Which soup you should not take if you are aiming for healthy weight loss?

Thinking to lose weight initiates us to focus on every food choice we make nutritiously.

In case of soups, not all soups are the same. In today’s busy lifestyle, one who wishes to lose weight through healthy diet options are prone to select the easiest preparing ready to make food choices.

Packed/canned soups or few soups at the restaurants are loaded with hidden fat and sugar sources in the form of preservatives. The ingredients used are not of fresh quality, leaving the major content of the soup to be starchy, sugar and sodium.

The vegetable content of any instant soup is almost negligible besides containing depleted nutrients.

Just having soup for being healthy is not correct. One has to understand contents, which are not ideal for weight loss and prepare/consume soup accordingly and then only it can be considered healthy.

Checking food labels for the for better food choices in important.

Making soup at home without preservatives and low fat ingredients will help to enhance the value of it. Using
substitutes like fat-free or low-fat milk instead of heavy cream, almond milk, soya milk, blanched vegetable
over canned ones. You can use chicken broth to thicken the soup with pureed vegetables, lentils, beans or
tofu. Simple ingredients like ginger, garlic, cloves and herbs, nutmeg, spices enhances the natural flavours and

unhealthy snacks, switching to broth based soups will give you sense of fullness or better satiety.

d) The associated conditions in these patients like diabetes, blood pressure, breathing difficulty add to the difficulties before and after the joint replacement.

2. Weight loss surgery or bariatric surgery before the joint and knee replacement

Observations

a) Weight loss surgery adds distinct benefits like weight loss, reversal or control of diabetes, blood pressure and breathlessness.

b) Patient’s pain also reduces significantly because of the weight loss and less pressure on joints. In many patients, the pain totally disappears, and knee replacement can be deferred.

c) Post knee and joint surgery their movements on recommended physiotherapy exercises also turns easy
