As the saying goes, "Drinking soup before meals is better than good medicine", this is scientifically justified. Because from the mouth, throat, esophagus to the stomach, it is like a passage, which is the only way for food. Before eating, drink a few mouthfuls of soup, which is equivalent to adding a "lubricant" to this section of the digestive tract, so that the food can be swallowed smoothly, which can effectively prevent dry and hard food from irritating the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. It is also beneficial to add some soup when eating, because it helps to dilute and stir the food, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food by the gastrointestinal tract. If you do not drink soup before meals and do not add soup during meals, the excessive secretion of gastric juice will cause excessive body fluid loss after meals and cause thirst. Drinking water at this time will dilute the gastric juice and affect the absorption and digestion. Therefore, nutritionists believe that the habit of constantly taking soup before and during meals can reduce the occurrence of esophagitis and gastritis. Those who often drink various soups, milk and soy milk are also the easiest to maintain a healthy digestive tract. status. Drinking soup before meals is good for your health, not that the more you drink, the better. In general, it is advisable to drink half a bowl of soup before lunch and dinner, and more before breakfast. This is because after a night of sleep, the body loses more water and needs to replenish water. Researcher Ge Keyou, chairman of the Chinese Nutrition Society, believes that drinking soup before and after meals is a matter of personal eating habits, and there is no conclusion in nutrition. Therefore, the key to the problem of drinking soup is which soup to drink and how much soup to drink. If you drink a small amount of delicious and protein-rich soup before meals, you can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and prepare it to accept food; if you drink a large bowl of soy sauce soup, it will not only dilute the gastric juice, but may also eat too much Sodium salt is not good for health.
