By adding a few token ingredients, you can elevate this soup into a powerful disease-fighting remedy. Plus, it only takes about 15 minutes to make!

INFLAMMATION AND CHRONIC DISEASE

The major root of all disease is chronic inflammation. Of course, inflammation is part of regular immune response but eating acidic foods, being stressed out, and not exercising enough can cause inflammation to get out of control.

Conditions like arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and even multiple sclerosis are all linked to inflammation.

Luckily, inflammation can be kept under control through a few changes in your diet and lifestyle. By choosing the right foods, you can actually eat your way towards better health.

HEALING INGREDIENTS

These simple ingredients are the key disease-fighting elements in the recipe below.

Turmeric

Turmeric is an orange root similar to ginger that has the ability to fight inflammation.

Its active compound, curcumin, has powerful anticancer benefits and can even stop the progression of  breast cancer, colon cancer, leukemia, and melanoma.

This golden spice also has the power to protect the brain from inflammation and toxins and treat depression.

Other medicinal uses include its ability to indigestion, ulcerative colitis, liver problems, arthritis, and improve cognitive function.

Black Pepper

Black pepper fights inflammation on its own by it also increases the bioavailability of curcumin by up to 2000%.

Heating up the spice and combining it with a healthy oil also increases its absorption rate.

Tomato

Tomatoes contain a carotenoid antioxidant called lycopene and that helps regulate inflammatory response .

A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that drinking 280 mL of tomato juice is associated with a 22% decrease in levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a potent marker of inflammation, and a 25% increase in adiponectin, a hormone that regulates insulin sensitivity and energy levels.

The compound protects against prostate, breast, lung, bladder, ovaries, colon, and pancreatic cancer. It also plays a role in cardiovascular health and can even prevent heart disease, hypertension, and atherosclerosis.

Naringenin, a compound found in tomato skin, also fights inflammation while quercetin, another flavonoid, fight free radicals and cancerous cells .
