Now in the autumn and winter, hot soup has also begun to be put on the table, cold currents hit, drink a bowl of hot soup when eating, so that the spleen and stomach are very comfortable, so hot soup has always been a symbol of health and health, especially the soup that is boiled for a long time, it seems that the more nutrition, Guangdong's "old fire soup", is made of long-term slow cooking.
But in fact, "old soup" is not as healthy as everyone thinks. "Old Fire Soup" usually includes Ejiao Red Jujube Black Chicken Soup, Yam Poria Pigeon Soup, Yuzhu Lily Quail Soup, Huangjing Goji Berry Oxtail Soup, Half Lotus Stewed Fish Tail, Three Snake Soup, Winter Melon Lotus Leaf Stewed Water Duck and so on.
Most of them use animal protein-rich ingredients, plus plant raw materials and spices that are used for food and medicine, so that the soup can be thick and fragrant, but the problem lies in these animal ingredients.
Let the soup appear thick white, not the nutrition in the ingredients, but the fat in the meat, the more concentrated white, the more fat, the protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients in the ingredients are difficult to dissolve into the soup, most of them are still in the ingredients, but like salt and other substances that are threatening to health are dissolved in the soup in large quantities, drinking such soups for a long time is not only not a light diet, but also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, the purines in the cells are very easy to dissolve in the soup, so the soup containing animal foods has a high purine content, for middle-aged and elderly men, the soup of high purine will aggravate the increase in uric acid, resulting in gout.
In 2017, the white paper on the current situation of gout in China showed that the number of gout patients in Guangdong Province ranked first in the country and second to none in East Asia, which is inseparable from the guangdong people's love of soup.
The epidemiological survey in Guangdong found that the current incidence of gout is 3%, the uric acid exceeds the standard of more than 10%, and there is one gout patient in an average of 100 people, and by 2020, the number of gout in Guangdong Province is close to 2 million.
Although the longer the soup is boiled, the softer the ingredients are, and it is more suitable for the elderly or patients with weak digestion ability, but it is best to make vegetable soup, so that there will be no problem of too high purines and too much fat.
However, Cantonese people drink soup, generally before meals, this is more worth learning, because "a mouthful of soup before meals, the stomach is not injured", drinking soup before meals can mobilize the digestive system to move up, so that the digestive system is ready to digest food, digestive organs begin to peristalsis, better digestion after ingestion of food, so as to reduce some digestive tract diseases.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone drink some vegetable soup before meals, do not drink bone broth every day, and pay attention to low oil and less salt, and adopt a healthy way of eating.
