Bone broth has uncountable benefits. Let me name a few real quick:
- It heals and restores the lining of the GI tract
- Promotes strong, healthy bones
- Aids brain function and mental health disorders
- Weight loss and maintenance
- Joint pain and inflammation
- Boosts the immune system (there’s a reason why bone broth is so good when you’re sick!).
- Strengthens hair, skin, and nails
What nutrients give all those benefits?
- It supplies you with a large amount of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, silicone and potassium.
- It is one of the only food sources that has collagen and gelatin, an essential part of our structure, joints, digestive tract, hair, skin, nails, eyes, and more.
- It has the amino acids glutamine, glycine, and proline which give anti-inflammatory affects.
- It has chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine which also have anti-inflammatory affects and reduce joint pain.
Does quality matter and where can you buy it?
Bone broth is truly a superfood. Quality does matter! Make sure that your bone broth is from pasture-raised/grass-fed animals. You can also home-make your bone broth as a much cheaper option. Otherwise, it can be found at local health food stores such as Sprouts, Whole Foods, or Natural Grocers.
