Chicken Thigh and Boiled Chayote
Overview
My family can't finish two meals without killing a chicken, so I often break the chicken into several portions and store them on ice in the refrigerator. When I want to eat, I take out one portion. I picked some chayote from my mother's house. The chayote is delicious when cooked with chicken. Chayote fruit contains high levels of zinc and has significant effects on children’s intellectual development, male and female infertility, especially male sexual dysfunction, and can alleviate vision decline in the elderly. The calcium content of tender melons grown for 20 days is more than 2 times higher than that of cucumbers, winter melons and zucchini, and the iron content is 4 times that of pumpkins and 12 times that of cucumbers. Chayote is comprehensive and rich in nutrients among melon vegetables. Regular consumption is beneficial to enhancing the body's ability to resist diseases. The protein and calcium content of chayote is 2-3 times that of cucumber, and the vitamin and mineral content are also significantly higher than other melons. It is also very low in calories and is a low-sodium food. It is a health-care vegetable for patients with heart disease and hypertension. Regular consumption of chayote can diuretic and excrete sodium, dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
