Grandma's Chicken Soup
A laboratory test has now confirmed what grandmas have known for years: chicken soup is good for you. The researchers found that chicken soup and its main ingredients help inhibit the migration of neutrophils — white blood cells that swallow up bacteria and viruses responsible for infectious diseases. Your neutrophil count lies somewhere between 3,000 and 6,000 neutrophils per milliliter of blood, but chemotherapy and some radiotherapy treatments can lower your neutrophil count, making you more prone to getting infections.See the Recipe
Chicken Soup with Rice and Broccoli
This scrumptious chicken soup features broccoli, a great anti-cancer vegetable that helps eliminate carcinogenic toxins, induce apoptosis in stomach cancer cells, fight DNA damage, and prevent the development of benign tumors into malignant ones. But the anti-cancer properties of this soup do not end there: also the organic celery in this soup adds to its cancer-thwarting properties. Celery is known to contain at least eight families of cancer-combating compounds.See the Recipe
Beet and Carrot Soup
This recipe pairs carrots with beets to create an enticing crimson soup that is also rich in nutrients that help prevent stomach cancer. Several studies have found betacyanin, a phytochemical responsible for beets' red-magenta color, to be highly effective at preventing cancer while carrots contain falcarinol, a compound that has been shown to inhibit the development of cancer.See the Recipe
