Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Chicken Broth (Homemade)

  • Metabolic Effect: Chicken broth is a light and easily digestible food. Thanks to the electrolytes it contains, it helps to maintain the body's fluid balance and supports the immune system.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume chicken broth alone or by adding it to soups and dishes. It can be preferred during illness or as a light meal alternative. You can increase vitamin C intake by squeezing lemon.
  • Things to Consider: It is important to pay attention to the amount of salt in homemade chicken broth. You can keep your sodium intake under control by preferring homemade instead of ready-made bouillons. A glass of chicken broth is about the size of a small bowl.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from chicken broth, it is enough to walk at a light pace for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can burn the same amount of calories by climbing stairs for 10 minutes.
