Why people make this soup

High cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar — collectively called “san gao” or “the three highs” in Cantonese health culture — are among the most common lifestyle concerns in modern urban populations. Nourilo brings together three powerful ingredients in this soup: phyllanthus (yu gan zi, also known as Indian gooseberry or amla), famous in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its extraordinary vitamin C content and liver-protective properties; fresh burdock root, which research suggests may help lower blood sugar and cholesterol; and carrot, which adds sweetness and is rich in beta-carotene. Together with pork ribs for depth of flavour, this makes a delicious and protective family soup suitable for weekly rotation.
