Based on a couple of people on TikTok, having miso soup for breakfast everyday, may actually change your life.
We did some research, and here's what we found!
1. It improves digestion
Miso is fermented and contains probiotics. This can support gut health and digestion.
2. It reduces bloating
The low FODMAP nature, can lower bloating in the stomach. This can especially help for those switching from dairy, bread or sugary breakfasts.
3. It increases energy and focus
Miso is light and nourishing, without spiking up one's blood sugar. This ensures a more stable energy release.
4. It helps with hydration
It's a hot broth, so you start your day hydrated, which is important after a night of sleep.
5. It reduces craving
Having something savory and wholesome helps with junk food cravings later in the day.
6. It watches your weight
It's a low calorie and nutrient-dense meal, which can help with weight goals, without depriving one's self.
7. It uplifts mood
A warm bowl of soup in the morning can be calming or meditative, before the day begins.
However...
It can give negative effects, if you do not watch out for sodium (salt), iodine (seaweed) and overall nutrients. So, be sure that you're preparing it mindfully.
To make it healthier, try adding tofu, wakame, mushrooms, scallions, egg or even rice.
