My mother is old and can’t eat too greasy dishes, but I have to keep up with the nutrition, so I often use kelp and pork bones to cook the soup, which is nutritious and delicious, refreshing and delicious, not greasy, old lady like very much. Kelp is also a kind of food with very high nutritional value, and it has the reputation of "the crown of alkaline food"; in addition to the high iodine we know, the content of selenium and dietary fiber is also high, which not only has the effect of lowering blood pressure and lipid; It also has the effect of beautifying and losing weight. It can also remove free radicals in the body and delay aging. Eating some kelp regularly can help our intestines move quickly, thereby improving constipation. This way, the body's nutrient absorption and regulation can not be better for the elderly.

Tips:
1. Dried kelp needs to be soaked in advance. If you want to soak for a short time, you can use warm water and white vinegar. It can be soaked in about 1 hour.
2. Bone bones must be blanched before boiling the soup to remove blood and impurities, so that the soup will be more refreshing and delicious.
3. When boiling the soup, you can pour more water, try not to add water in the middle; and don't add too many spices and ingredients, which will affect the taste of the soup and destroy the nutrition of the soup itself.
