Would you rather eat meat-free than soup-free rice? This sentence is especially applicable to people in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. My hometown is Quanzhou, Fujian. In our place, there can be no vegetables for every meal, but there must be soup. A meal without soup is like not eating. If you hold a banquet at home, more than half of the 20 big dishes must be soup. Is soup really that important? How should we drink soup correctly, so that we can not only absorb the nutrition in soup, but also prevent from gaining weight and forming fat. Today we will talk about the secret of drinking soup.

The so-called soups in the south are very particular, simmered slowly and nutritious, or the soup is carefully boiled; The soup of northerners is much simpler, such as vegetable roll soup, laver egg drop soup, tomato egg drop soup and even noodle soup. There is no doubt that no matter what kind of soup, most people like it. The soup is rich in nutrients, the nutrients of the raw materials are not easy to lose, and it is also beneficial to digestion and absorption, and the people suitable for eating are more comprehensive and extensive. But whether it is better to drink soup before meals or after meals is a question that many people argue endlessly. As a Fujian native, I definitely queue up for soup before meals, because eating soup before meals can not only ensure the absorption of nutrients, but also help to keep fit.

We call drinking soup before meals a health-preserving soup-drinking method. Why do you say that? Because our esophagus and oral cavity have been idle for a period of time and are in a relatively dry state, drinking soup at this time can moisten the esophagus and oral cavity, thus paving the way for eating later, reducing their stimulation to digestive mucosa and promoting digestion and absorption. In addition, many people admire drinking soup before meals, thinking that soup contains a lot of water, which can make people feel full, thus reducing their food intake in the future, and over time, it can play a role in losing weight. Eating soup after a meal is just the opposite. When the stomach is almost saturated, eating a certain amount of soup will undoubtedly increase the burden on the stomach, make it bigger, and lead to obesity due to overnutrition.

Although drinking soup is good for health, there are several precautions. First of all, don't drink hot and high-temperature soup, which will hurt the esophagus and mouth; Second, don't drink boiling soup many times. After many times of boiling, the substance in the soup changes, which is harmful to the human body; Third, drink soup slowly, not too fast, which is not good for your health.
