【Inappropriate for Consumption】
1. Excessive gastric acid: Chicken soup stimulates gastric acid secretion. Therefore, patients with gastric ulcers, excessive gastric acid, or gastric bleeding should generally avoid drinking chicken soup.
2. Gallbladder diseases: Patients with cholecystitis and cholelithiasis often have recurrent attacks and should not drink too much chicken soup. The digestion of fat in chicken soup requires bile, and drinking chicken soup can stimulate gallbladder contraction, which may cause an attack of cholecystitis.
3. Hypertension: Drinking chicken soup can not only cause arteriosclerosis but also cause continuous increase in blood pressure, making it difficult to lower.
4. Hyperlipidemia: After absorbing the fat in chicken soup, it will further increase cholesterol. High cholesterol levels can lead to diseases such as deposition in the intima of blood vessels and coronary artery atherosclerosis.
5. Renal insufficiency: Chicken soup contains some small molecular proteins. Patients with acute nephritis, acute and chronic renal insufficiency, or uremia cannot timely process protein breakdown products. Drinking too much chicken soup can cause azotemia and worsen the condition.
In addition, chicken soup has a warming effect, so it is not suitable for those with inflammation, as it may hinder the recovery of inflammation.
