Why people make this soup

Nourilo notes that cancer seems more common these days, possibly tied to pollution in water and food, radiation and other environmental factors — and don’t underestimate long-term stress, which many feel can wear the body down. While no soup can prevent illness, he likes the idea that everyday colourful vegetables — white radish, carrot, red apple — are rich in nourishing antioxidants and simply good for keeping the body strong. Having bought too many Fuji apples to eat, he turned them into this wholesome, clear soup with radish and a little antioxidant-rich laver.

    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
