List of 6 soup-drinking habits that are harmful to your body. Many people do the first one every day!

Speaking of soup

Many people think

All the nutrients are in the soup!

“Bone soup” is very good for calcium!

It is better to drink soup before meals than after meals

…

But in fact

These understandings and ideas about soup

They are all wrong!

Huaxi doctors remind

If you have the following 6 soup drinking habits

Change it quickly!

no!

The wrong idea that "soup is more nutritious than meat" is held not only by the elderly, but also by many middle-aged and young people. Although we have popularized this idea several times before, we still have to say it again specifically to the older generation - soup really does not have much nutritional value, so never drink soup without eating meat again !

I'm sorry, from a nutritional point of view, the nutritional value of soup is not as high as you might think, and drinking too much may not be good for you .

In the process of boiling fish soup, bone soup, and meat soup, although a small amount of protein will be dissolved, fat and purine will also be dissolved at the same time.

If you only drink soup and don't eat meat, it is equivalent to throwing away more than 90% of the protein and drinking a lot of purine, fat and salt . It's not cost-effective to think about it.

no!

Cooking soup for a long time will not only cause the loss of nutrients in the ingredients, but also increase the purine and fat content in the soup , which is not good for health.

Doctors at West China Medical University remind that vegetable soup should be cooked until the ingredients are slightly softened, and meat soup should be cooked for about 1 hour, and should not exceed 2 hours at the longest !

no!

Some people have an obsession with milky thick soup, thinking that this kind of soup is particularly "nourishing".

In fact, the reason why the soup is milky white is that the fat is emulsified during the cooking process. The fat particles appear milky white due to the effect of light . It has nothing to do with its nutritional value!

On the contrary, long-term excessive fat intake will increase the burden on the human body and cause damage to the digestive system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, etc.

no!

Although having a bowl of delicious meat soup in winter is really delicious.

However, the more delicious the soup is, the more nitrogen-containing extracts such as creatinine, creatine and purine it contains . Excessive intake of these substances will increase the burden on our body, and long-term consumption will have a certain impact on health.

no!

In some old views, bone soup has always been considered a good thing.

Bone oil is full of calcium. Wouldn't it be a great tonic if you used it to make soup?

You're overthinking it. Bone soup tastes good, but its calcium supplement effect is minimal .

Bones are high in calcium, but they are extremely difficult to dissolve, let alone absorb . According to tests, the calcium content in bone soup made from 1 kilogram of pork ribs is only 15 mg, less than one-tenth of the calcium in bones!

As for bone marrow oil , it actually contains a lot of fat , and eating it can easily make you gain weight...

Some people say that drinking soup before meals can give the stomach less space to hold food, which helps with weight loss.

But in fact, it takes 20 minutes for the stomach to transmit the message to the brain that it can’t eat anymore. That means you have to wait 20 minutes after drinking the soup before eating . It depends on you whether you can hold it in!

Drinking soup after a meal can easily lead to overeating . Think about those 20 minutes!

So whether to drink it before or after meals depends entirely on personal preference!

Although soup is not as nutritious as meat, drinking soup is like drinking hot water, which is our Chinese eating habit!

For the sake of health, it is recommended that you drink soup like this 👇

Eat meat even when drinking soup

After all, most of the nutrients that are good for the human body are in meat.

Use less salt and oil

Soups that are high in salt and fat have adverse effects on blood pressure control and the health of the cardiovascular system.

Don't drink soup that's too hot

When the weather is cold, everyone wants to drink something hot, but the World Health Organization mentioned that soup that is too hot will increase the risk of esophageal cancer .

It is recommended that the temperature of soup you drink should not exceed 65℃.

Although the soup is delicious and can warm your body and stomach, you should still drink less! Drink less! Drink less! (It is better to drink more hot water)
