Broth's unique combination of amino acids, minerals, and cartilage compounds aids in quick recovery from illness and surgery, the healing of pain and inflammation, emotional balance, better digestion, lessening of allergies, and treatment of many autoimmune disorders.
Seven Bone Broth Benefits
1. Heal your gut - According to Dr. Josh Axe, bone broth is one of the most healing foods you can consume, including popular chicken bone broth. Rich in nutrients like gelatin and glycine, it helps to protect and heal your gut lining, skin and digestive tract.
2.Look younger - The anti-aging effect of broth reported most is the improvement of skin, nails, and hair. Broth feeds the epidermis, dermis and underlying connective tissue layers of the skin from the inside out with collagen, elastin, and other nutrients it needs to plump out.
3.Sleep better - Glycine found in bone broth is a neurotransmitter that improves sleep and improves memory.
4.Boost your immune system - The amino acid arginine improves immune function and wound healing. A Harvard study even showed that some people with auto-immune disorders experienced relief of symptoms when drinking bone broth, with some achieving a complete remission.
5.Build strong bones - Gelatin provides bone-building minerals in easily absorbable ways, preventing bone loss and reducing joint pain.
6.Protect your joints - Proline found in bone broth regenerates cartilage and heals joints.
7.Simple and Economical - I find making bone broth eliminates a lot of food waste. I use up those chicken carcasses, soup bones and veggies going bad in my fridge.
