Warm, lightly spiced drumstick soup has long been recommended in Ayurveda and traditional practice for those recovering from fever, digestive upset, or surgery. Now, its benefits make more sense. The combination of soluble and insoluble fiber supports regular bowel movements and feeds beneficial gut bacteria involved in immunity-mood-and metabolic health.
Simultaneously, the liquid base is non-irritating to the stomach and thus suitable when heavier foods are too much to take. Add in ginger, garlic-and black pepper-and you bring in some added digestive and anti-inflammatory support, something so intuitively used in most Indian households.
