Drinking chicken soup has an effect on these people.

Although the chicken soup has been simmered for a long time, it only contains water-soluble small-molecule substances dissolved from the chicken oil, skin, meat, and bones. Besides that, it's just oil and calories, and it also contains a high amount of purines. Objectively speaking, it is not nutritious.

Director Yu pointed out that drinking more chicken soup is essentially a process of consuming more animal fat. For some patients with cardiovascular diseases and gout, drinking large amounts of chicken soup is very harmful to the body.

Besides patients with cardiovascular diseases and gout, drinking chicken soup can also affect the following groups of people.

Chicken is the truly nutritious treasure. At this point, the chicken has been stewed until very tender, making it easy to digest and beneficial for nutrient absorption. Director Yu suggests that for better nutrition, one should focus on eating the chicken in the soup and only drink some of the soup as a seasoning. This is the scientific and effective way to nourish the body.

Besides patients with cardiovascular diseases and gout, drinking chicken soup can also affect the following groups of people.

1. Excess stomach acid: Chicken soup stimulates the secretion of stomach acid. Therefore, patients with gastric ulcers, excess stomach acid, or stomach bleeding generally should not drink chicken soup.

2. Biliary tract diseases: Those who frequently suffer from cholecystitis and cholelithiasis should not drink too much chicken soup. This is because the digestion of fat in chicken soup requires the participation of bile, and drinking it will stimulate the gallbladder to contract, which can easily trigger an episode of cholecystitis.

3. Renal insufficiency: Chicken soup contains some small-molecule proteins. Patients with acute nephritis, acute or chronic renal insufficiency, or uremia cannot process the byproducts of protein decomposition in a timely manner. Drinking too much chicken soup can lead to azotemia and worsen their condition.
