Some habits such as cooking for too long, drinking while it’s still hot… can make the soup counterproductive and harmful to your health.
In the meals of many Asian families, soup is an indispensable part.
However, to ensure your health, you must be careful to use soup properly and avoid the following mistakes:
1. Cooking soup too long
Many people think that the longer you cook the soup, the more delicious and nutritious it will be.
According toHealth care timewith vegetable soup, waiting for the vegetables to soften is enough.
Dishes containing a lot of spices, oil and salt are not good for the body.
2. Use a lot of salt and grease
A bowl of soup that is too salty can be harmful to your health, especially blood pressure and heart disease.
A large-scale review of 600,000 people also noted that for every 1g increase in sodium (the main ingredient in salt) per day, the risk of heart disease is up to 6% higher.
Many people like to stew bones to make soup because they think they will absorb a lot of calcium.
1 kg of bones only provides about 15mg of calcium in broth – this number is insignificant compared to daily needs (adults need about 800mg of calcium).
Instead, the majority of nutrients in bone marrow are fats, which if consumed in large quantities can easily lead to weight gain.
3. Only likes to drink water, rarely eat meat or fish
Many people think that broth contains full nutritional value but in reality it is not so.
When cooked, only a small amount of protein dissolves in the broth, along with fats, purines and salt.
4. Drink soap that is too hot
The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that drinking broth and soup at too high a temperature (more than 65 degrees Celsius) increases the risk of esophageal cancer.
Additionally, some people drink soup before meals to lose weight in hopes of feeling full faster.
However, the stomach needs about 20 minutes to send adequate signals to the brain, so drinking soup before a meal without waiting enough time can easily cause you to eat more than necessary.
Although soup is a familiar and nutritious dish, you need to use it properly and in balance to protect your health.
