Proper calcium supplementation can prevent osteoporosis and maintain bone health. Add 2 types of meat containing calcium to your diet.

Fish meat

Fish meat is rich in vitamin D and calcium, which not only supplements calcium but also promotes calcium absorption. Moreover, fish meat is characterized by being rich in protein and low in fat, and will not put too much pressure on blood lipids and blood sugar in the elderly.

The unsaturated fatty acids in it can enhance brain cell activity and improve memory. The texture of the fish meat is relatively soft and soft, very suitable for the elderly to chew, digest, and absorb.

However, we should not eat too much sashimi because it can contain many parasites, which are harmful to health after consumption. Elderly people should eat fish 2-3 times a week, each time 80-120 grams and it is best to choose how to steam.

Shrimp

100 grams of shrimp contains about 1.4 grams of calcium. People with osteoporosis need to supplement 1-1.2 grams of calcium per day. The daily diet can provide about 0.4 grams of calcium, so in addition to ensuring a daily diet, you should also eat more shrimp.

Shrimp meat is rich in protein and vitamins, delicious, easy to digest, so it is very suitable to supplement calcium for the elderly. However, patients with asthma and gout should not eat shrimp.
