The order of eating hot pot is very important. It's best to drink a small glass of fresh juice before you start, then eat vegetables, and then meat. This way, you can make rational use of the nutrients in the food, reduce the burden on your digestive system, and achieve the goal of healthy eating. The following are some beverage options you can choose when eating hot pot:
Vegetable juices, dairy products, and plant-based protein drinks:
Such as yogurt, almond milk, coconut milk, and herbal tea, suitable for people with chronic illnesses and the elderly.
Alcoholic beverages:
When eating hot pot, it's best to drink some white wine or wine, which can have a bactericidal and deodorizing effect. It is most suitable when eating hot pot with lamb.
Carbonated drinks:
Although they contain few other nutrients besides sugar, the carbon dioxide can aid digestion and help expel heat from the body, creating a cool and refreshing feeling. They are also effective for replenishing fluids.
Fruit juice drinks:
They are rich in organic acids, which can stimulate gastrointestinal secretion and aid digestion. They can also make the upper part of the small intestine acidic, which helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. However, people who are controlling their weight, the elderly, and those with high blood sugar should be careful to choose low-sugar drinks.
