Benefits of Healing Green Soup: A Delicious and Easy Gut-Healing Recipe

Healing Green soup made with bone broth and puréed vegetables is a powerhouse for gut health, recovery, and overall wellness. Here’s why:

1. Supports Muscle Recovery & Joint Health

Bone broth is rich in collagen, gelatin, and amino acids (glycine, proline, and glutamine) that:

  • Helps repair muscles and tendons after workouts.
  • Reduce joint pain and inflammation.
  • Improves skin elasticity and hydration.

2. Aids in Lactic Acid Clearance & Detox

Green vegetables (spinach, kale, celery, zucchini, etc.) are high in alkalizing minerals (magnesium, potassium, and calcium) that:

  • Neutralize lactic acid buildup in muscles.
  • Improves liver detox and reduces inflammation.
  • Helps maintain electrolyte balance, preventing cramps.

3. Improves Gut Health & Digestion

Bone broth + fiber from puréed veggies:

  • Heal the gut lining (great for leaky gut or IBS).
  • Support good bacteria in the microbiome.
  • Improves nutrient absorption, especially post-workout.

4. Boosts Immunity & Reduces Inflammation

Packed with antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, K), and minerals that:

  • Strengthening the immune system.
  • Reduce oxidative stress from intense exercise.
  • Lower inflammation, aiding in faster recovery.

5. Promotes Hydration & Electrolyte Balance

Naturally hydrating due to the high water content in broth + veggies.
Restores electrolytes lost in sweat (sodium, potassium, and magnesium).
