Betsy’s Battling the Bulge Tip:
All of the chopping and simmering in this recipe will help to relieve the stress. Vent, don’t lament, and just let it go. Soups are soothing to the soul and can provide warmth and comfort. Use this fuel from within to help make you thin! This recipe provides foods that heal and reduce stress. Milk not only contains vitamins B2 and B12, but it has been proven to help reduce stress due to the antioxidants which help destroy the free radicals associated with stress. Turkey contains an amino acid called L-Tryptophan. This amino acid triggers the release of serotonin, which is a feel-good brain chemical. This is the reason why many people who eat turkey feel relaxed, or even tired, after eating it. L-Tryptophan has a documented calming effect. However, don't eat it fried, or your body will be so busy digesting the fats that you will miss out on the benefit of this food!
