Bone Broth Health Benefits

Bone broth is made by boiling down animal bones and connective tissue in water and vinegar. This broth is rich in minerals, vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids – those important ingredients for a strong, healthy body.⁣

Science has shown that the health of our intestinal tract or gut is a crucial key to our overall health and wellness, and bone broth can be a big help. It can heal or prevent a “leaky gut” (when the barrier of your gut & bloodstream is impaired) and help move food along the digestive tract. 💩⁣

The amino acids in bone broth have anti-inflammatory benefits which can help fight chronic inflammation, which may protect against many diseases. They also support joint health because they contain glucosamine and chondroitin, reducing pain and lessening symptoms of osteoarthritis.⁣
⁣
Glycine, another amino acid found in bone broth, has been found to promote sleep, improve quality of sleep, mental function and memory. It’s also rich in collagen, something we certainly need more of as we age for firm, supple, beautiful skin.⁣

If you’re shopping for bone broth online or at the store, always look for grass fed, gluten free with no added sugar products. ⁣Here a 3 of my favorite brands of concentrated Bone Broth from Amazon: ONE, TWO, THREE.

For those who are eager to make their own (and save money!) I’ve got a recipe for you HERE that utilizes the Instant Pot or slow cooker.
