Chicken soup is a common nourishing food in daily life. Many people who have just recovered from a serious illness are accustomed to using chicken soup for nourishment. However, chicken soup is often high in oil, calories, and fat. Many people are unaware that there are 5 types of people who should not drink chicken soup. Today, let me take you through the contraindications of drinking chicken soup.
1. Patients with gastric ulcers
Because chicken soup can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, it can aggravate ulcers and worsen gastroesophageal reflux in these three types of patients. However, for people with poor digestion and gastric function, drinking chicken soup in moderation can aid digestion and appetite.
2. Patients with gallstones
Due to the high content of oil and fat in chicken soup, bile is required for digestion in the intestines. For people with biliary diseases, excessive intake of oil and fat can stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder, leading to the discharge of bile into the intestines. This can easily trigger cholecystitis and increase the risk of gallstones.
3. People with high blood lipids
Similarly, the fat in chicken soup can cause obesity, increase blood lipids, and easily lead to plaque and blood clots in the blood vessels. Therefore, although people with high blood lipids often feel weak, they should not blindly drink chicken soup. The best method is to remove the upper layer of fat and consume the meat without skin. This can achieve the goal of supplementing protein while avoiding excessive intake of fat.
4. Patients with gout
We know that gout patients are most afraid of consuming foods with high purine content, such as seafood and fatty meat. After several hours of slow simmering, chicken soup contains a large amount of purine, which is very detrimental to gout patients.
5. Patients with renal insufficiency
For people with poor kidney function, a low-protein diet is necessary. However, drinking chicken soup inevitably involves consuming chicken meat, which is a high-protein food and is not suitable for people with renal insufficiency. In addition, chicken soup has a very high fat content, which also needs to be controlled in people with renal insufficiency.
For people with good physical fitness, in addition to drinking chicken soup for nourishment during autumn and winter, it is also necessary to exercise more, go outdoors, get close to nature, and achieve a balance between intake and output.
