Drinking soup is a good way for people to nourish and warm up, but have you ever thought that eating soup incorrectly will also become a burden to your health now that you eat too much fish and meat?
First of all, soup, especially in restaurants, can easily contain excessive salt, which will not only increase the risk of hypertension, but also easily lead to obesity. Secondly, when the soup dissolves amino acids and soluble vitamins in the ingredients, it also dissolves fat, cholesterol and purine. Especially purine, health education expert Ning Li said that many people think that fish, meat, internal organs and other ingredients have high purine content, so they don't eat meat and only drink soup. But they don't know that purine is actually dissolved in the soup. In particular, the "old fire soup" boiled for a long time has a higher purine content. If you drink such soup in large quantities for a long time, it will easily lead to high uric acid and even gout.
In order to avoid eating too much salt when drinking soup, experts suggest making some soups with no or less salt by hand. When eating out, you can't master the salinity of the soup, so you'd better drink less soup. The soup stewed for a long time is very high in purine and fat, so patients with "three highs" should drink as little as possible. If green vegetables are added to the stew, the nutrients in the vegetables will be lost if cooked for too long, and the contents of potassium and oxalate in the soup will increase, which will increase the risk of kidney calculi for patients with chronic kidney disease.
So what kind of soup is healthy? Two experts reminded that, first, it should be light and less salt. Second, the cooking time should not be too long. The best vegetable soup is to soften the ingredients slightly, and the meat soup should be boiled for about 1 hour, and the longest time should not exceed 2 hours. Third, before boiling the broth, blanch the meat with boiling water, which can effectively reduce the purine content.
