2. The water in the soup can lubricate the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach, make the food swallow more smoothly, prevent dry and hard food from stimulating the mucosa of the digestive tract, and also promote the downward discharge of substances in the gastrointestinal tract, which plays a certain role in clearing away and leaving room for the upcoming fresh food. In this way, the stomach can work better and the nutrition will be better absorbed.

Misunderstanding of drinking soup:
1, like to drink hot soup just cooked.
Just cooked soup is often very hot, but many people just like to drink this very hot soup, thinking that drinking it will warm their stomachs and bodies. In fact, people's mouth, esophagus and gastric mucosa can only tolerate the temperature of 60 degrees at most. If the temperature exceeds this temperature, it will cause mucosal burns and even malignant changes in the digestive tract mucosa, so the soup below 50 degrees is more suitable.
2, soup is fast.
The slower you eat soup, the better: American nutritionists point out that if you extend the time of eating, you can fully enjoy the taste of food and feel full in advance. The same is true for soup. Eating soup slowly will leave enough time for the digestion and absorption of food. When you feel full, you eat just right. While eating soup quickly, I realize that I am full, and I may eat more than I need.
