Since ancient times, Chinese have had the concept of "health preservation", and "soup", as an important carrier of health preservation, has been loved by people.
However, in recent years, a misconception that "soup is more nutritious than meat" has spread widely in society, leading many people to mistakenly believe that drinking soup can get enough nutrients.
So, is soup really more nutritious than meat?Let's have a ** after all.
First of all, let's be clear: the nutritional value of soup is not as high as it seems.
From a nutritional point of view, the nutrients in the soup mainly include water, protein, minerals, and vitamins, among others.
Although the protein will dissolve in the process of boiling fish broth, bone broth, and broth, it will also dissolve fat and purines.
Therefore, if you only drink soup and do not eat meat, you are throwing away more than 90% of the protein.
Secondly, drinking too much soup may also have adverse health effects.
Drinking a large amount of broth for a long time can easily lead to excessive purine intake, which can lead to gout, kidney stones and other diseases. In addition, the fat content in the broth is also high, and excessive intake can increase the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and high blood pressure.
In addition, meat is the main source of high-quality protein for the human body.
Protein is an important substance for human growth and development, repairing damage, and maintaining life activities, especially for special groups such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly. The amino acid composition in meat is relatively complete, which is easier for the human body to digest and absorb. In contrast, the protein content of vegetables, fruits and other foods is low, and the amino acid composition is not complete, which cannot completely replace the role of meat.
Of course, this does not mean that the soup is not valuable.
Drinking soup in moderation can provide the body with water, minerals, and some vitamins, which help maintain the normal physiological functions of the body.
Moreover, the process of simmering the soup can make the nutrients in the ingredients better dissolve into the soup, so that the soup has a certain tonic effect. However, we can't ignore the limitations and potential risks of soup just because of its advantages.
So, how to properly view the relationship between soup and meat?
We should abandon the erroneous concept that "soup is more nutritious than meat" and adhere to the principle of "meat and vegetable matching, balanced nutrition".
In the daily diet, it is necessary to ensure the intake of meat, but also to drink some nutritious soups appropriately. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the cooking method of food, and try to choose low-fat and low-salt cooking methods such as steaming and stewing to reduce the intake of fat and purines.
In short, soup and meat are an indispensable part of our daily diet.
We should correctly understand their respective nutritional values and characteristics, and eat them rationally in order to truly achieve the purpose of health care.
Let's say goodbye to the misconception that "soup is more nutritious than meat" and move towards a healthy life!
