Health benefits of Ginger Chicken Soup

Ginger chicken soup or Chicken Tinola is the Philippines healing soup. Soups are comforting, easy to digest and they can provide the nutrients your body needs to recover. Chicken soup is the ultimate home remedy for colds. Ginger chicken soup also used as a remedy for joint pain. Because ginger contains gingerol, a compound that blocks the action of prostaglandins, hormone-like chemicals that contribute to inflammation. Ginger can also help to combat the virus that causes flu. Ginger chicken soup is also my daughter’s favorite soup and here in the Philippines, we usually made it with green papaya or with fresh spinach.

Modern scientists have confirmed that chicken soups stops certain white blood cells from congregating and causing inflammation, which in turn triggers the body to produce copious amounts of mucus. It also thins mucous more effectively than plain hot water.
