Elderly people eat "soup" to open the way

　　Drinking "Kailu Soup" before eating has three major benefits.

　　First, eating food directly when the stomach is empty will cause greater irritation to the stomach, and it is easy to occur in the long run. Stomach disease Or dyspepsia. Drinking some soup before meals is like preparing the stomach, which can activate the entire digestive organs in advance, causing the digestive glands to secrete enough digestive juice to digest food, which is also more conducive to the full absorption and utilization of nutrients in the food.

　　The second is elderly Due to the reduced saliva secretion function, if you don't drink soup to moisten your mouth before meals, it will easily lead to thirst after meals and drink a lot of water, which will dilute the digestive juice in the stomach, which is not conducive to the normal work of the digestive tract and the absorption of nutrients after meals.

　　The third reason is that food must pass from the mouth, throat, esophagus to the stomach, which is like a transmission channel. Drinking a few mouthfuls of soup before eating is equivalent to adding lubricant to this channel, which can make the food swallow smoothly without excessive stimulation and friction on the fragile esophagus.

　　“"Kailu Soup" also needs to be somewhat particular about how to make and drink it. In order to quickly lubricate the esophagus and stimulate the digestive tract to start working, "Kailu soup" should not be too thick or too thin. Medium to thin is best, and the taste should be slightly bland. It is not suitable to choose soups with strong sour or spicy flavors. It’s better to keep it simple and don’t need to be particular about it, such as drinking some egg Cucumber soup, seaweed soup, winter melon soup, tofu soup, spinach soup, etc. “"Kailu Soup" should not be too hot. It is best to ensure that it does not feel hot when you drink it, but it has a certain temperature, so that it has the best effect of lubrication and stimulating digestion.

　　In addition, the elderly should not drink too much "Kailu Soup" at one time. It can moisten the intestines like drinking tea. Generally, half a bowl of medium-sized rice bowl is enough. You can drink more for breakfast, because after a night of sleep, the human body loses more water and needs to be replenished.
