Was I fooled by adults again when I was young? However, later I went to consult a doctor in the Department of Gastroenterology, and he explained the difference between soup and porridge.
Porridge: Put the washed rice into a pot, add water to boil the rice grains, and turn them into sticky food.
Soak rice: pour boiling water directly into cooked rice and stir to serve.
From the point of view of digestion, the rice of the former will become softer, which is easier to digest and chew for young children with immature intestines and stomach. On the other hand, the latter may harden because the rice is not fully expanded, which will increase the burden on the child's stomach. In addition, after rice is soaked in soup for a period of time, starch may age, making rice more difficult to digest.
To sum up, soup with rice is really not suitable for children with immature gastrointestinal development.
Is the soup for soaking rice nutritious?
Some netizens said that the key to the nutrition of soup and rice lies in soup!
In fact, many experiments show that after cooking fish, chicken, beef and other foods with high protein content for 6 hours, the soup looks very thick, but the dissolution rate of protein is only 6%- 15%, and more than 85% of protein remains in the "slag".

In other words, no matter how long your soup is cooked, most of the nutrients are still in the meat, and there is not much nutrition in the soup.
Therefore, if you just use soup to soak rice without adding other ingredients, the nutritional value is not high. Then, in addition to the above-mentioned effects on gastrointestinal digestion, what are the hazards?
▌ Other hazards of soup and rice.
Chewing slowly is a kind of diet advocated since ancient times. It can not only improve the absorption rate of food, but also protect our gums and reduce wear.
1. It is easy to be malnourished.
Xiaoxiao doesn't like eating very much at ordinary times. Xiaoxiao's mother occasionally lets her children eat soup and rice in order to make them eat more. Xiaoxiao's mother soaked rice in sparerib soup, thinking that the children could eat more, but in the end it turned into soup.
If a child like Xiaoxiao often drinks soup and soaks rice, and only drinks broth instead of eating, it will easily lead to unbalanced nutrition.
2. Loss of appetite
Koreans have a habit when eating, that is, if it is very delicious food, they will make a mouth sound. In addition to expressing praise, it also has the effect of increasing appetite!
There is basically no need to chew when swallowing soaked rice, resulting in less secretion of digestive juice. When these large food particles enter the digestive tract, they need more digestive juice and get more energy to digest. Over time, the appetite gradually subsided.
3. Simple "false satiety"
Soaking rice in soup is easy to give people a feeling of fullness, but in fact, the actual amount of food is not much. Therefore, in the child's growth and development stage, if you always drink soup and soak in rice, it may cause developmental retardation and malnutrition.
Sun Simiao, a medical sage, once said,' Good food must be chewed, but raw food should not be swallowed. Reducing the burden on the stomach is actually very simple. You only need to chew food repeatedly in your mouth, then you can reduce the work content of your stomach. The thinner the teeth, the more saliva is secreted in the mouth. Only after careful chewing can food be digested effectively, and there will be no food accumulation.
