Cold weather inspires cozying up with a hearty bowl of hot soup, but from wintertime and beyond, starting the recipe with bone broth boosts the nutrition in your soup of the day.
Savory, rich, and oh so satisfying—here’s quick healthy facts on bone broth and why this health fad is not only sticking around, but has actually been around as long as mankind can remember.
Known as a rich source of collagen, bone broth benefits our own bones, hair, nails, and skin, supporting a youthful appearance. Our bodies naturally contain collagen, but unfortunately the Modern Western diet full of sugar loaded drinks, processed meats, and refined grains potentially robs the body of this vital nutrient.
Even when eating a healthy, clean food diet, the aging process we all face causes natural collagen quality and production to slow, sometimes leaving the need to supplement this structural protein.
The collagen bone broth contains may help fight inflammation and benefit joint health for more flexibility, mobility, and resilience.
Soup soothes the soul, but so much more than that, hearty broth made with organic vegetables, flavorful herbs, and strong bones from grass fed animals may soothe the gut and support healthy digestion. Organic bone broth is often recommended while managing the condition referred to as leaky gut.
Providing nourishing hydration, sustained energy, and being low in calories, clean ingredient bone broth is weight loss friendly as it helps to ease hunger while offering satisfaction and great flavor.
How To Find A Good Bone Broth
Homemade broth is best. Wholesome homemade bone broth recipes are almost endless online. Basically you’ll start with organic vegetables like carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Also, lots of fresh herbs such as rosemary, sage, turmeric, black pepper, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, and pink salt. Then add organic/free-range bones from chicken, beef, lamb, turkey or other responsibly raised animals. The key is to simmer! Use the stovetop or a crockpot, and cook for a long period of time to extract the most collagen and flavor.
