Eat chicken to strengthen muscles. Master 2 secrets to cook soft and tender chicken dishes

The ratio of sarcopenia among mature men and women in Taiwan reaches more than two%. Studies have found that the body between the ages of 30 and 60 will "grow fat and reduce muscles", reducing the average annual decrease of 0.23 kilograms of muscle and increasing the fat by 0.45 kilograms. After the age of 50, the muscles will decrease by 1% each year. However, elderly people are engaging in simple food, picking soft food, and eating three meals, which leads to accelerated muscle loss. Dong's Foundation reminds that chicken is a source of excellent protein. By making good use of the two tricks of "fruit water" and "curing" to make soft and tender chicken dishes.

Xu Huiyu, director of the Food Nutrition Center of Dong's Foundation, said that sports neurodegeneration, decreased hormones, decreased protein synthesis rate, insufficient nutrition, and sitting and restlessness are all causes of sarcopenia; at the same time, fat tissues will slowly accumulate, called "amycotary obesity."

Xu Huiyu pointed out that muscle synthesis requires branched amino acids, and three humans cannot be synthesized, and chicken and egg milk are good sources. For every 100 grams of peeled chicken brisket, there are 1 gram of amylic acid, 1 gram of leucic acid, and nearly 2 grams of white amylic acid. Compared with red meat, the chicken meat and fat content is lower, and it contains almost no fat after peeling. However, most seniors eat light tea and meals, and many people think that chicken meat is too hard and don’t eat it, which may accelerate muscle loss.

Xu Huiyu said that using two tricks of "filling water" and "curing" can help the chicken meat be tender. "Food water" means putting the refrigerated meat into a bowl, adding a small amount of water slowly and mixing with your hands in the same direction until the meat no longer absorbs water. After completion, pour a little oil on it to help lock the water, but pay special attention to using cold meat, because the meat is often warm and does not eat water.

"Meat" is to soak chicken in milk, grater or salt water, and place it in the refrigerator overnight. You can use 200 ml of water and add a teaspoon of salt.

Xu Huiyu suggested that chicken meat can also be used instead of pig meat as lion heads, which can be used to make it easier to put it in the mouth and reduce fat. For the remaining chicken meat, the more it cooks, the more it is cooked, the more it can be cut into small pieces, and the fried sour tart, eggs, minced garlic, and bread flour can be made into chicken fried dough, which can be bitten by both elderly and children.
