Miso soup has many health benefits that we don’t always know about. It encourages weight loss, it is a good cure for a hangover, it fights tiredness and could even fight cancer, according to the Japanese.
Miso is Japan’s national soup. It is made from soya seeds, sea salt, water, barley and other ingredients. Wakamé seaweed is added to it, as it is known to strengthen the immune system. Water, mushrooms, tofu and chives are also added. It’s a recipe packed with health benefits. Miso soup actually does our body good. It provides various nutrients, vitamins and amino acids without being greasy or high in calories, according to naturopath Corinne AlliouxGoldfarbe. This soup allows you to lose weight and is best eaten in the morning or at lunchtime. Miso soup also combats heartburn and soothes sore stomachs. It makes digestion easier and restores natural intestinal bacteria. The proteins, vitamins and amino acids it contains prevent tiredness and give you energy every day.
If you are hungover, you will eliminate all the toxins from the alcohol and it will re-hydrate you. Studies carried out in Japan also show that miso soup may prevent stomach and breast cancer. These findings were confirmed by the National Institute for cancer research in 2003. According to Corinne AlliouxGoldfarbe, miso soup protects our bodies and gets rid of toxins.
