Black Wood Ear Mushroom and Daylily Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

When health experts began discussing the link between low vitamin D levels and greater vulnerability to respiratory infections, many people started paying more attention to their diet. Black wood ear mushrooms and shiitake are among the few plant-based food sources of vitamin D — and when combined with the complete protein from organic chicken and lean pork, this soup becomes a genuinely nourishing meal. It is simple, light, and suitable for the whole family. Rather than any specific claim, think of it as a thoughtfully assembled bowl of ingredients that support your body’s overall wellbeing.

    Jujube was associated with significantly lower BMI and triglycerides, and lower fasting blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. LDL and total cholesterol fell only in some subgroups. HDL, AST and ALT did not change significantly.Limitation: The authors state the overall quality of the evidence is limited, and results varied significantly by dose, treatment duration and disease type.PubMed 40399274 · 3 more red dates studies
  • Ginger · Meta-analysis, 23 studies · 2022
    Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
