Bone Broth is a type of stock that is produced by boiling bones and other flavors. Bone Broth is simmered for long periods, in hope that vitamins, proteins, and gelatin from the collagen-rich joints release minerals and healing agents.
Your grandparents most likely cooked Bone Broth. Where do you think the thought of eating chicken noodle soup when you are ill came from? You can't possibly think the sodium-filled, gluten, hormone filled, canned chicken noodle soup is good for you? :)
Special emphasis on the preparation of the whole animal including using bones for making broths is well known across the globe. Both Broths are extraordinary rich in protein and can be a great source of minerals. All of these healing agents are great for our bodies. Some think these agents are worth the gross factor. The Glycine that is released from the animal bones support digestion and the secretion of gastric acids. The bones also contain Proline, which supports good skin health. Bone Broths also contain Gelatin which is great for skin and digestive health. This can play a huge role in autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders.
In my personal experience, Bone Broth has healed leaky gut syndrome that is caused by Celiac Disease. Bone Broth is also great for:
- Overcoming food intolerances and allergies
- Improving joint health
- Reducing cellulite
- Boosting immune system
Multiple studies have shown how Bone Broth is great for restoring the gut lining and fighting food sensitives (such as wheat, dairy, etc.), also aiding in the growth of probiotics and good bacteria in the gut! Another great factor of this healing agent is it supports healthy inflammation levels in the digestive tract! Bone Broth is easily digested and soothing for the tummy.
If making Bone Broth homemade, it is super economical! I would recommend ensuring the bones are from local farms that place an importance on the animals being grass-fed and hormone-free. Some local food stores like Dierbergs even sell bone broth pre-made and is a great easy option for illness! Bone Broth can be stored in the fridge for no longer than a week. You can also freeze in the freezer and keep it up to 6 months. It is advised that Bone Broth only be warmed up on the stove top, as putting it in the microwave could risk killing the healing agents that are alive and help keep you well! The simmering of the bones and ligaments allow healing compounds to release like collagen, proline, glycine, and glutamine that have the power to heal and transform your body.
Store bought stock and broth are not real. They are lab-produced meat flavors in bouillon cubes, soups, and sauces. Manufacturers also began to use MSG as a meat flavor but is actually a neurotoxin. So next time you go to use a fake meat flavor, consider Bone Broth which also happens to be packed with healing components! Bone Broth also contains potassium and glycine, which supports both cellular and liver detoxification, so no more green tea detox scams!
What do you think? Gross, No way! YES, Totally Worth it!
