Kangen Vs. Colds

Its September and cold and flu season is upon us. Of course we all want to avoid illness all together but sometimes that just isn't possible this time of year. So what do you do once you've got a cold? Chicken soup, of course!

Many Doctors agree that grandma's home remedy of chicken soup packs a lot of vitamins, especially if made from scratch. The steam can also help reduce congestion and some researchers found evidence that the broth has anti-inflammatory properties that aid in soothing your sore throat and helping to stop the movement of the white blood cells that encourage the flow of mucus that accumulates in the lungs and nose. Ew! A runny nose is never fun.

You already know that Kangen water brings out the flavor of the ingredients. And with more flavor, you'll need less salt and sodium making the Chicken Soup even healthier! Here is a great base recipe that can be modified to you and your families tastes:

Ingredients:
1 small whole uncooked chicken (approx 3 pounds)
6 carrots, peeled and cut up
6 celery stalks, chopped
3 onions, quartered
Kangen Water, enough to cover everything
2-3 teaspoons black pepper, more or less to taste
2-3 cubes chicken bouillon, optional
Noodles or rice, optional

Directions:
1) Place whole chicken and half of vegetables into a large stock pot. Cover with cold Kangen water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about two and a half hours, or until the meat falls off the bones of the chicken.

2) Remove the chicken from the pot, pick all the meat from the bones, discard the remaining bones. Add the meat back to the pot as well as the remaining vegetables and noodles if desired. Add black pepper (and other herbs and spices suited to your tastes) and optional bouillon cubes, and simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the additionally added veggies are cooked.

Enjoy!
