WHY SOUPS
ARE BEST FOR YOUR GUT HEALTH?
For centuries, doctors and healers in every culture have recommended soups and broths to cleanse, nourish and heal. There’s a reason for that. Soup enables your body to go naturally into detox mode while replenishing it with essential minerals, increasing circulation and reducing inflammation.
you absorb more minerals
Soups are easier to digest. Cooking softens the fibers, warms the food, and helps your body digest everything. True, it destroys a few vitamins, but it makes minerals much easier to absorb.
you eat more veggies
Think about it: an entire bag of spinach becomes a tiny portion the moment you steam it. One bowl of soup can have two bags! The amount of nutrition you are getting is mind-blowing. Veggies are the best prebiotics to promote the growth if good gut flora.
you get more yang
Ying and Yang are a fundamental part of Traditional Chinese Medicine; yin is negative and dark, while yang is positive and bright. More yang which is what soups provide is better for healing, mostly because toxins are yin.
soups balance doshas
In Ayurveda, soups are the cornerstone of healing. Raw foods are considered cold and harder to digest. Gentle cooking, spices and herbs in the soups enhance digestion, provide nutrients and create more satiety. Your body relaxes; the organs get a little time off from breaking down food, allowing liver and kidney to easily dispose of toxins.
