American media POPSUGAR pointed out that if green cabbage and arugula are too monotonous, you can also add beans, basil, carrots, ginger, and zucchini to cook together. The ingredients can be changed according to personal taste and season to make your own slimming and detoxifying soup.

Vegetables contain dietary fiber to increase satiety and control calories

Nutritionist Cheng Hsin-yi from the Taiwan Cancer Foundation said that vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, low in calories and high in satiety. If you drink a bowl of vegetable soup before a meal, you can reduce the total calorie intake of that meal, which will naturally help control your weight. Moreover, dietary fiber can delay gastric emptying, making it less likely to feel hungry and keep looking for snacks.

Garlic, onion and black pepper enhance detoxification metabolism

In addition, dietary fiber can improve constipation, eliminate stool, increase good intestinal bacteria, and accelerate the excretion of waste and toxins from the body, which is what people call "detoxification."

In addition to cauliflower and arugula, this vegetable soup also adds garlic, onion and black pepper. Nutritionist Joyce Cheng said that the allicin in garlic can improve the body's metabolism and kill many viruses and bacteria; onions can promote blood circulation; and black pepper can also enhance the body's metabolism and circulation. Overall, this vegetable soup can indeed enhance the excretion of toxins and help with weight loss!
