In order to save time or out of personal taste preference, many people like to soak in rice, especially the elderly, and some parents often soak in rice to feed their children. However, there is a saying in China that "the soup for soaking rice is chewy". Paofan is not as soft and easy to digest as we thought. Soaking rice is a mixture of soup and rice. Soaking rice can't make food as sticky as porridge. In addition, the soaked rice contains a lot of water, which will be easy to swallow and reduce the chewing time of food. If food is swallowed quickly with soup before it is fully chewed, the taste nerve on the tongue will be too late to receive stimulation, thus making it impossible for people to taste and perceive the delicious taste brought by the mixture of various foods.
In fact, under normal circumstances, food is chewed with teeth and stirred with tongue, so that chyme (which looks like mushy food) is formed in the stomach after mechanical preliminary digestion. Then slowly enter the duodenum through the pylorus, and finally get nutrition. However, most soups and rice in soup are eaten directly without chewing. Food has not been preliminarily digested in the mouth, and its nutrients will not be easily absorbed by the body. In the long run, it is easy to lead to insufficient intake of some nutrients. In fact, long-term consumption of soup and soaked rice will not only affect the comprehensive absorption of nutrition, but also easily cause some injuries and diseases to the human body.
Physical dyspepsia affects tissue development.
Long-term consumption of soup and rice will lead to the decline of mechanical digestive function, such as masticatory muscle atrophy, which will seriously become what everyone calls "snake face" In addition, in early childhood, the simple action of chewing food will directly stimulate the development of children's jaws. Once there is no chewing exercise, it will seriously affect the normal growth and development of permanent teeth and maxillofacial bones, resulting in tooth crowding and dislocation.
Chemical dyspepsia affects the whole absorption.
It takes time for normal food to enter the stomach from the mouth, but the way of soaking rice will speed up eating. Too much food will enter the stomach in a short time, and the secretion of digestive enzymes is relatively insufficient, which leads to chemical dyspepsia and increases the gastrointestinal burden. In addition, eating too much in a short time will inevitably increase the pressure on the duodenum and increase the risk of "duodenal ulcer".
Generally speaking, soaking in rice is not healthy, and it is even "harmful" if eaten for a long time. In addition, the process of chewing all kinds of food in your mouth and stirring your tongue is a wonderful physical examination in itself. So, don't be lazy, learn to chew slowly and enjoy the process of eating with your heart.
