From the mouth, throat, esophagus to the stomach, it is like a passage, which is the only way for food. Before eating, drinking a few mouthfuls of soup (or a little water) is equivalent to adding a little "lubricant" to this digestive tract, so that food can be swallowed smoothly and hard objects can avoid irritating the mucosa of the digestive tract. It is also beneficial to drink soup from time to time with meals. Because it helps to dilute and stir food, it is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, for obese people, drinking some soup before meals is easy to cause satiety in the stomach and is also conducive to losing weight.

If you don't drink soup before meals, you will secrete a lot of gastric juice and lose too much body fluid after meals, resulting in thirst. Drinking water at this time will dilute gastric juice and affect the absorption and digestion of food. Some nutritionists believe that developing the habit of drinking soup before or during meals can also reduce the occurrence of esophagitis and gastritis. At the same time, it is also found that people who often drink all kinds of soup, milk and soybean milk are also the easiest to keep the digestive tract healthy.
