NUTRITION TIP Soup is a healthy food and a great choice for weight control as it promotes satiety and prevents hunger. A study from Oxford Brookes University in the UK found that soup curbs appetite because it empties from the stomach slower than solid food. It also triggered a fast increase in blood sugar. The scientists measured gastric emptying rate and blood sugar levels after study participant consumed soup and solid meals. Soup makes people feel fuller because it empties from the stomach slowly, stretches the stomach and provides a ready supply of nutrients.
