Chicken soup isn’t just good for the soul: There is a reason that your mother made it for you when you’re feeling under the weather. Bone broth or stock was a way our ancestors made use of every part of an animal. Stuff like, bones and marrow, skin and feet, tendons and ligaments that you can’t eat directly. These items are boiled and then simmered over a period of days. This simmering causes the bones and ligaments to release healing compounds like collagen, proline, glycine,
Bone broth should be called “nature’s multivitamin because it’s packed with:
- Over 19 easy-to-absorb, essential and non-essential amino acids (the building blocks of proteins, and therefore the building blocks of your body!)
- Collagen/gelatin, which
helps form connective tissue - nutrients that support digestive functions, immunity and brain health
Did you get that? Bone broth benefits literally every part of your body, from your gut to your brain, from your muscles to your ligaments.
