People who often pursue health know that chicken soup is a highly nourishing food, but many people do not know that the method of making chicken soup can affect its efficacy. Below, we will introduce the recipes for medicinal chicken soup suitable for different groups of people.
[Benefits of Medicinal Chicken Soup]
Chicken soup is not only delicious but also has significant health benefits, making it the first choice for many people to "replenish deficiencies".
However, not everyone is suitable for drinking chicken soup because the nutrients in chicken soup are derived from a small amount of water-soluble small molecule proteins, fats, and inorganic salts dissolved from chicken oil, chicken skin, chicken meat, and chicken bones. The protein content in the soup is only about 7% of the chicken meat, and most of the chicken oil in the soup belongs to saturated fatty acids.
Nevertheless, it is still necessary for people who need nourishment to occasionally make a pot of "medicinal chicken soup". By adding traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients to the chicken soup, it not only provides nourishment but also has a therapeutic effect. In addition, for office workers, young women, and other groups, "medicinal chicken soup" can also help fight fatigue and promote beauty and skincare.
