What effect does drinking mutton offal soup always have on human health?
Mutton offal soup makes people love and fear. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of mutton offal soup to human body.
1. Good aspects
The main raw materials of mutton offal soup are various internal organs of sheep, such as liver, abdomen, heart, lungs and intestines. Most of the internal organs here are rich in vitamins A and B, iron, zinc, selenium and other minerals, and the content is higher than that of mutton we often eat, which can be said to be a "treasure house of nutrition".
Animal viscera is a beneficial supplement of nutrients needed by human body, among which vitamin A is beneficial to prevent night blindness and dry eye. The liver, heart, blood and other crimson foods in mutton soup are rich in iron, which is also helpful to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia.
Some animal viscera are also rich in high-quality protein and fat. Drinking a bowl of delicious mutton soup in cold winter can not only satisfy the taste buds, but also resist the cold and provide some energy for the body.
2. The bad side
The purine content in animal viscera is very high, which belongs to high purine food. Uric acid is produced when purine is metabolized. If the concentration of uric acid is too high, it will crystallize and cause gout. Fat sheep soup not only contains sheep viscera, but also purine will dissolve into the soup after cooking, so patients with hyperuricemia or gout should avoid eating such foods.
The visceral cholesterol content of some animals is higher than that of meat, especially liver, which is about three times that of lean meat. However, the upper limit of dietary cholesterol has been removed from the reference intake of dietary nutrients in the new version, but for some people with high cholesterol or other chronic diseases, it should be noted that it cannot be unlimited.
Some people are afraid to eat mutton soup because they are afraid of toxins in their internal organs. The liver is a detoxification organ, and the kidney is also a detoxification organ. But if the sheep itself is healthy, there is no overdose or feeding with toxic and harmful substances, then there is no need to worry too much.
In short, you can drink mutton offal soup occasionally if you like, but it is not recommended to drink it often. The Dietary Guidelines for China Residents suggests that adults can eat animal offal 2-3 times a month, each time about 25g. If you ate a little more mutton offal soup that day, eat less meat. If you don't like it, don't worry, the nutrients in animal viscera can also be obtained from other foods.
