Elderly people using bird's nest: what health considerations should be noted?

Edible bird's nest is a food and does not have a fixed medicinal dosage for the elderly. Because many elderly people have underlying conditions and are taking medications, the safest way is to consult a doctor or a nutritionist before use, rather than following traditional dosing schedules on your own.

Things to consider

• Diabetes, high blood fat: bird's nest soup often includes rock sugar. Consult your doctor about the appropriate amount of sugar; it can be cooked lightly or without sugar.
• Kidney disease and protein-restricted diet: if your doctor requires protein control, ask before use.
• Allergy: if using for the first time, start with a small amount and monitor.
• Taking medications: inform your doctor about the foods you regularly consume.
• Difficulty swallowing or weak teeth: cook softly and make it thin to ease swallowing.

Prepare in a way that is easy to eat and clean.

• Clean and steam thoroughly (see how long to steam bird's nest properly).
• Steam just enough for use, avoid storing for too long and reheating repeatedly (see how to preserve).
• Use only as a supplementary dish, not as a meal replacement or medicine.
