    Cantonese people have the habit of drinking soup before meals. Scientific research shows: "Drinking soup before meals is better than a prescription." Before eating, drink a few mouthfuls of soup, which is equivalent to adding a "lubricant" to the digestive tract, so that the food can be swallowed smoothly, preventing dry and hard food from stimulating the digestive tract mucosa, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food by the gastrointestinal tract.
