Does chicken soup really cure weakness?
Answer: I have other felt it to relieve some of my worst flu symptoms. I usually get hold of the hot and sour Chinese variety. It have some vinegar in it which I muse helps beside congestion.
Chicken soup itself is not really the cure to illness. It is more of a comfort food. It make you feel righteous when you eat it. It's thaw and healthy for you. Mind over business.:) No. It makes me be aware of worse.
Chicken soup contains a natural antibiotic compound. I can't remember the heading of it, but it will help you to rest from illness and infection. I'm told that it works. My mom swears that it works. It seem to be basic knowhow that it works. I do not have a clue why but I know it works for me too.
There is something within chicken soup, maybe the broth?, that make it work but I have no clue what the "something" is.
Maybe it's adjectives the anti-biotics that they give the chickens? :-)
j/k
Anyway, it's cheap and it taste pretty good. Especially the Progresso super chunky stuff (not as cheap but better tasting).
Try it ... it can't hurt. But I'm told it works in the main for colds. And now I hear that it works for flu too. The best entry for FLU that I have ever found is Oscillococcinum by Boiron (homeopathic remedy). It make the flu "disappear" for 4 hours as if it were not even in attendance. Awesome stuff.
I don't think so Acutally what make you feel better is contained by the broth. my grandfather would drink the broth of a chicken that had lately been boiled when he have flu like symptoms. It worked..
I agree next to Leah. It is a comfort food that makes you FEEL better. You've hear the saying - nurture a cold, starve a fever.
