There are a lot of people in life are very fond of soup, and will drink the soup dregs, that most of the nutrients of meat and vegetables are in the soup dregs, very complementary! Is this the truth? Most of the components of the meat is no way to enter the soup inside, therefore, whether it is chicken soup, meat soup or fish soup, soup protein content is far less than the meat itself. The protein content of the soup is far less than the meat itself Meat is made up of muscle fibers, in which soluble myoplasmic proteins and other easy to enter the soup, but most of the muscle fiber components are difficult to dissolve out. Generally speaking, the protein content of broth, chicken broth is only 1% to 2%, and 15% to 20% of the meat compared to the protein content is obviously much lower. Soup calcium, iron content is not high calcium in the bones and meat in the iron, belongs to the insoluble components, so most of the soup calcium and iron is not soluble out of the soup, only potassium so soluble components can enter the soup. Meat in soup is not “slag” Those proteins that cannot be dissolved are not indigestible by the human body. Healthy people have teeth, stomach acid, pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin and other enzymes, which are capable of digesting large proteins that are not dissolved and turning them into small amino acids, which are then absorbed into the blood. Not to mention the softer chicken and fish, even the hard beef jerky is not a problem. Therefore, for the vast majority of people with normal digestion and absorption ability, if you only drink soup every day, but not eat the meat inside the soup, the body intake of protein is too small, can not play a role in calcium and iron. “Soup” the value of the size of the “picky” chicken broth broth is still a lot of good things, such as dissolved free amino acids, small peptides, glutamate, glutamine, creatine, B vitamins and other substances. Glutamine and glutamic acid are both non-essential amino acids that may seem dispensable, but actually have their place. In the case of malnutrition, as well as surgery, post-sickness weakness, intestinal cell energy supply is insufficient, there will be a loss of appetite, indigestion, and in severe cases, even intestinal obstruction. The high content of glutamine and glutamic acid in the soup can be quickly absorbed by the intestinal cells to provide energy and help patients improve their appetite and digestion.
