So, how do pregnant women drink soup?

① Choose the right time to drink soup.

As the saying goes? Drinking soup before meals is slim and healthy; After eating soup, the more you drink, the fatter you get. This is based on science. Studies show that drinking a bowl of soup before eating can make people absorb less heat energy of 100- 190 kcal; Eating soup after a meal can easily lead to overnutrition, obesity and food digestion and absorption.

(2) eat soup residue together.

Although the nutritional value of soup is very high, most of the nutrients are still trapped in the soup residue, so mothers try to eat the soup residue when they drink the soup, and the intake of dietary fiber can be increased in the process of eating the soup residue, which is conducive to promoting gastrointestinal motility and accelerating metabolism.

③ Eat the vegetables in the soup in time.

Sometimes I like to put some carrots, white radishes, potatoes and other vegetables in soup. These vegetables should be eaten on the same day, otherwise it will destroy the nutrients in vegetables for a long time.

(4) master the time of soup.

The vegetable soup that pregnant mothers drink only needs to be cooked a little. If it is a soup that is not easy to cook, such as bones, it is enough to cook 1- 1.5 hours, and it is not advisable to cook it for too long, otherwise it will contain a lot of saturated fat.

Summary: Don't underestimate the simple thing of drinking soup. In fact, only by drinking soup scientifically can we absorb nutrition and avoid fat accumulation!
