It is now winter, which is the season when everyone begins to enter the nourishing season, and it is also the season when people are most likely to gain weight. Therefore, some people are afraid of worrying about whether drinking soup in winter will easily gain weight and other worries.
This is a misunderstanding. Soup should be drunk not only in summer, but also in winter. Drinking soup in winter is not only conducive to digestion and absorption, but also good for health and fitness. Winter is the best time to nourish the body. Beautiful women can drink soup to beautify their skin and make their skin white and elastic. Men can drink soup to strengthen the body. Children can drink soup to increase nutrition and resistance. Old people can drink medicinal food to prolong their lives.
On the other hand, soup is both nutritious and the most digestible. The soup can be evenly dispersed in the small intestine, and nutrients can be easily digested and absorbed, so drinking soup has the potential risk of making people fat.
Only by drinking soup scientifically can you absorb nutrients and avoid fat accumulation. In this regard, what we need to pay attention to is:
There is a big difference between drinking before and after meals: the time for drinking soup is very particular. As the saying goes,"Drinking soup before meals will make you slim and healthy; drinking soup after meals will make you fatter." This is a certain truth. Take a few sips of soup before meals and lubricate your mouth and esophagus. This can prevent dry and hard food from stimulating the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, help dilute and stir food, and promote digestion and absorption. The most important thing is that drinking soup before meals can make the food in the stomach fully close to the stomach wall, enhance the feeling of satiety, thereby suppressing the feeding center and reducing people's appetite. On the contrary, drinking soup after a meal is a harmful way to eat. On the one hand, after eating rice is full, drinking soup can easily lead to overnourishment and cause obesity; in addition, the last soup you drink will dilute the chyme that has been well mixed with digestive juice, affecting the digestion and absorption of food.

[Jing Chu's Warm Tip]: Although goji berries have excellent nourishing and therapeutic properties, they are not suitable for everyone. Due to their strong effect of warming the body, those suffering from colds, fevers, inflammation, or diarrhea are best advised not to eat them. When making soup, it is not advisable to add salt too early, as salt has an osmotic effect that draws moisture out of the ingredients and coagulates the protein, resulting in a lack of umami. Fresh Chinese yam has a soft texture and easily dissolves if cooked for a long time, so it should not be added too early; wait until the other ingredients are almost done cooking before adding it. After adding the yam to the pot, handle it gently to avoid breaking it apart; if the yam is cut in advance, it is best to soak it in water to prevent oxidation and discoloration. Chinese yam has an astringent effect, so those with constipation should avoid eating it. Depending on personal preference, you can sprinkle some chopped green onions on top before serving.
