When preparing soup and porridge for the frail elderly, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Choose fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients have higher nutritional value and are more conducive to absorption by the elderly.

Salt control: the kidney function of the elderly is weak, so it is necessary to control the salt in soup and porridge to avoid increasing the burden on the kidney.

Moderate consumption: Although soup porridge is rich in nutrition, eating too much at one time is easy to cause indigestion. Therefore, it is necessary to eat in moderation to avoid causing gastrointestinal burden to the elderly.

Pay attention to the temperature of eating: too hot soup porridge is easy to burn the elderly, so wait until the soup porridge is slightly cold before eating.

Caring for the frail elderly and preparing nutritious soup and porridge for them is not only to convey love and care, but also to protect their health. I hope these recipes can add a little warmth and nourishment to your health journey.
