Physiologist Irina Lyalina told who should stop drinking pea soup.

Physiologist Lyalina stated that pea soup has many advantages, but due to some features it is not suitable for everyone. Many people's digestive systems are very sensitive to peas, which contain a lot of complex carbohydrates. Its use can provoke bloating and increased gas formation, the expert warned.

In addition, pea soup is rich in purines, substances that can slow down the metabolism of uric acid in the body, which is fraught with the activation of inflammation and the development of autoimmune reactions.

“Peas are rich in purines, and this can lead to an increase in uric acid levels and worsen the condition of people prone to gout. In addition, it is not recommended for people with digestive problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome, to eat pea soup,” physiologist Lyalina warned in a conversation with Life.
Who else should not eat pea soup, peas and dishes made from it.

  • People with pancreatitis: peas have a high concentration of hard-to-digest starch, with this disease you need to refuse to eat all legumes.
  • People with inflammation of the stomach and duodenum, cholecystitis;
  • People with kidney and urinary system diseases (peas stimulate the production of urea and provoke pain in the organs).

What is the use of pea soup?According to Lyalina, boiled peas are rich in dietary fiber, which helps improve digestion and helps normalize blood sugar and cholesterol levels. They also provide the body with vitamins: specifically, B vitamins, vitamins A, C, K. In addition, trace elements in the form of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus.

Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that vegetables are not always healthy – not all people can eat them unconditionally.
