Hello everyone, I am Four Seasons! Speaking of staple foods, most people eat rice and steamed buns. They are delicious, but they are processed staple foods and have high calories.
For middle-aged and elderly people, long-term consumption of high-calorie and high-sugar staple foods can easily cause overnutrition, causing fat to accumulate in the body, thereby forming obesity and physical weakness, and causing problems such as increased blood sugar.
I have an nutritionist friend said that when people want to supplement more nutrition when they are middle-aged, they should eat less rice and steamed buns, because their nutritional components are relatively single, and the main nutrients are freshwater compounds. Eating them for a long time will lead to nutritional deficiency.
If we want to change this situation, we can eat more of the following two staple foods. They are all low-calorie and high-nutrition ingredients. Eating them regularly can fill your lungs all day long. Here are two recipes.
. Sweet potato
As a representative of coarse grains, it is the most suitable ingredient for autumn to eat. After buying it home, you can directly steam it and cook it. It contains a lot of dietary fiber. Eating it regularly can lower lipids, improve immunity, prevent constipation, and strengthen your body and life.

Step 2: Steam it and take it out, stir it into a paste with chopsticks, and then pour water into grind glutinous rice flour. Remember to use a small amount of it multiple times. If it is too dry, you can add some water to mix it and rub them evenly with your bare hands. The same is true for purple potatoes.
Step 3: After the dough is finished, pull out a small piece and knead it into a small ball, put it in a tray next to it for later use; boil water from the pot, put the small dumplings in and cook, and all float on the water surface, which means that the dumplings are cooked thoroughly.

2. Corn flour
It is actually a powder ground with corn kernels. Middle-aged and elderly people with weak spleen and stomach can use it to make porridge. It has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, protecting eyes and improving eyesight. If you don’t like drinking porridge, you can also make it into pasta. It is burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
