Third, the precautions for drinking health soup
As the saying goes, "soup before meals is not as good as medicine", in fact, this statement is reasonable. When eating, food passes through the mouth, throat, esophagus and finally reaches the stomach, which is like a passage. The time to drink soup is about 20 minutes before meals, or you can drink soup slowly and in small quantities.
Although drinking soup before meals is good for health, it does not mean that the more you drink, the better. Drink more breakfast properly, because people will lose more water in the morning after a night's sleep. It is advisable to drink half a bowl of soup before lunch and dinner, especially at night, otherwise frequent nocturia will affect sleep.
1 is most suitable for drinking broth in the morning, because the broth is rich in protein and fat, which can be digested in the body for 3-5 hours to avoid people's hunger and hypoglycemia during 10- 12 am.
2. Drinking different soups in different seasons can prevent seasonal diseases. For example, it is advisable to drink mung bean soup in summer and mutton soup in winter.
Fat people are suitable for drinking a bowl of vegetable soup before meals, which can satisfy their appetite and help them lose weight. People who are thin can strengthen their physique by drinking soup with high sugar and high protein.
4. Pregnant women, lactating women, the elderly and children can drink half a bowl of bone soup before eating to supplement the calcium needed by the body. Note that patients with fractures should not drink bone soup.
5, when you have a cold, it is not suitable for soup tonic. Even mild American ginseng is best not to be taken, because these greasy soups tend to aggravate cold symptoms.
6. You can't just drink one or two soups for a long time. You should alternate various soups and drinks, which can increase appetite and balance nutrition. Soup with dietotherapy function should be drunk regularly to play its role, and it is advisable to drink it 2-3 times a week.
7, suitable for drinking mild soup before menstruation, do not drink nourishing soup, so as not to make up too much and lead to excessive menstrual blood.
