      When cooking vegetables, you should chop them as much as possible and stir-fry them for a longer time to ensure that the vegetables are softer and less rotten. For vegetables containing more plant fiber, such as celery, leeks, etc., the cooking time should be appropriately increased. For vegetables containing more phytic acid, such as spinach, blanch them in hot water first to better absorb the calcium in the vegetables.

      Keep drinking milk

      The absorption rate of calcium in general food is very low, and the ability of the elderly to absorb calcium is even lower. Therefore, calcium deficiency is a common phenomenon among the elderly. Milk and its products have the highest calcium content and highest absorption rate among all foods. Before the elderly drink milk, it is best to boil the milk and let it cool to remove the upper fat, which can reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids. In addition, kefir is more conducive to the digestion and absorption of the elderly.
