The road to health esophagitis gastritis

As the saying goes, "soup before meals is better than good medicine", which is scientifically justified. This is because, from the mouth, throat, esophagus to the stomach, it is like a passage, which is the only way for food. Drinking a few mouthfuls of soup before eating is equivalent to adding some "lubricants" to this digestive tract, so that the food can be swallowed smoothly, which can effectively prevent the stimulation of dry and hard food on the digestive tract mucosa. Eating some soup is also beneficial, because it helps to dilute and stir food and is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract. If you don't drink soup before meals, you will feel thirsty after meals because of excessive secretion of gastric juice. Drinking water at this time will dilute gastric juice and affect the absorption and digestion of food. Therefore, nutritionists believe that developing the habit of drinking soup before and during meals can reduce the occurrence of esophagitis and gastritis. Those who regularly drink all kinds of soup, milk and soybean milk are also most likely to keep the digestive tract healthy. Drinking soup before meals is good for health, not to say that the more you drink, the better. Generally speaking, it is advisable to drink half a bowl of soup before lunch and dinner, and drink more before breakfast. This is because after a night's sleep, the human body loses more water and needs to be replenished. Researcher Ge, chairman of the China Nutrition Society, believes that drinking soup before and after meals is a matter of personal eating habits, and there is no conclusion in nutrition. So the key to drinking soup is what soup to drink and how much soup to drink. If you drink a small amount of delicious soup rich in protein before meals, you can give the gastrointestinal tract a stimulus and make it ready to accept food; If you drink a big bowl of soy sauce soup, it will not only dilute the gastric juice, but also consume too much sodium salt, which is not good for your health.
