What is Liquid Nutrition?

In the Vedic tales of ancient India, the great sages rishis ate only liquid food. Liquid food is considered to be food that needs to be drunk and not chewed. This is the most subtle and high-frequency power.

The composition of liquid nutrition includes pure water, various dairy products (milk, natural yogurt, kefir, curdled milk, liquid sour cream, etc.), natural freshly squeezed juices, various vegetable and fruit cocktails, puree soups, honey, coconut milk, etc.

There are 2 types of liquid nutrition:

liquid-coarse (includes the pulp of fruits and vegetables)
liquid-thin (only juices).

Liquid nutrition is most suitable for people engaged in intellectual work that does not require physical exertion.

Liquid nutrition must be accompanied by yoga or qigong and breathing practices!

What are the pros and cons of liquid nutrition?

Benefits of liquid nutrition

Liquid nutrition reduces weight, gives a feeling of lightness, is easy to digest, improves memory and increases the level of intelligence, slows down all processes in the body (including the aging process).

Cons of liquid nutrition

During the first three days of a liquid diet, diarrhea may occur. Many people feel irritation, anger, hunger, a desire to chew something and severe weakness during this period. However, after three days, the body gets used to liquid food, and these negative manifestations disappear.

In two weeks, a person fully adapts and gets used to a liquid diet.

The transition to this type of nutrition should also be carried out gradually!
It is possible to completely switch to the use of liquid food only within 5-10 years.

Nevertheless, it is useful for each person to arrange periodic unloading “liquid days”. It significantly rejuvenates, gives lightness and cleanses the body well.

Also, when switching to a liquid diet, it is necessary to take into account the disadvantages inherent in vegetarianism¹ in general.

Liquid food recipes

Liquid nutrition includes, first of all, juices from vegetables and fruits.
They are very beneficial for the human body.

Natural juices contain a large number of essential macro- and microelements and vitamins.
Food based on juices is rich in fructose, enzymes, pectins, and contains structured water necessary for a person.
Vegetable and fruit juices cleanse blood vessels and blood from cholesterol and other harmful substances.

Drinking such drinks is useful not only for adherents of liquid food, but also for ordinary people, as they favorably affect the health of the whole organism. Especially favorably freshly squeezed juices act on the gastrointestinal tract.

If you decide to switch to vegetarian food and liquid food in particular, then it is recommended to start this process with juices.

They will give the necessary boost of energy and facilitate the transition to "new food".

Consider the most popular juices that can be prepared at home.

Attention!

The information below is not nutritional advice and does not replace the advice of a dietitian. The diet plan should be selected individually by the attending physician or nutritionist. There may be contraindications!

Red beet juice

Red beets have a large amount of iron, which is easily absorbed by our body. Therefore, this juice is very useful for people suffering from anemia. Moreover, beetroot juice increases the content of red blood cells in human blood, resulting in increased oxygen supply to tissues and organs. A large amount of sodium contained in this juice helps to remove deposits of calcium salts from the body. Beets also have the ability to naturally thin the blood and lower blood pressure.

But you should know that out of habit, even a glass of pure beetroot juice can provoke nausea, dizziness and vomiting, because after taking it, cleansing processes immediately start in the body, first of all, lymphoid tissue, gallbladder, kidneys and liver are cleaned.

This combination of juices is especially useful for women during menopause, as it helps to normalize hormonal levels.

By combining beet and carrot juices and coconut milk, you get a drink that is excellent in its regenerative properties.

The combination of juices from beets, carrots and cucumber perfectly heals the body, and if you add lemon juice dissolved in one glass of not boiling, but hot water to this mixture, you can naturally remove stones from the kidneys. To do this, you need to drink such a cocktail three to four times a day. If you have large kidney stones, then there may be significant pain during their removal, but it will not last more than an hour, during which time all the stones will be removed.

cabbage juice

Fresh cabbage juice can cure many diseases - duodenal ulcer, tumors of various etiologies, hemorrhoids, inflammation of the stomach and intestines. Cabbage juice also helps with diseases of the respiratory organs, helps to cleanse blood vessels of cholesterol plaques, and helps to normalize weight.

Often, when taking cabbage juice, people note the release of gases.

This indicates contamination of the body with toxins, which the cabbage juice dissolves and removes from the body. For the best effect in such cases, it is recommended to combine cabbage juice with carrot juice, cleansing enemas are also indicated.

Moreover, the juice of cabbage and carrots improves immunity, as it contains a large amount of vitamin C.

carrot juice

Carrot juice effectively cleanses and heals internal organs, removes toxic substances from the body, and dissolves tumors. It contains a large amount of vitamins A, B, C, D, E, carotene and iron.

Carrot juice restores the energy balance of the body, normalizes the work of the endocrine glands, restores the nervous system, improves immunity, relieves various inflammatory processes. Due to the high calcium content, carrot juice is recommended for pregnant and lactating women.

celery juice

Celery is very useful for the human body. It contains a large amount of sodium, which does not allow calcium salts to accumulate in the body.

Therefore, the juice from this plant is useful for people who do not adhere to a dietary diet, whose diet includes a large amount of meat, easily digestible high-calorie foods containing a large amount of sugar and various muffins.

Celery juice thins the blood and cleanses the lymphatic tissues, thus healing the entire body.

It is good to take such juice in extreme heat, as it normalizes body temperature. A mixture of carrot and celery juice can cure various diseases of the circulatory and nervous system.

Cucumber juice

This juice has excellent diuretic properties, due to which it relieves puffiness and helps to reduce pressure. A large amount of potassium in cucumber juice normalizes cardiac activity, improves the condition of hair, gums and teeth.

Cucumber juice has long been used for cosmetic purposes - brightening the skin, it eliminates unwanted pigmentation, helps regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Fresh tomato juice

Tomato juice contains oxalic acid, which contributes to the normalization of metabolism. A large number of elements such as potassium, calcium and sodium contained in tomatoes treat many cardiovascular diseases. However, it is juice from fresh tomatoes that has useful properties.

Boiled tomato juice has the opposite effect on the body!

potato juice

Raw potato juice is very good for all digestive organs. It normalizes acidity and relieves various inflammations of the digestive system. The starch contained in raw potatoes is good for treating burns and various skin diseases, including those of fungal origin.

A mixture of raw potato and carrot juices helps cleanse the body. Cucumber, carrot, celery and potato juices treat disorders of the digestive and nervous systems, stop bleeding, and reduce inflammation.

pumpkin juice

Pumpkin juice normalizes metabolism (therefore, it is indicated for people who are overweight and diabetic), treats diseases of the pancreas, relieves inflammation of the genitourinary system, and is used as a medicine in the presence of worms.

Pumpkin juice promotes nutrition and cleansing of the body and is very suitable for people who decide to switch to a liquid nutrition system. Pumpkin juice can be replaced with squash, as their properties are similar. It is very useful to combine pumpkin juice with other vegetable and fruit juices.

Other liquid food recipes

In addition to the above juices, people practicing liquid nutrition can consume:

clean water (both cold and hot),
olive oil,
warmed tomato juice, to which spices can be added,
fried onions and grated cheese,
grape and other juices,
various teas - black, green, herbal,

Notes and feature articles for a deeper understanding of the material

¹ Vegetarianism - eating plant foods with the rejection of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood and the meat of any other animal) (

To begin with, we will turn all solid food into liquid, food that does not need to be chewed.
Meat and fish in meat and fish broths.
Fruits and vegetables in their juices.
Cereals in boiled broths.
Milk and derivatives in the liquid state.
Raw egg.
Sunflower oil in liquid form.
Salt in broths.
Sugar in juices.
Herbs in decoctions and infusions.
Cocoa, tea and coffee are liquids.

Liquid eating is a very rare form of nutrition.
Let's analyze one example and determine what a person eats when eating boiled food.
If you put a vegetable in cold water and leave it for a while, the vegetable will absorb the cold water into itself. This is clearly seen on the example of peas and legumes. But as soon as you put it on fire, the reverse process occurs. The vegetable will begin to give all its juices to hot water. Having boiled completely in the body of the vegetable, nothing remains but the boiled mass. The body of the vegetable becomes empty and useless.
The cook, making mashed potatoes, pours the broth into the sink, and makes a potato side dish from the empty potato body. Everything that the cook puts in water and boils is boiled and the substances are given to the water and the water turns into broth. In this case, the broth becomes a valuable drink, and everything that is boiled can be safely given to animals or birds.
Each person eats liquid food, but he does not think about the details of the intake of liquid, does not attach importance to this process. A person does not eat liquid, but drinks in large quantities with glasses, mugs, glasses, as a result, every day drinking a large amount of different liquids, creating excessive pressure on the kidneys, liver, heart, and this is again stress, nervousness, illness.
As usual, a person drinks water, but he drinks all liquids derived from water, because they are liquids that do not need to be chewed.
Traditionally, people are accustomed to eating and drinking in quantitative terms. By and large, people are engaged in gluttony, which has become a bad habit and an addiction to the stomach.
Gluttony is considered one of the seven deadly sins. Eating large amounts of food has become a habit and has shaped the lifestyle and diet.
Why liquid should be eaten and not drunk?
Why should liquid be chewed?
If you simply drink a liquid in a small amount, then neither enjoyment nor satiety with taste will work. You have to drink a large amount of liquid in order to get temporary saturation and pleasure.
Pleasure, saturation, glut, satiation occurs only in the mouth. In the stomach, only the process of digestion of food takes place. Filling the stomach with a lot of liquid and solid food is just filling, which makes it difficult for the stomach and the entire gastrointestinal tract. There is slagging of the walls of the intestines. The stomach cannot physically cope with a large amount of food and the food begins to rot and produce decay products, i.e. toxins that poison the entire body.
What happens in a person's mouth?
Two very important processes take place in the mouth, this is pleasure and satiety with what has got into the mouth. Speaking of liquid food, I must say that it must also be chewed, because without the chewing process, you will have to drink a lot of liquid and put a lot of stress on the kidneys, liver and heart.
The quality of liquid food is collected in one SIP. The amount of liquid food consists of the number of sips or the container in which the liquid is poured. For example:
200 gr. orange juice.
How does all this happen?
I take a sip of juice into my mouth and keep it in my mouth without swallowing or mixing with saliva. I connect the taste buds of the tongue here and feel the taste of juice, enjoy the taste. As soon as I start to get tired of enjoying the taste, I start chewing this juice, mixing it with saliva and chewing until the sensation of taste disappears. The juice should completely mix with saliva and lose its taste.
Loss of taste sensation is called satiety.
At this moment, you can swallow this tasteless juice liquid mixture. While I'm chewing in my mouth, the following happens:
If it was cold juice, it warms up to +36.6 degrees, if hot, then it cools down to +36.6 degrees.
If you immediately drink 200 gr. cold juice, then the stomach will first have to spend energy on warming it up, and this is an unnecessary waste of energy, so all this must be done in the mouth.
Gradually, a person needs to move away from quantitative food intake and move on to quality. This is very important in old age, when an old person, eating a large amount of food, spends a large amount of energy on digestion, which in old age is barely enough for movement.
What is quality food?
You need to know that you can enjoy and be fed up with a small intake of food.
For example:
One sip contains all the substances that are in 1 liter of juice. It is not necessary to drink the entire liter jar at once. It is not necessary to load your stomach completely, so that even breathing becomes difficult. One meaningful and conscious sip, exactly, chewed completely will become like a glass of juice. This will not happen right away, it takes practice and a strong desire to be clean, healthy and young.
What is the practical significance of a swallow of chewed liquid?

A SIP OF JUICE.

You take an ordinary sip of juice into your mouth, only one sip, but do not swallow it, but begin to chew it carefully, consciously mixing it with saliva. Along with a sip of juice, you take a breath of air and hold your breath while chewing the juice. In the oral cavity you will have three components - juice, air and saliva. While holding your breath, you chew the juice, mixing it with saliva and air. After making 25-30 chewing movements, you will feel that there is more liquid in your mouth. This is due to the accumulation of saliva. Then you swallow part of the liquid, and start chewing the rest again with a new breath of air while holding your breath. Again the fluid in your mouth will increase and you swallow some of it again. That. one sip of juice can be turned into 10, 20 sips of oxygenated and saliva-enriched liquid. A person can eat with one sip of liquid food. The use of liquid food, this is what can be called self-cleansing in a natural way from the inside.
How does this happen?
The body is a self-cleansing system that, with the help of liquid, moisturizes all the slagged walls of the intestines and at the same time softens. The slag will fall off and be expelled from the body naturally. In this case, there will be no need to use enemas. An enema is not a very pleasant cleansing procedure, it must be admitted.
Although juices and broths are liquid food, but when drinking juice with pulp and fatty rich broths, there is work for the stomach. Liquid foods can also be made thinner, less oily, and the range of these foods can also be reduced. This is something to work on.
The stool from liquid food will be ordinary, but rarer and in a small amount, so to speak, lightened.
In general, the entire meal from chewing to sip should be conscious. Only conscious actions will have an effect.

A LITTLE ABOUT MILK.

Milk is undoubtedly a valuable and nutritious product, especially for a newly born baby. I was freed from milk just a full 4 months ago after another 10-day abstinence from solid food, from February 2, 2010. Before that, I tinted water for a whole year with milk 20% milk and 80% water. Believe me, I grew up on goat's milk. My parents kept several goats, but I didn't like goat's milk. I was drawn to cow's milk. I drank milk all the time with pleasure. Now, from the height of my experience and knowledge, I will say that milk should be eaten only at the age when the child was just born and can only suck on the mother's breast. After the child grows up and is removed from the breast, milk must be completely removed from the child's diet. The child switches to solid food, various cereals, milk mixtures and fermented milk products, excluding pure milk.
A small child should only eat the milk of his biological mother. The milk of another woman may not suit him.
Why am I talking about the exclusion of pure milk from the diet of an adult child?
Milk is the only product that forms mucus in the digestive system, which in turn envelops the esophagus, stomach and intestines. Mucus accumulates in large quantities and interferes with the absorption of essential substances through the walls of the intestines. Milk is a fatty product and the fatter the milk, the tastier it is. Simply put, a fatty mucous layer from the inside accumulates in the body, interfering with the normal functioning of the digestive system. Yogis came up with their own way of cleaning the esophagus from mucus. They swallow a special rope twisted from a bandage to the stomach, and so on. milky mucus sticks to the rope. The procedure is unusual and not at all pleasant. But yogis can do it. I spoke with a yogi who cleanses his esophagus in this way that it would not be easier to free himself from taking milk. Because he loves milk very much, then he drinks it and periodically cleanses himself in this way. Now I don't crave dairy products at all. Now my body is free from milk, or rather my mind is free from milk. This means that I am naturally cleared of mucus, without various yogic troubles. When I stopped eating dairy products, I found an argument against drinking milk. I fixed in my mind the image that milk is harmful and we need to get rid of it, which I eventually did.
Anyone who still drinks milk will find arguments that milk is healthy and will continue to use it. So in each food product, a person determines the benefits and harms. Everything is easy to justify and easy to blame.
I do not go into other benefits or harms of milk, but I have freed myself from eating milk.
This is my gradual transition from one way of eating to another, the gradual release of various fluids and the arrival of one water. This is exactly what happens to me. I am blissful that I am gradually freeing myself from the use of solid and liquid food, and this is my indicator of a conscious coming to sun-eating. I do what I do and I do it even gradually, but the work goes in this direction, as planned by the Highest Teachers, according to their earthly program for the realization of me as a spiritual entity. Time after time I get closer to the implementation of my program, which makes me absolutely happy. After all, I am on the right path of my spiritual realization. Victorian, keep it up!

In both solid and liquid diets, some liquid foods can be excluded from the diet. Remaining a liquid eater, you can free yourself from carbonated drinks, tea, coffee, cocoa, milk, meat and fish broths, i.e. and in a liquid diet, one can also gradually free oneself from heavy and thick broths, etc. You just need to be aware of these things. The force of habit will form new attitudes towards the intake of liquid food and food in general.
A person, guided by his taste preferences, and so uses a large amount of various liquids.
With time and self-awareness, liquid nutrition will be reduced to its maximum minimum and only one water, pure water, will remain.

Hello dear friend.

In the last article, I told you what consequences await people with Bechterew's disease when eating meat broths. Any broths, even chicken ones, do more harm than good for people weakened by the disease.

So the same applies to soups and borscht and liquid cereals. After all, borscht and soups, and sometimes porridge, are usually boiled in meat broths. And it turns out that all the harmful substances that have passed from the meat into the broth also successfully enter the person inside, through soups, borscht and cereals.

The same applies to soups and cereals cooked in milk. Milk itself is a controversial product, and is not very suitable for nutrition in case of illness, and when it is also boiled, in the preparation of milk soups and cereals, then the imaginary benefit of milk turns into concrete harm.

Most people buy milk from stores where it comes from dairies. There it is processed several times so that it has a presentation, and not useful properties. And, at home, after boiling in milk, there is practically nothing left that a person needs.

It turns out that by preparing liquid dishes based on meat broths and milk, we create harmful, not healthy nutrition. And such nutrition further complicates the course of the disease.

Much more energy is spent on the processing of unhealthy food, and this affects not only the digestive organs, but also other organs and systems. And how can a weakened body successfully fight diseases?

With this approach, the body spends energy on fighting unhealthy food, and not on the disease. Add here more potent drugs for the treatment of Bechterew's disease and negative thinking, which take away the last strength. And it turns out that Bechterew's disease can never be defeated in this way.

I also want to remind you that drinking liquids with meals significantly impairs digestion. And, soups and borscht contain just such a liquid. It helps to dilute the gastric juice, and the time for digestion of food increases, which creates a feeling of long-term satiety.

Also, any soups, borscht or other liquid dishes usually contain many ingredients to improve the taste. Such a variety of products, combined with liquid, simply misleads our body, which finds it difficult to switch from one product to another.

As a result, food stays in the stomach undigested for a long time and begins to rot. And, all this leads to further deterioration of digestion and weakening of the body. Which is accompanied by more frequent exacerbations of Bechterew's disease, and even leads to side diseases of other organs.

If you decide to change your diet, but cannot refuse liquid dishes, cook thick vegetable soups only on water. It is advisable to pre-soak cereals for soup and porridge in water for at least half a day. Then this water must be drained and the cereal washed under running water.

Avoid soups cooked in milk. Also, do not soak chicken and fish in milk and kefir. And, of course, do not do this with cereals when making porridge.

When cooking chicken or fish, after cooking, the chicken or fish broth must be discarded and not used for cooking other dishes. There are many harmful substances that pass from meat to broth.

It is clear that for fish soup lovers it will not be easy to give up their favorite dish. Only the knowledge that fish grown artificially and caught in dirty waters is not healthy will help you feel more relaxed about such broths.

In addition, many times frozen and thawed fish is no longer suitable for cooking fish soup, because in it, apart from harm, there is nothing useful left. Just as it does not give any benefit and the ear of a rooster. Take note of this, and don't hurt yourself.

Remember that any liquid meals are an additional, harmful burden on the digestive organs, which, in case of illness, already suffer due to the use of potent drugs.

Try, act, and you will find your own, which will help you get rid of diseases.

Soup can be called the head of our dinner table, since childhood we have become accustomed to the fact that in the daytime a meal should begin with it - a rich, fragrant liquid dish. Today, too, many of us cannot even imagine a day without hot soup, because from a very early age we were inspired that the “first” must be eaten without fail, otherwise we would not see either strength or health. However, the soup has opponents who believe that this is a harmful dish that can ruin our stomach. So is it good to eat soup every day, or such a habit can harm our health? Let's figure it out together.

Soup - rightfully the "first" dish

Soups are a whole group of liquid dishes, the main feature of which is that it consists of more than half of the liquid. There are probably millions of recipes for various soups. Many countries have their own soup, which has become a symbol of national cuisine. We have cabbage soup and borscht, the French have onion soup, the Japanese have miso soup, which is especially popular today, the list can be continued for a long time.

Each type of liquid hot dish has many variations; one can count several hundred recipes for one borscht. Moreover, for example, Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian borscht can be very different from each other, igniting disputes in interethnic families. After all, each spouse has “his own”, national, understanding of what this first course should be. For example, in the Russian version of borsch, there should be no fat, while in the Belarusian and Ukrainian this component is not the last in the recipe. And a Belarusian can ask a Russian why you put cabbage in borscht.

Another fact is also interesting - soup does not have to be a hot dish, there are many recipes for preparing a cold dish. Each of these soups has its own health benefits and harms, more vitamins will remain in a cold dish, but the hot version is considered to be more beneficial for the stomach. However, it already depends on the specific recipe.

The benefits of the first course

Soup is a great opportunity to enrich our diet with vegetables. It is worth approximately counting the number of assorted vegetables indicated in the recipe, as we are convinced - this is a truly magical elixir.

It is believed that in order to fulfill the daily norm for eating vegetables, you can “screw up” just a couple of plates of fragrant soup. Therefore, light vegetable soups are considered especially useful.

With soup, we are able to quickly satisfy our hunger, because in order to eat a liquid dish, it does not need to be chewed well. Moreover, the nutritious liquid of soup, especially hot soup, fills the stomach, dulling the feeling of hunger. If you want to eat something tasty, but not very healthy, eat a bowl of soup first. So in the stomach there will be less “place” for the very “tasty, but not the most healthy” dish.

This also implies the benefits of soup for weight loss - we eat up in smaller portions, given the low calorie content of a liquid dish with high nutritional value. Of course, if we are not talking about the notorious borscht with lard and donuts. There are even many diets based on various light, mostly vegetable soups. Such dishes not only saturate us, but also rid the body of toxins and toxins. Also, along with soups, fiber enters our body, which is necessary for weight loss and overall health.

The benefit of soup lies in its easy digestibility by the body. The soup contains many useful substances, it is well digested and it does not take much effort to eat it. Therefore, it is actively used during the period of colds, it helps the body exhausted by viruses to recover and get the necessary vitamins. However, the soup should be low-fat and light so that the body does not have to spend a lot of energy and energy on its digestion, which is necessary to resist infections. The dish warms the body well, which is especially valuable in the cold months.

Many soups have a good effect on metabolism and help to lose weight. Especially in this sense, pea soups are useful, despite the relatively high calorie content.

Is there any benefit in soups for children

The benefits of soups for children are sometimes questioned. This is partly surprising, because it is from childhood that we are taught that the first must be included in the diet. However, some modern scientists question the usefulness of the dish, arguing that along with useful substances, dangerous components can also enter the child's body. In order to get as little harmful substances as possible into the dish, the first water of the meat broth should be drained. After the meat has been cooked for several minutes, the water must be drained and filled with new water. And only then cook the soup itself.

But kids still need to eat soups, the majority agrees in this opinion. You just need to carefully monitor the quality of the added products, cook mainly vegetable first courses. If you use meat, then chicken or veal. You should not add bouillon cubes, a lot of seasonings, garlic to soups for children.

Soup has the same effect on a child's body as on an adult: it improves digestion, is easily digested, and helps to gain strength. And puree soups are recommended to be given to small children as the first complementary foods. By the way, the first dish with mashed vegetables, and an older child will eat with more pleasure than an ordinary soup, in which, at times, unappetizing pieces of vegetables float.

Is soup good for stomach?

A person with a number of stomach diseases should not eat raw vegetables, they can harm the body. But you also need to get the necessary vitamins and minerals. Soups help out, boiled and stewed vegetables are not harmful to the stomach.

The benefits of soup for the stomach are not overestimated - it stimulates our digestion. The first courses contribute to the production of gastric juice, thereby preparing the gastrointestinal tract for digestion. However, in order for the soup to benefit a sick stomach, it must be prepared correctly. How exactly, we will tell below.

Especially useful for digestion are soups prepared on the basis of low-fat meat broth. Puree soups are useful for diseases of the stomach, but it is necessary to select a cooking recipe in accordance with your disease. Due to their consistency, they envelop the gastric mucosa, thus preventing the contact of hydrochloric acid with its walls. But you need to use only those vegetables that can be consumed by a person with a sick stomach.

For example, those who have inflammation of the gastric mucosa should not eat beetroot soups. A good component is pumpkin, it is rich in useful substances and does not harm the stomach.

What is the best soup for the stomach? There is no unequivocal answer to this question, since much here depends on the state of the stomach itself, the existing gastrointestinal disease and other diseases. For example, a soup that is healthy for a healthy stomach can adversely affect a diseased organ, up to an exacerbation of diseases.

Healthy soups for the stomach:

Puree soups
Slimy soups prepared with the addition of cereals with a viscous consistency - oatmeal, rice, etc. Soups are prepared on the basis of vegetables and lean meat broth.
Dairy with cereals, with the exception of barley and millet. It is necessary to dilute milk with water in a ratio of 1 to 1

Harmful properties of soups

Yes, there are claims that soups can be harmful to our health, or that they are not useful in the way we think. Some argue that 70% of vitamins and minerals are destroyed during cooking, and do not pass into the broth. But harmful substances get there.

The statement is partially true, but not absolutely all vitamins are destroyed during the cooking process. Vitamin C is destroyed almost completely under the influence of high temperatures. But many B vitamins, vitamins A, E, D, PP are resistant to high temperatures. They are destroyed, but partially, and approximately 70% of their original amount remains in the soup. Cellulose during cooking is also destroyed slightly.

Another statement about the dangers of the soup is more true: various antibiotics, hormonal preparations that the animal was “fed” with, almost completely end up in the broth. But this can also be avoided: the first water must be brought to a boil and drained, adding new water.

The first hot dishes are harmful to our body because of the high fat content, of course, when it comes to meat soup. In order not to harm your health and figure, cook non-rich meals.

How to cook healthy soups

To include soup in your diet without fear of harming your health, you need to follow a number of rules when cooking:

Prepare meat soups from young animals
Choose fresh, undamaged foods
Use lean meats and fish
Vegetables must be washed well before cooking, but not soaked in water.
Do not forget to drain the first broth, as we have already said
It is better to first boil the broth on vegetables, and then add meat there, and not do the opposite.
When cooking, it is important to consider what foods people with certain diseases can eat.

Should I eat soup every day?

No matter how many battles are bred around the harm and benefits of soup, it is recommended to eat it regularly. Naturally, it will bring benefits if you cook the first course correctly, following the above recommendations. But it is impossible to replace solid food with soup, especially for a long time. This can lead to a number of diseases and problems, including lazy bowel syndrome and or dental problems. If the diet is replete with soft foods that almost do not need to be chewed, the gums weaken, not receiving the necessary chewing “charge” daily. In the long run, this can even lead to tooth loss. However, this applies not only to soups.

So is it bad to not eat soup at all? It is believed that soup, at least not daily, but should be present in our diet. For example, soups are very useful for gastritis. While “gastratics” generally have a relatively meager diet, properly cooked soup is a real helper.

We all know from childhood that the benefits of liquid meals for the digestive system are incomparable. What is the history of the use of first courses and why did they become the main component of the diet of many peoples?

The first hot stews began to be cooked more than 500 years ago, as soon as refractory dishes appeared. Today, the "first" is cooked and eaten in different countries Oh. Traditionally, soup is a dish containing 50% liquid.

In Ukraine, the first dishes are very popular, and for a long time. They not only satisfied hunger and warmed, but also helped with a hangover. The whole world associates Ukrainian cuisine with fragrant borscht, fish soup, cereal soup, and cabbage soup.

A full meal by Soviet standards had to include the first course. So, school and kindergarten canteens are still serving children for lunch "the first". The tradition has also come down to us to serve dishes for lunch in a certain order: appetizer, soup, main course, dessert.

Today, however, there are peoples who do not eat liquid meals. As well as some of us do not eat soups for years, referring to the fact that they do not taste to them. The question arises: is liquid food really necessary for health, or is it still possible to refuse it?

There are endless discussions about the benefits of liquid foods. On the one hand, the benefits of soups and light broths have been proven by time. From time immemorial, dietary broths were sold to patients with colds or intestinal diseases. Also, chicken soup is useful in the postoperative period, as it has a number of nutrients, is quickly absorbed and restores strength. On the other hand, opponents of the "first" argue that liquid food contains harmful toxins released by meat when cooking broth. In addition, they are sure that soups and other first courses can wash out gastric juice over time, which will lead to problems with digestion.

Let's listen to the opinion of leading gastroenterologists who argue that the use of liquid meals is not a prerequisite for our health. On the contrary, it can harm him when it comes to people suffering from high acidity, inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, peptic ulcer. In general, according to doctors, most of the population today suffers from gastritis, however, this disease is not directly related to the refusal of first courses. It should be remembered that liquid foods cause increased acid formation and are only useful for people with low levels of acidity. The main thing is to include in the diet foods such as meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables. It does not matter how these products are used - as part of soups or other dishes.

There are a number of tips for people who cannot imagine their life without first courses:

do not use very hot or cold "first";
do not overdo it with spices - spicy is bad for the stomach;
cook the broth on lean meats - chicken, turkey, beef;
do not use artificial food seasonings - they are toxic to the body;
do vegetable "frying" for soup in olive oil to avoid the formation of trans fats.

To eat or not to eat first courses - it's up to you! Remember our recommendations and stay healthy!
