So is there something to this sudden soup craze? Is souping more beneficial than juicing? The biggest advantage of souping over juicing is that juicing vegetables removes all of the fiber, which has many benefits including making you feel fuller and helping to regulate glucose levels—two major issues when you’re cleansing. Juices, fruit in particular, also tend to have a much higher sugar content.
Soups are heartier, contain a wider variety of nutrients and don’t leave you feeling nearly as deprived as juices. Some people imagine that cleansing means ingesting only liquid so you can clear all of the toxins and build-up out of your digestive system so you can start with a clean slate. Most nutritionists agree that, unless you have some kind of health issue, your body has an excellent cleansing, filtering system of its own and doesn’t need to be ‘flushed’. A juice cleanse can be very helpful for kickstarting a healthy diet plan or helping to ween yourself off of processed foods. Souping provides the same benefits without forcing your body into starvation mode.
