It is hot and humid in Lingnan area, and the food culture in our area is doomed to be inseparable from soup. Most Cantonese people think that soup has the function of keeping healthy and nourishing the body, but it is not appropriate to drink soup blindly. Today, I will talk about the time period and intake that should be paid attention to when drinking soup.

1, soup topic

Many people are used to drinking soup after meals. The order of serving in many restaurants is the main course before soup, but some people say that soup should be eaten before meals. Should soup be eaten before meals or after meals?

2, it is best to drink soup before meals.

As the old saying goes, "Soup before meals is better than medicine. In fact, this statement is very reasonable. When eating, food passes through the mouth, throat, esophagus and finally reaches the stomach, which is like a passage. Drinking soup before eating is equivalent to clearing this passage and allowing hard food to pass through without irritating the digestive tract mucosa. It is better to drink soup about 20 minutes before meals, and you can also drink soup slowly and in small quantities during meals, which is helpful to dilute and stir food, thus facilitating gastrointestinal digestion and absorption of food.

3. Time period and intake

Although drinking soup before meals is good for health, it does not mean that the more you drink, the better. Under normal circumstances, you can drink more breakfast properly, because people will lose more water in the morning after sleeping all night; It is advisable to drink half a bowl of soup before meals, especially at night, otherwise frequent nocturia will affect sleep.

And some people are wet, so don't drink too much soup when you sweat less.
