Chicken Noodle soup when you're sick??


Question: It seem's when you have a cold, eating chicken noodle soup makes you feel better, and sometimes heals you. what's the chemistry behind this?
Answers: Grandma was right. Chicken soup does make you feel better. Although there’s no cure for a cold – yet – most doctors agree with what grandmothers and mothers have been telling us for generations – old fashioned chicken soup has therapeutic benefits.

It’s spirit-lifting, cold-soothing natural medicine, straight from the kitchen. Chicken soup was first prescribed as a cold remedy way back in the 12th century. Its therapeutic properties have been studied by a host of medical experts in recent decades. Findings vary.

Some say the steam is the real benefit. Sipping the hot soup and breathing in the steam helps clear up congestion.Others suggest the soup contains agents similar to those found in over-the-counter cold medicines. Spices such as garlic and pepper, which are often added to the soup, work to thin mucus and make breathing easier.
