The medicinal value of miso soup

Soup is indispensable when we eat. However, many people often eat in the cafeteria due to work or study, and the soups in the cafeteria are usually free, so generally speaking, they are not nutritious. Most of them are seaweed egg drop soup and tomato egg soup, and sometimes there is also vegetable and tofu soup, so many people are often unwilling to drink it. Many people may not know the benefits of soup to the human body.

The correct way to drink soup is before meals. This will not only open the stomach and help the stomach digest and absorb food later, but also promote the peristalsis of the large intestine, making the food easier to digest, rather than drinking soup after meals, which is the worst. Let’s talk about the medicinal value of miso soup.

Miso, also known as miso sauce, is made from soybeans as the main ingredient, with salt and different types of koji added and fermented. In Japan, miso is the most popular condiment. It can be made into soups, cooked with meat, and used as the base of hot pot. Since miso is rich in protein, amino acids and dietary fiber, eating it regularly is good for your health. Drinking miso soup when the weather turns cold can also warm your body and wake up your stomach.

Miso soup is usually prepared as follows:

Ingredients: snapper, red and white radish, fish bones, miso, green onion, MSG

The general effects of miso soup include: nourishing and protecting the liver, replenishing blood, replenishing qi, enhancing memory, treating constipation, stimulating appetite and digestion, lowering blood sugar, burning fat, and anti-aging.
