Chicken Soup For The Colon

Laboratory tests proved what grandmas have known for years: chicken soup is excellent for your colon. The researchers discovered that chicken soup and its principal components hinder the movement of neutrophils—white blood cells that consume bacteria and viruses capable of infectious diseases. As the temperature decreases outside, get comfortable inside and curl up by the fire with a bowl of deliciously, heated soup.
