Daniel Fast Day #12: Miso Soup to the rescue!

After a long, but fun weekend my body is drained! I thought I was just sore and tired yesterday from completing my B. Silque™ training this weekend, but this morning I was feeling a bit under the weather so I'm home resting now after a morning of teaching classes. 

A dear friend and client at the studio (Hi Karen!) recommended Miso Soup and warm liquids all day to help me fight this ickiness. Karen is a Holistic Health Practitioner who specializes in Chinese Medicine at Meridian Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, so I definitely trust her on this matter! 

Miso is a paste made from soybeans, salt and different grains that have been fermented. Miso Soup was used to treat those affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings! There are a TON of health benefits to consuming Miso, it contains all the amino acids required to make a complete protein for the body, strengthens the immune system (bring it on!) and protects the body against free radicals, just to name a few! 

I bought instant Miso soup packets this morning- but I found some really easy recipes for homemade Miso Soup on Vegan American Princess- that I can't wait to try next time! You can also purchase Miso HERE!
