EXPRESS BROCCOLI SOUP
I propose you an EXPRESS BROCCOLI SOUP, prepare this anti-inflammatory recipe in 30 minutes.
The perfect starter on a daily menu, firstly this broccoli soup, secondly, a main protein course (based on meat, fish or egg).
To prepare this soup you need a few vegetables with which to make a good initial stir-fry, and a good broccoli.
If you get organic vegetables, you will ensure that your recipe is much healthier, avoiding the contribution of chemical substances that, inevitably, are found in vegetables that have been treated with pesticides.
Try to find local markets, and always eat seasonal products. This is one way to find organically farmed food at a better price.
And if for economic reasons you cannot get hold of this type of product, what you should do is wash the food very well before cooking and consuming it, but never substitute vegetables for this reason, much less replace them with another type of packaged food. or industrial products.
Consume quality products, take advantage of seasonal vegetables and fruits.
The same goes for meat, if you can buy meat from grass-fed animals or free-range chicken, perfect, if you can't, at least go to a trusted butcher shop where you can find out the origin and traceability of the product.
But, as I said before, do not make an excuse that the meat is not organic so as not to eat it (same with eggs), because you need a good daily protein intake.
Keep in mind that unless you are vegetarian or vegan and use other protein sources, animal foods are the best and most bioavailable source of protein you will find.
No industrial product can replace them.
That said, I also encourage you to eat a lot of a variety of vegetables, which are a source of flavonoids and prebiotic fiber, so important for intestinal health and with multiple benefits for general health.
Because remember, health begins in the intestine and there are multiple connections between it and other fundamental parts of our body.
Surely you have heard of the intestine-brain axis, or the intestine-lung axis, and the intestine-skin axis?
This broccoli soup provides you with prebiotic fiber, essential for keeping your microbiota healthy.
