In life, many people like to soak a little vegetable soup in their rice when they eat, which makes it more delicious and eliminates the need to drink soup. In fact, this practice is wrong. Eating too much rice in this soup can easily cause harm to the stomach.
The first step for food to be taken into the human body is to go through preliminary digestion – chewing, that is, cutting large pieces of food into small particles. At the same time, salivary glands constantly secrete saliva, which fully mixes saliva and food under the action of the tongue. At this time, salivary amylase in saliva will be decomposed into maltose, so that food can be further absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. However, when eating rice in soup, due to the effect of soup, the number and degree of chewing will instinctively decrease, and the food will directly enter the intestinal tract for digestion, while the food itself has not been fully softened, which will cause indigestion and further damage our digestive tract.
what will happen if you eat this kind of rice that is not fully chewed
1. For people with strong stomach function, it is not a problem to eat soup and rice occasionally; However, for people with poor gastric function, eating soup and rice often will cause a great burden on the gastrointestinal function, which will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa and easily lead to gastric ulcer, bloating, epigastric pain and other symptoms.
2. For children, in addition to causing damage to their weak gastrointestinal tract, their chewing function can not be exercised due to insufficient chewing of food. 3. Chewing food fully can also make the mouth feel various tastes, which can make the human body secrete enough digestive juice to help digestion. However, making rice in soup does not allow the human body enough time to secrete digestive juice. On the contrary, when food goes down with the soup, it will dilute the original digestive juice, which is not conducive to food digestion.
