With the continuous progress of economy and society, modern people's health concept is getting stronger and stronger. China's regimen has a long history, and many people make the past serve the present through dietotherapy. However, the north and the south are slightly different. Northerners advocate eating soup in the morning, while southerners advocate eating porridge in the morning. These two ways of keeping in good health have their own merits, and there is no difference between good and bad, which is only caused by different eating habits in different places.

First, the health benefits of southerners eating porridge are well known. The south is rich in rice. It is a common practice for many southern families to cook a pot of delicious porridge with rice for breakfast. Porridge is essentially a dish made of rice mixed with water and other ingredients. Thinner than rice and richer in water, it is beneficial to supplement the water needed by the body and promote intestinal digestion and absorption. Eating porridge in the morning can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, regulate the stomach and intestines, moisturize dry skin and replenish the water lost overnight, which is a good choice for health preservation.

Second, the benefits of northerners drinking soup for health. The climatic conditions in the north are different from those in the south. The north is rich in wheat, and the porridge cooked with it is not as delicious as the south, but the water and rice are completely different. Therefore, northerners do not have the habit of eating porridge for breakfast, and usually have soup for breakfast. Soup is a dish in which various nutrients are concentrated in water. Drinking soup in the morning is similar to drinking porridge in the morning. First, it can replenish the water lost overnight and moisturize the throat and skin; Secondly, it can promote digestion and help the intestine absorb nutrients better. As breakfast, vegetable soup and fish soup are more suitable, which can not only supplement the nutrients needed by the human body, but also not be too greasy, and can always keep people's appetite.

In short, drinking porridge and soup in the morning does have a good health-preserving effect, so it is not necessary to stick to whether it is better to drink soup in the north or porridge in the south. Different places have different customs and eating habits; Different people also have different dietary preferences. We should choose the most suitable regimen according to the actual situation.
