"Soup before meals is better than a good prescription."

"Drinking soup before meals is slim and healthy."

As can be seen from these folk proverbs, China has the habit of keeping in good health with soup since ancient times, and drinking soup before eating is favored by the broad masses of the people.

Eating and drinking soup is a habit of many people, but some health problems derived from drinking soup have puzzled many people.

For example, the timing of eating soup, whether it is healthy before or after meals, has troubled many friends.

There are two main views on eating soup before meals and eating soup after meals.

According to this view, drinking soup before meals is more conducive to health and weight control.

Because drinking a bowl of soup before meals, the space in the stomach is occupied by water, and the feeling of fullness will be very strong, and the follow-up food will be eaten less, thus playing a role in losing weight.

On the contrary, if you eat soup after meals, you will be at risk of getting fatter and fatter.

Because when you have a full meal, your stomach is full. At this time, drinking some soup will make your stomach fuller and increase the burden on your stomach. Moreover, eating soup after eating is easy to lead to overnutrition and obesity.

This view holds that drinking soup before meals is not good for the stomach.

This view is based on gastric acid. Don't they think that when you drink soup before meals, your stomach acid is diluted by the soup? When gastric acid is diluted, it affects the digestion and absorption function of the stomach for food.

Moreover, some people have insufficient gastric acid secretion. Isn't it more diluted to eat a whole bowl of soup before meals?

Therefore, they think it is unhealthy to drink soup before meals.

One said it was good to drink soup before meals, and the other said it was unhealthy to drink soup before meals. It's really tangled. Which is better to believe? Is it so difficult to drink soup?

Actually, it's not difficult for us to have soup. We think drinking soup is very complicated!

For us normal people, whether we eat soup before meals or after meals, changing the order has little effect on us.

Simply discussing whether it is healthier to drink soup before meals or after meals is not the key to the problem!

The key to the problem is: how much soup to drink and what soup to drink!

We usually drink soup in a small bowl, so that we can enjoy the delicious soup without taking up too much space in the stomach, so as not to make the stomach swell.

If you drink a lot of soup before meals and your stomach is full, how can you eat staple food? After getting used to this diet, it is difficult to keep up with the nutrition of the body over time, which is not worth the candle.

Nutritional and healthy soup should meet these elements, with less oil, less salt and less sugar.

It was reported in the news that the risk assessment team of a food safety center in a certain place randomly tested the sodium content of 130 common soup samples in the market for three months, and found that the average sodium content of all soup samples was 720 mg per bowl, which was about 1.8 g of salt.

If the daily intake of salt is 5g according to the recommendation of the World Health Organization, then a bowl of such soup already accounts for 36% of the daily sodium content. These soups with excessive sodium content will definitely be unhealthy for a long time.

In addition to these soups with excessive salt content, drinking too much greasy soup will also have an impact on the body, especially for patients with high blood pressure and high blood pressure. The salty and greasy soup is very unfavorable for their disease control.

These soups, whether eaten before or after meals, will have a great impact on human health, which is why what soup we drink is more important than when!

For us ordinary people, drinking a small bowl of soup before and after meals doesn't have much effect. How to choose depends on your preference. Remember not to drink too much, not high in oil, sodium and sugar!
