1. Helps to release and absorb essential micronutrients in the body.

Not only does your bone broth release essential micronutrients, it also makes it easier to absorb essential micronutrients such as magnesium, calcium phosphorus, sulphuric and phosphorus, vitamin D, potassium, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, iron, as well as vitamin A, K, C, & B. Bone broth is rich in minerals that support our digestive health, joint bone and skin health such as collagen, glutamine, proline. How amazing is it that we can get all the nutrients in one cup? Imagine then what would happen when we implement this routine into our lives daily?

2. Promotes Joint Health

As we age, our joints wear and tear down. Specifically, the cartilage often wears down which puts added stress and strain on our joints causing pain, inflammation stiffness and limited range of motion and may even cause arthritis. Cartilage is made up of types I & II collagen this is important for specific types of cartilage in our body which help to keep our bones and joints healthy. For example, hyaline cartilage AKA articular cartilage is composed of type II cartilage which is smooth in consistency and transparent. Its' role is to coat the end of the bones and therefore reduces friction in the joints. Fibrocartilage again is composed of type I & II cartilliage acts as a cushioning to our joints As it happens, bone broth has high levels of collegen and therefore helps to nourish your joints and keeps them healthy.

3. Promotes healthy ageing of skin hair and nails

When it comes to our skin, many of us want to age youthfully yet our nails become more brittle and skin begins to become harder to maintain. Dry lifeless hair, brittle nails and visibly aging skin, can be a result of lack of nutrients in our eating plan. As cliche as it sounds, beauty really is, skin deep. The body uses vitamins, minerals, and compounds such as collagen to keep our hair, skin, and nails looking their best. Definitely worth putting down the moisturising cream and Botox for a second and analyse what exactly is going into our body. The answer maybe, to bring those nutrients with excellent food and beverage choices such as bone broth. Bone broth is absolutely jammed packed with nutrients essential for your skins health. It's an excellent way to bring collagen, protein, magnesium, calcium. Glycine, proline, glycoalminoglycans into your body. Collagen is the most abdundant protein in the body and is described as the glue that holds everything together, as well as keeping it firm and flexible. Collegen is made up of a group of proteins (AKA peptides) made of of amino acids glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and arginine. It helps your skin hair and nail cells renew and repair and keeps skin younger, smooth and elastic. Might be worth adding a cuppa bone broth every morning to make you feel and look great!

4. Helps to heal the gut

You may be shocked to discover that a massive 70% of the population has problems with thier gut health of various descriptions like SIBO, IBS, and Crohn's Disease. Don’t get me wrong, bone broth cannot be counted on as the only gut healer, especially if you’re band aiding it from poor food choices. Of course, we absolutely must consider a wholesome approach to gut health, although bone broth, certainly does help. How exactly does bone broth help to heal the gut? Here comes in the role of gelatin. Gelatin is essentially cooked collagen, naturally found in high amounts in bone broth and is primarily made up of the amino acids glycine and proline. When you consume Gelatin, it helps to seal any holes in the gut and lines the gut, protecting it against further injury. Gelatin also helps to reduce leaky gut and therefore inflammation in your body. An inflamed leaky gut creates holes in the gut which allow partially digested foods to enter. Our body can mistake these foods for harmful invaders and the body starts attacking it, but not just it. The body attacks itself and over time this has the potential to cause autoimmune disease. Good job that Gelatin has been shown to reduce pro inflammatory markers. Aside from that, gelatin keeps swinging those punches as our digestive health because it aids gastric acid production which allows us to break down food properly. If consumed foods are not broken down effectively in our body, bacteria will feed off it and it's nasty by product is unwanted gas causing inflammation which leads to heartburn symptoms.

Interestingly, gelatin acts as a mucas layer and helps to build new tissue in the villi, which are the small projections throughout the intestines. The villi increase the surface area of the gut so that nutrients that come on board, can be absorbed better.

5. It's cost effective and reduces food waste.

There's something to be said about the way our cooking used to be, back in the day. Our grandmas and grandfathers and even further back in our ancestry probably cooked this in their day very often, especially during war times and during the great depression when there were real food shortages. They couldn’t afford to let anything go waste (we probably could learn a thing or two from that) they put everything in a big cooking pot and viola this magic medicine was born. Once you consume it it actually is quite filling. Therefore helps to curb and urges to binge or stuff ourselves if we feel ravenous.
