Inflammation is one of the most common digestion problems and can be a major roadblock for seeing the results of your healthy eating habits. Inflammation can often manifest as bloating and discomfort in the abdomen, making you appear distended and larger than you actually are. This can mimic the appearance of weight gain when it is in fact often just a build up of gas.
While inflammation is certainly frustrating, there are a number of solutions to ease the issue, such as some gentle stretching and exercise, or even specific foods which have been known to cut through bloat and soothe discomfort in the belly. If you’ve been working to lose weight but are unable to see the results of your hard work due to abdominal bloating, this is the best recipe for easing inflammation and promoting overall digestional health.
Turmeric Chicken Rice Soup
Turmeric is well known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it makes a valuable addition to any dish. This seasoning, in tandem with a number of other ingredients in this soup, will work to cut through bloat quickly. Brown rice and other whole grains have also been known to aid in digestion as they are high in fiber, so this recipe provides a healthy carb source and soothes any inflammation.
Ingredients: Chicken breast, onion, carrots, celery, chicken or bone broth, long grain brown rice, olive oil, rosemary, thyme and turmeric
