What are the benefits of bone broth?
I have an entire article teaching about the amazing benefits of bone broth and how to make it! It is so easy and inexpensive to make from home. Not to mention the quality is going to be far better than what you can buy from the store. I substitute bone broth for water in all my soup recipes because bone broth is just packed with an enormous amount of nutrients. Below are some of the amazing benefits of bone broth!
- Minerals and components within bone broth are important for cellular function. They aid in the remineralization of our own skeletal system, especially as we age. Not only is this important as we age, but also as we are developing.
- Collagen is a component of bone broth. Collagen is connective; therefore, it helps strengthen your hair, nails, skin, tissues, and pelvic floor.
- Collagen aids in the proper growth and development of a baby while in utero and as a young child growing and developing.
- Bone broth stimulates the immune and protective response in our body to fight against foreign material! How cool is that – it is literally fuel for our immune system’s response. (source)
- Bone broth contains gelatin which helps repair the gut lining. In some cases, this can help those with food sensitivities related to leaky gut.
- Bone broth contains potassium and glycine which aid the liver in detoxification.
- Bone broth contains arginine, glycine, and glutamine which promote a well-functioning metabolism.
