Soup As A Healthy Diet

Soups are always considered an excellent meal during cold winter days, rainy season or if you’re not feeling well. It is best served hot so you will not feel bloated or sluggish, but it can be served cold as well. Soup for cleansing includes ingredients like fruits and vegetables, grains and other add-ons. Ready-made soups are also available in the market if you don’t have enough time to buy raw and cook.

Different varieties of soups provide enough carbohydrates and retain most of the fiber for good digestion and because you’re really eating food, it won’t leave you feeling hungry.

If you are concerned with the amount of sugar from fruits, go for vegetable-based soups. Higher contents of protein are maintained in detox soups.

There are also soup detox programs which require strict compliance to the plan. This can be daunting but the effectiveness is undeniable. So if you are down with scheduled soup eating and programmed grocery shopping, choose this method.

However you can always prepare your own and experiment. It can be fun this way.

For more satisfying yet incredibly healthful soup diet, avoid adding white flour pasta and processed meat. One suggestion is to use bone broth as soup base. It helps joint health and repair, reduces inflammation and more.
