Chicken soup is a great nourishing food that is healthy, nutritious, and delicious. Many families consider chicken soup a premium nourishing food and often cook a pot for family members who are ill. However, chicken soup is not suitable for everyone. Let's find out more...
Patients with chronic superficial gastritis:
Because these patients already have high levels of stomach acid and poor digestive function, drinking more chicken soup will promote gastric acid secretion, which not only hinders digestion but also increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion.
Those who frequently suffer from cholecystitis and cholelithiasis (gallstones):
The digestion of fat in chicken soup requires bile. Drinking chicken soup stimulates the gallbladder to contract, which can easily trigger an episode of cholecystitis.
Patients with hyperlipidemia and fatty liver:
After the fat in chicken soup is absorbed, it can further increase blood lipids and blood cholesterol, leading to fat accumulation in the liver. It can also deposit on the inner walls of blood vessels and cause conditions such as coronary atherosclerosis.
Patients with hyperuricemia:
It is not advisable to drink chicken soup because it is rich in purines and fat, which can induce a gout attack.
Patients with impaired kidney function:
Chicken soup contains certain 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 due to their impaired kidney function. Drinking too much chicken soup can trigger high nitrogenemia and worsen the progression of the disease.
