How Soup Aids Weight Loss

Ever wish for a little extra help? A secret weapon, perhaps, to help you lose weight?

A method that doesn't make you feel deprived? Soup can be your friend if you are wanting to lose weight.

The high water content and fiber-rich vegetables found in warm, broth-based soups team together to make you feel full and more satisfied for longer periods. And when you feel full you are less likely to binge on less healthful foods.

Eating more soup packed with health-boosting benefits makes it easier for you to stay on track — you easily take in more nutrients and eat fewer calories.

Strengthens Your Immune System

Among soup's health-boosting benefits is its ability to help you build a strong and healthy immune system.

Our bodies have even been shown to heal faster when nourished with soup. And because the life-giving nutrition of soup doesn't requiring much energy to digest, it's a great food for people recuperating from an illness.

As soup boosts our immunity, it helps us maintain health, prevents illness, and slows the aging process.

Fights Aging
with Nutrient-Dense Vegetables and Herbs

Gaze into a bowl filled with delicious soup and you'll spot colorful bites of health-boosting ingredients.

But to more fully appreciate their goodness, let's take a closer look at some vegetables and herbs commonly found in soup.

• Carrots offer many protective health benefits. High in fiber and low in calories, carrots are a natural weight-loss food. They are also one of our best sources of beta carotene and have been found to ward off cancers, heart disease, cataracts, and strokes.

• Tomatoes are rich in health-promoting lycopene, vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin K. Tomatoes are one of our best sources of the antioxidant lycopene which has been shown to be very protective against cancer and heart disease.

• Beans are a rich source of protein, fiber, and B vitamin folate. Studies have shown the regular consumption of beans to decrease one’s risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and many cancers. Eating more beans can also prove helpful in achieving and maintaining your desired weight attributed at least in part because of their high protein, high fiber, and low fat content.

• Onions provide protection for the heart and blood vessels, lower our risk of several types of cancer, and can help increase our bone density. They also provide us with anti-inflammatory benefits and are useful in helping prevent bacterial infections.

• Herbs and Spices are especially helpful in boosting brain power and fighting aging. In fact, many of the culinary herbs most commonly used in the preparation of soups - oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, and parsley - are also among the most beneficial for good health.

Whole cloves, nutmeg, and black peppercorns
