We need to add a dietary habit, that is, drink soup before meals. This is because food is a channel from the mouth, throat, esophagus to the stomach. Before meals, drinking a few sips of soup is equivalent to adding some "lubricant" to this digestive tract so that the food can swallow smoothly and prevent dry and hard food from stimulating the digestive tract mucosa. If you do not drink soup before meals, you will feel thirsty after meals due to the large amount of gastric juice secretion, resulting in excessive body fluid loss. At this time, drinking water will dilute the gastric juice and affect the stomach's absorption and digestion of food. However, drinking soup before meals here refers to a few sips, rather than drinking it in big bowls. #Indigestion##Traditional Medicine is here#
