CEBU, Philippines - It’s the cold, rainy season and it is also the time for colds and flu. While there are a lot of medications for these conditions, a cup or bowl of the good old chicken soup can be a remedy for your colds and flu. According to an article featured in www.mayoclinic.com, scientists have found that chicken soup does have effects that might help relieve cold and flu symptoms. First, chicken soup acts as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the movement of neutrophils or immune system cells that participate in the body’s inflammatory response, and second, the soup temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus, possible helping relieve congestion.
Here is a truly Pinoy chicken soup recipe, Chicken Binakol, from www.stepbysteprecipe.com that can help you with your colds and flu.
