Experts remind: Elderly people should not overcook vegetables when eating

　　In life, a considerable number of elderly people have misunderstandings about how to eat vegetables, which makes them lose many opportunities to obtain nutrition because their food intake is limited.
　　
　　The first is not eating enough dark leafy vegetables. A survey by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in recent years showed that elderly Dark vegetables account for only 1/3 of the vegetables eaten daily. Coupled with the unbalanced intake of fat, calories and salt, this has led to a serious imbalance in the proportion of potassium and sodium in the body of the Chinese elderly.
　　
　　In fact, it makes sense to advocate eating more dark-colored leafy vegetables. The vitamin K, calcium and riboflavin contents of dark green vegetables such as spinach, rape, and broccoli are many times higher than those of light-colored vegetables. The contents of various vitamins in dark vegetables such as red, yellow, and green are higher than those of light-colored vegetables and fruits.
　　
　　In fact, this will boil out many of the water-soluble vitamins in the vegetables. In the end, you will only eat some fiber, which has little nutritional value. Therefore, it is best for the elderly not to use the "bad vegetable soup" method.
　　
　　In addition, try not to throw away the outer leaves when eating green vegetables, because the outer leaves of green vegetables contain more vitamin C than the inner leaves; you may also wish to eat vegetables with the same bacteria Mushrooms Eat them together to make them more nutritious and balanced.
　　
　　"Wash first and then cut, stir-fry over high heat, eat more cold dishes, have various varieties and choose dark colors. "It’s the 20-word secret for making vegetables for the elderly.
