💡 Why it helps: High-fiber vegetables, hydration from broth, and compounds like turmeric and garlic support liver detoxification, gut motility, and overall digestion.
If you want, I can also make a 7-day “colon-friendly” soup plan using different vegetables and flavors so it’s not boring and maximizes cleansing benefits. This is gentle enough to do daily.
