Anti-Inflammatory Golden Soup
It’s understandably concerning when your body rapidly heats up, turns red, becomes sore, and starts swelling like a balloon. As concerning as it is, this is a common response your body has when it comes into contact with harmful stimuli. Various factors can cause a bodily reaction like this, from certain foods you’re ingesting to a health condition. Whether your inflammation is the result of your health, an injury, or even your lifestyle choices, the sensation is uncomfortable and, most of the time, painful.
It might seem like an endless, difficult battle fighting your inflammation, but you need to know the fight can be easier: as easy as eating. What’s better is the ingredients that can help fight your inflammation are delicious and easily found in grocery stores or grown in your backyard!
For something that can help your swollen body so easily, it makes sense that its name is Golden. The ingredients in this Golden Soup deserve a gold medal for their anti-inflammatory properties, and you’ll soon understand why.
What are the health benefits of Golden Soup?
Given the name ‘Golden Soup,’ you might notice that the dominating color of the ingredients is orange. Realizing this may prompt you to question the significance of the ingredient color orange and what the ingredients have in common.
Color plays an important role in nature, and each color carries a significant meaning. The colors in fruits and vegetables are pigments, organic compounds created by the plant to be used for its survival by attracting pollinators and creating camouflage. While these organic compounds benefit the plant that created them, they are also miraculous for aiding human health concerns.
Each color is created by different organic compounds, giving each color different healing properties. The color orange is produced by organic compounds known as carotenoids, including alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. These carotenoids have been linked to various health benefits, acting as ammunition to combat oxidative stress, including inflammation. Here are some specifics on the ingredients in this Golden Soup:
- Butternut Squash – Butternut squash is a stem vegetable that contains carotenoids and polyphenols that help fight inflammation.
- Carrot – Carrot is a root vegetable that contains carotenoids and phytonutrients that help fight inflammation.
- Turmeric – Turmeric is a root vegetable that contains polyphenols, specifically curcumin, that help fight inflammation as severe as arthritis.
- Ginger – Ginger is a root vegetable that contains bioactive compounds, specifically gingerol and phenolic compounds, to combat inflammation and pain.
- Garlic – Garlic is a root vegetable that contains bioactive and phenolic compounds to help combat inflammation.
- Cardamom – Cardamom is a seed that contains 1,8-cineole, the active ingredient that helps fight inflammation.
- Bone Broth – Bone broth contains hyaluronic acid and so much more, which help strengthen bones and combat inflammation.
- Coconut Milk – Coconut milk contains phenolic compounds that aid in the fight against inflammation.
All the fast pain-relieving meds out there are doing nothing more than poison you with their lab-made chemicals. All this when nature already provided you with its potent remedies! If you need to quickly fix your inflammation and get rid of that annoying pain with the strongest natural painkiller salve you can find, check this one out. I didn’t believe it worked until I saw the reviews:
Though all the ingredients in this soup will help aid in your combat, there is one that overpowers the rest: turmeric. Turmeric has been used for centuries for its healing properties and has been recognized for its ability to ease chronic inflammation, especially in those with arthritis. Science has worked its magic and found the source of this healing property inside turmeric, known as bioactive curcuminoid polyphenols.
Surprisingly, coconut milk is a close runner-up. Coconut milk is often used with other beneficial ingredients as a diverse and synergistic combination. By adding coconut milk to this Golden Soup, you’re giving yourself a bonus of anti-inflammation power. On top of the added anti-inflammation power, studies show that those under heat stress who consume a coconut milk combination are less stressed by the heat.

Grocery stores carry butternut squash in the fall season. If you’re looking for butternut squash in a grocery store during the off-season, you will likely find it pureed in a can or tetra pack. If you grow butternut squash in your backyard, you will harvest in the fall, and the vegetables could last until next year’s harvest season.

To make a homemade butternut squash puree, slice a large butternut squash in half and clean out the inside. Bake the halves, inside up, at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes. Blend until pureed.
To make bone broth from scratch, purchase a bone from your local butcher and add it to a pot of water, bring it to a boil and simmer. Keep the bones covered with water by adding warm water when necessary, skimming the foamy top layer. After 8-12 hours of simmering, let it cool and remove the bone.
Will try this.
