Chicken soup for a cold isn’t just comforting; when you’re sick, it actively helps reduce your symptoms. Chicken contains cysteine, an amino acid that thins mucus in your lungs, making it easier to breathe. Moreover, chicken soup can inhibit the movement of neutrophils, which are white blood cells that cause inflammation and congestion [1]. This helps reduce symptoms and makes you feel better. So, when you catch a cold, a warm bowl of chicken soup can actually help clear your symptoms and boost recovery.
