    Feeling tired and run down? Dealing with a cold or the flu? Try this easy to make delicious Anti-Inflammatory Vegan Soup to help you avoid getting sick and make you feel better faster! While chicken soup and vitamin C are staple remedies, adding an anti-inflammatory diet will help prevent serious health problems. This soup is packed full of Vitamins A, B6, C, E, K, nutrients, powerful antioxidant properties that help protect cells against damage by free radicals, and minerals.

    Anti-inflammatory foods have been well studied to reduce inflammation. They include lots of fruits and vegetables, plant-based proteins, fatty fish, fresh herbs and spices.

    Inflammation is the body's natural process to heal and defend itself from infection, illness or injury. However, inflammation is harmful when it becomes chronic due to stress, poor eating habits, lack of sleep or being over-weight. If you suffer from gut disorders, autoimmune disease, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, incorporating these simple food into your diet is a great idea!

    Classic tell tale signs of inflammation can include redness, heat, pain or swelling.

    • In addition to eating a whole food diet, it is important to exercise and sleep can reduce inflammation.

    3 Tips to Prevent Getting Sick

    1. Avoid/reduce eating inflammatory foods. Avoid eating sugary treats and desserts! - sugar weakens your immune system.
    2. Getting quality restorative sleep for at least 8 hours - lack of sleep impairs the immune system. Our bodies naturally repair it's self while sleeping by releasing certain disease-fighting chemicals.
    3. Avoid/reducing drinking alcohol (yes, this includes wine!) Alcohol dehydrates the body, the microbes in your gut and impairs your immune system up to 24 hours.

    Getting sick is inevitable but we can heal it by healthy, wholesome, nutritious food that helps reduce inflammation and boost our immune system.

    With the current news of COVID-19 epidemic (pandemic really...) it is a friendly reminder to treat our bodies well and to remember to wash your f*cking hands (with soup for at least 20 seconds)! Sing the Happy Birthday song 2x!
