When it comes to soup, we in China have more research.

But what you may not know is that

The order of eating soup is also very particular

▼▼▼

Some people think that drinking a bowl of soup before meals.

It is not easy to eat more food, because it can moisten the stomach and "bottom" first.

Will be slimmer and healthier for a long time.

But some people think that eating a big bowl of soup before meals.

Gastric acid will be greatly diluted, which may affect digestion

I think it's better for my stomach to drink soup after meals.

Do you usually have soup before or after meals?

Why? Is this really particular?

There is no need to generalize with each other.

In this regard, Professor Liu Fengbin, director of the Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, explained that in the south, when it is hot, people are prone to sweating, lack of body fluid and thirst. Drink a small bowl or half bowl of soup before meals to replenish water and moisten the digestive tract, so that food is easier to swallow. In cold weather, a small bowl of hot soup before meals can quickly warm the stomach and body. So many southerners like to drink soup before meals.

But eating too much soup before meals really takes up a lot of stomach capacity, especially for thirsty friends. Not eating too much food will make people feel full soon. Some people get hungry easily after eating soup before meals, so they are used to eating vegetables first and drinking a small bowl of soup at last. Especially in the cold zone, the human body consumes a lot, and the body needs enough energy reserves. Drink a bowl of soup after eating. Some people call it "sliding seam", which is more comfortable, more hungry and more cold-resistant.

It can be seen that under certain conditions

It makes sense to drink soup before meals or after meals.

It is not static, and there is no need to generalize.

Drinking soup is also part of the daily diet.

Healthy people can be based on personal circumstances.

As long as it is moderate and comfortable, each has its own advantages.

Fat people drink before meals and thin people drink after meals.

Now the standard of living has improved.

There are many kinds of food, facing all kinds of delicious food.

Many people can't control their mouths and eat too much at every meal.

Chronic overnutrition

Even lead to obesity, "three highs" and other diseases.

"So, some special people are a little particular about the way they drink soup." Liu Fengbin said, for example, overweight obese people, most of whom can't control their mouths, overeat for a long time, consume too much energy, "can't walk", and their energy consumption is lower than their intake for a long time. He suggested that such people are usually more suitable for drinking a bowl of soup before meals, so that they won't feel hungry and then eat less.

On the contrary, if you often eat first and then drink soup every time you are full, after a long time, your stomach will be too full, and your appetite will get bigger and bigger. Therefore, fat people who like to drink soup are advised to drink soup before meals. It is best to drink less "old fire soup" with high fat content and drink more light vegetable soup, which is indeed more helpful to control weight in the long run.

Thin people are the opposite. Liu Fengbin suggested that people who want to gain weight properly can often drink soup after meals, so that their stomachs will be fuller than usual and their appetite will be slightly larger, which is more conducive to gaining weight. But to a certain extent, we should exercise restraint, or we will eat more and more and gain too much weight.

In addition, people who are usually indigestion, prone to bloating and insufficient secretion of gastric juice should not drink soup before meals, so as to avoid dilution of gastric juice, which is not conducive to digestion and absorption.

Drinking soup varies from person to person and from time to time.

"Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation, and drinking soup varies from person to person."

Except for fat people and thin people, everyone has a particular taste for soup.

Some people with basic diseases should also pay due attention.

For example, the recommended daily salt intake for patients with hypertension should not exceed 6 grams. Try to drink light soup, and drink less old fire soup that is too full and delicious, because this kind of soup is often high in oil and salt, which easily leads to excessive salt intake. Similarly, people with hyperuricemia or gout should also drink less old fire soup with high purine content, especially old fire soup cooked with seafood, meat, mushrooms and other ingredients for a long time. And "old stomach trouble" is best to drink less tofu soup, because tofu is cold and difficult to digest when eaten too much. It is best to choose soup according to personal physical characteristics. Soups for clearing away heat and dampness, such as five-finger peaches, are more suitable for people with hot constitution. For people with cold constitution, you can choose Amomum villosum, dried tangerine peel, pepper, ginger and other medicinal materials to make soup.

Pay attention to the time of cooking soup.

What other common misunderstandings about drinking soup need to be understood?

▼▼▼

The soup soaked in rice is easy to digest.

Many people with upset stomachs like to drink soup and soak in rice. They think that soup softens rice and makes it unaffordable to eat. This idea is actually wrong.

Soaking rice and making soup is soft, but food often lacks chewing when eating, and it will enter the stomach without too much saliva digestion, which will increase the burden on the stomach.

Eat soup while it's hot.

Usually everyone likes to say "eat while it is hot" when eating, and "drink while it is hot" when drinking soup, thinking that hot soup is warmer and more nutritious. In fact, this is also wrong.

The surface of esophagus and oral cavity is covered with mucous membrane. In general, their body temperatures are mostly between 36.5℃ and 37.2℃, the suitable edible temperature is 10℃ ~ 40℃, and the tolerable high temperature is only below 60℃.

If the soup is too hot, it will damage the esophageal mucosa. Although the body can repair itself, if it is repeated, it will proliferate and increase the risk of esophageal cancer.

Eat soup quickly.

When you realize that you are full, you may have eaten more food than you need, which will easily lead to obesity and increase the burden of digestion.

Eating soup slowly can not only fully enjoy the taste of soup, but also leave enough time for the digestion and absorption of food. When you feel full, you eat just right.

Only soup, no meat.

Many people think that long-cooked soup is more nutritious than ingredients. Actually, it is not.

In fact, no matter how long the soup is cooked, the nutrition of meat can not be completely dissolved in the soup. So when you drink soup, you should eat the right amount of meat.

Autumn is the season of keeping in good health.

Drinking a bowl of soup is full of happiness.
