People who often eat soaked rice will have a great impact on their digestive function. Eating tangzuke rice is different from drinking soup with a meal. Vegetable soup can add water and increase appetite without affecting the chewing process of food. The disadvantage of tangzuke rice is that it reduces the chewing process. We know that

food must be chewed by the teeth first, allowing saliva to be evenly mixed into the food, so that amylase can fully play its role, convert starch into maltose, undergo preliminary digestion, and then enter the stomach intestinal. However, rice soaked in soup goes directly into the stomach without chewing it carefully, which will inevitably increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and make it difficult for the nutrients in the food to be completely absorbed. Over time, it can easily cause stomach problems. Therefore, we should change the habit of eating rice soaked in soup and rice soaked in water.

Since eating rice with soup is not good for health, is eating porridge also harmful to the gastrointestinal tract? In fact, the texture of porridge is fine. After being boiled, the starch has been decomposed into dextrin that is easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and will not affect the digestive function.

Eating soaked rice is especially harmful to children who are in the growth and development period. The reason is very simple: long-term consumption of soaked rice will not only hinder the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract, but also reduce the chewing function and cause the masticatory muscles to atrophy, which will seriously affect the face shape of adults. At the same time, eating soaked rice can easily cause children to develop the bad eating habit of swallowing dates wholeheartedly.

In addition, people suffering from gout and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are best not to soak rice in broth. Because broth contains purine and is a high-salt, high-fat food, it is not good for the condition.
