Bone broth or stock is an old traditional way our ancestors made to use of every part of an animal. Bones and marrow, skin and feet, tendons and ligaments that you can’t eat directly can be boiled and then simmered over a period of days. This simmering causes the bones and ligaments to release healing compounds like collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine that have the power to transform your health. Incorporating bone broth into your daily diet can benefit not only your joints but your general health and well being as well. A fresh, hot cup of bone broth is a great start to a cold day, can also act as a a refreshing, nutritious snack during the afternoon. It can be used a side dish, as a soup and in gravies and lift the attractions for your guest and colleagues in yopur servings.
Bone Broth Benefits for Strong Bones, Joint Pain and Better Health
As we grow older, our joints naturally experience wear and tear, and we become less flexible. It may be due to age-related degradation of joint cartilage. Bone broth is one of world’s best sources of natural collagen, the protein found in vertebrae animals in their bones, skin, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bone marrow. As bone broth simmers, collagen from the animal parts leaches into the broth and becomes readily absorbable to help restore cartilage. The chondroitin sulfate in bone broth has been shown to help prevent osteoarthritis.
Makes Bones Stronger
One of the most valuable components of bone broth is gelatin, which acts like a soft cushion between bones that helps them “glide” without friction. Gelatin also provides us with building blocks that are needed to form and maintain strong bones, helping take pressure off of aging joints and supporting heathy bone mineral density. The phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium in the bones seeps out into the broth leaving you with the essential building blocks for healthy bones.
Boosts Immunity
Amino acids in bone broth, like arginine, glutamine, and cysteine, have been shown to boost immunity in humans and animals.
Prevents Common Cold And Bronchitis
Researches suggest to drink chicken soup during cold and flu season. Bone broth gives aid in alleviating symptoms of the common cold, by clearing mucus, opening respiratory pathways, and providing easily digested nutrition. Chicken soup naturally contains the amino acid cysteine, which chemically resembles the bronchitis drug acetylcysteine.
Gives Disease Resistance
When your metabolism is operating at maximum efficiency, your immune system will also be strengthened. A strong immune system resists infection and disease, and can also contribute towards better vitality and wellbeing through an increase in energy levels, improved mood, and many more.
Improves Hydration
Bone broth, especially when it’s made from vegetables, adds electrolytes (minerals) and carbohydrates (from vegetables) to the diet. Studies have shown that drinking broth can rehydrate better than water alone due to the electrolytes.
Heal Your Gut
The gelatin in the bone broth (found in the knuckles, feet, and other joints) helps seal up holes in intestines. This helps cure chronic diarrhea, constipation, and even some food intolerance.
