt is a good source of calcium in food. From the perspective of calcium supplementation, drinking yogurt at night has more benefits. Because 12 o'clock in the evening to early morning is the time when the body's blood calcium content is the lowest, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium in food. At the same time, there are fewer factors affecting calcium absorption in the human body during this time period. Although milk also contains high calcium, compared with it, the combination of lactic acid and calcium contained in yogurt can play a role in promoting calcium absorption.
However, when you drink yogurt at night, you must remember that certain bacteria and acidic substances in yogurt can damage your teeth to a certain extent. Brush your teeth in time after drinking.
3. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to calcium supplementation from food
For the correct method of calcium supplementation for middle-aged and elderly people, food calcium supplementation is safer than drug calcium supplementation and will not cause excessive blood calcium.
Middle-aged and elderly people insist on drinking two glasses of milk every day, and eat more calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, dried shrimps, soybeans, green beans, tofu, and sesame paste. Secondly, choose a healthy lifestyle, drink less coffee and cola, and don't smoke, these will cause bone loss. In addition, sun exposure and outdoor exercise are also conducive to the absorption and utilization of calcium. These are safe calcium supplements, and it is not necessary for middle-aged or elderly people to take calcium every day.
To supplement calcium, it is necessary to supplement collagen. Many elderly people believe that calcium supplementation is good for bone health. In fact, bone health refers to the health of the entire skeletal system, including bones, cartilage, joints, tendons, ligaments, etc. And simple calcium supplementation can only promote osteogenesis, but cannot guarantee the flexibility, flexibility, shock resistance, tension resistance and overall coordination of the entire skeletal system. Therefore, for middle-aged and elderly people, only by comprehensively supplementing bone nutrition, so that the nutrients in the bones can be balanced, can the whole body be strong, flexible and elastic. In addition, middle-aged and elderly people should also pay attention to supplementing collagen while supplementing calcium. Only by strengthening the nutritional balance including magnesium, manganese, zinc, etc., can bone health in the true sense be achieved.
Excessive calcium supplementation can cause illness. Many elderly people mistakenly believe that the more calcium is supplemented and the more calcium is absorbed, the more bones will be formed. In fact, this is not the case. Calcium is absorbed by humans in this way: Calcium is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and enters the blood to form blood calcium (that is, the content of calcium in the blood), and then through bone metabolism, the blood calcium deposits calcium salts to form bones. It's not that the more calcium you eat, the more bones you will form. The content of calcium in the blood must be maintained at a certain level, too much or too little will not work. Excessive calcium supplementation and high blood calcium content in the blood can lead to hypercalcemia. Elderly people over the age of 60 need to take in 800 mg of calcium per day. Excessive amounts can harm their health.
Misunderstandings of calcium supplementation
1. Excessive heating of milk destroys the enzymes in it and hinders the absorption of calcium.
2. Drinking milk while eating meat, too much animal protein will increase the excretion of calcium in the urine.
3. Greedy fast food. Cola beverages and processed foods (such as sausages, ham) usually add phosphate, and excessive phosphorus will affect the absorption of calcium.
4. Put spinach, bamboo shoots and other vegetables with more oxalic acid in the bone soup. Once oxalic acid and calcium in vegetables synthesize calcium oxalate, calcium is difficult to absorb.
Be sure to low salt when supplementing calcium
Parents must pay attention when supplementing calcium for their children, and food must be low in salt. Because calcium and sodium tend to compete in the process of reabsorption in the renal tubules, when sodium intake is high, the body will correspondingly reduce calcium absorption and increase urinary calcium excretion. Studies have found that the more salt intake, the more calcium excreted in the urine, the worse the absorption of calcium. It can be said that a high-sodium diet is an important killer of calcium supplementation.
Therefore, people must pay attention to a low-salt diet when supplementing calcium, and eat less or not foods that add too much sodium during processing and production, such as cured meats or smoked foods, pickles, and salty snacks. It is best to drink milk and eat calcium tablets about 2 hours away from the meal time to reduce the direct frontal conflict between sodium and calcium. If you want to drink the ribs soup to replenish calcium, you should add less salt when you boil the ribs soup, otherwise the calcium content in the ribs soup will be very low.
Many parents think that drinking more ribs soup helps to replenish calcium, but it is not. A pound of ribs contains only 25 mg of calcium, and the calcium in bone broth is only one-tenth of that of ribs. The daily calcium requirement of children over 3 years old is 800 mg. "
