This recipe focuses on easy-to-digest ingredients that calm inflammation, hydrate the body, and gently support the gut. It avoids heavy fats, dairy, or anything overly spicy. Instead, it leans on fresh vegetables, natural herbs, and mineral-rich broth to help your system reset.
Ginger, garlic, and turmeric offer anti-inflammatory and digestive support, while carrots, zucchini, and greens provide vitamins and fiber to promote gut health. This is truly food that heals.
