Many people struggle with inflammation, but I find that after the holidays it's even more common. Why? Because over the holidays we're usually eating more of the foods that can cause inflammation like gluten, sugar, dairy, alcohol, etc. This gut healthy ginger & turmeric carrot soup is anti-inflammatory and perfect for a chilly night. It is jam packed with nutrients, has a velvety smooth texture and tastes delicious! GINGER: has been used for centuries to help calm an upset... stomach. Ginger stimulates the production of bile making it a wonderful digestive aid. TURMERIC: is a known anti-inflammatory ingredient. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin (which is activated with black pepper) and has been shown to help reduce inflammation not only in the gut but also throughout the body.In addition, turmeric can help relieve heartburn, gas and bloating. BONE BROTH:The most notable amino acid for enhancing the gut lining found in bone broth is glutamine. Glutamine can also boost immune cell activity in the gut, helping prevent infection and inflammation, while soothing the intestinal tissue. GARLIC: Garlic is also a prebiotic that feeds your gut’s beneficial bacteria while also having anti-bacterial effects. It can fight yeast, fungus and candida overgrowth in the gut. #guthealth #recipe #recipes #recipeoftheday #garlic #drpolcino https://drpolcino.com/2021//27/ginger-turmeric-carrot-soup/ See more
