    Drinking hot soup is bad for the stomach and intestines. The normal temperature of a person's mouth is around 37°C, and the maximum temperature that the oral cavity, esophagus, and gastric mucosa can withstand is only about 60°C. Exceeding this temperature can easily cause mucosal damage. Moreover, it should also be noted that drinking hot soup will increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Therefore, you should wait for the soup to cool down before drinking, so as to ensure that the body is not threatened by disease.
