Aunt Chen is 49 years old this year, usually after work like to go into the kitchen to make some soup to drink, recently learned an old fire soup recipe from a colleague, after work can't help but immediately make it, thinking about the family just to add food, just cook more.
Smelling the pungent aroma, she couldn't help but drink two more bowls, and her body instantly warmed up, but she didn't expect to feel a little dizzy after drinking, and as soon as she stood up, the whole person fell straight to the ground.
Although the family found it and sent it to the hospital in time, because the patient's cerebral hemorrhage progressed too quickly, the first aid was ineffective, and he was pronounced dead by the doctor in the early morning. The family couldn't accept it, and the person was fine before eating, why did he suddenly pass away?
1. Is the old fire soup suitable for everyone?
Afterwards, after being questioned by the doctor, I learned that Aunt Chen herself had a history of hypertension and had regular medication to control it, but after the condition was stabilized, she slacked off, did not take blood pressure medication regularly, and usually liked to drink Lao Huo Liang soup.
On the day of the incident, she cooked rice and soup as usual, and suddenly fell ill after drinking two bowls of soup.
Seeing this, the doctor couldn't help but sigh with tears: If you have high blood pressure, it is best to drink less old fire soup, blood pressure is not well controlled, and the risk of cerebral hemorrhage is already high!
The doctor explained that Laohuo broth usually has a high purine content, and the human body takes too much and has insufficient metabolism, which is easily converted into a large amount of uric acid, which is easy to cause serious symptoms such as gout in the long run.
Especially for the elderly who have high blood pressure, a sudden spike in fat, calories and cholesterol will endanger cardiovascular health, cause atherosclerosis and atheroplaque, and increase the risk of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular and other diseases.
And there are many elderly people who think that the soup pot should be stewed for more time, but in fact, if heated at a high temperature for a long time, the protein and vitamins in the ingredients will also be destroyed, and the nutritional value will be lost.
Some people also like to put some tonic herbs such as ginseng in the soup, but after high temperature decomposition, the so-called tonic value is not worth mentioning.
Second, these two soups must be drunk less, nourishing will not hurt the body!
Southerners like to make soup and think that drinking soup can nourish the body, however, many people don't know that not all soups are suitable for drinking, and some soups can hurt their bodies if they drink too much.
1. Overnight soup: the health risks behind frugality
In fact, as long as vegetables are left overnight, the nutritional value has been greatly lost, eating more is not beneficial, and nitrite will be produced, a toxic substance, long-term ingestion may cause food poisoning, in addition to a certain risk of cancer, the same is true for overnight vegetable soup.
In addition, it is best not to eat fish soup and seafood soup overnight, because seafood will produce a protein degrader after overnight, and long-term intake will damage liver and kidney function.
2. Too hot soup: the invisible killer of esophageal health
According to the certification of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, hot drinks above 65°CC have a certain risk of causing cancer, because the esophageal mucosa is more sensitive to temperature, and too hot food will be affected by burns, and long-term damage is prone to inflammation, ulcers and other lesions, and may even increase the risk of cancer, so it is best to drink less soup that is too hot.
3. Precautions when making soup, keep in mind 4 details
I believe that many people feel that the nutrients are boiled out of the soup when they drink the soup, and they are used to drinking only the soup with the ingredients, but in fact, many of the soluble proteins, a variety of amino acids, and trace elements released in the soup only account for a small part, most of which are fat, purines, sodium and other substances, and most of the remaining protein is still left in the meat.
1. Animal food should be cooked under cold water
If you are making broth, it is best to pot the ingredients under cold water, so that when simmering, the protein-protein and low-molecular nitrogen umami in the meat are easier to release and increase the umami of the soup.
2. The stewing time is determined according to the ingredients
Generally speaking, if it is an easy-to-cook ingredient, such as vegetables and seafood, the boiling time can be controlled within half an hour, if it is a meat ingredient, it can be controlled within 1.5 hours, and if it is a bone ingredient, it is best not to exceed 2 hours, which is the most nutritious.
3. Don't drink soup that has a strong taste
Soup, especially broth, itself has a high fat content, you can put as little oil as possible, it is best to go to the surface of the oil slick before drinking, reduce the intake of oil, and seasonings like salt can be put less, especially the elderly like heavy taste, pay more attention to the amount of salt.
4. The elderly should eat less soup and rice
Many people like to eat soup and rice together, although the taste is richer, but this way of eating is very bad for digestion, and it may also cause indigestion, stomach discomfort and other symptoms after a long time.
Therefore, drinking the soup correctly and matching it properly will be more beneficial to our health. In addition, you can choose to drink some soup before meals to stimulate gastric acid secretion, which can help the stomach and intestines better digest and absorb food, and it is also a small detail that cannot be ignored in a healthy diet.
