DID YOU KNOW?
Many of our modern diseases appear to be rooted in an
unbalanced mix of microorganisms in your digestive system, courtesy of an
inappropriate and unbalanced diet that is too high in sugars and too low in
healthful fats and beneficial bacteria.
For thousands of years, there have been traditional foods
like fermented vegetables and cultured dairy that have been touted for their
health benefits. But one common healing food that is now being recognized for
its incredible health benefits is bone broth.
BUT WHY?
Bone broth is excellent for "healing and sealing"
your gut, to use Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride term. Dr. Campbell's GAPS
Nutritional Protocol, described in her book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome(GAPS), centers around the concept of "healing and sealing" your gut
through your diet.
Nutrition researchers Sally Fallon and Kaayla Daniel of the
Weston A. Price Foundation explain that bone broths contain minerals in forms
that your body can easily absorb: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon,
sulphur and others. Just one of it’s added benefits is the fact it contains chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, a supplements
to reduce inflammation, arthritis and joint pain.
FACT:
Broth or "stock" plays an important role as it's
easily digestible, helps heal the lining of your gut, and contains valuable
nutrients. Abnormalities in your immune system are a common outcome of GAPS,
and such immune abnormalities can then allow for the development of virtually
any degenerative disease.
The Healing Benefits of Bone Broth
There are many reasons for incorporating good-old-fashioned
bone broth into your diet. The
following health benefits attest to its status as "good medicine."
- Helps heal and seal your gut, and promotes healthy digestion: The gelatin found in bone broth is a hydrophilic colloid. It attracts and holds liquids, including digestive juices, thereby supporting proper digestion.
|
Inhibits infection caused by cold and flu
viruses, etc.: A study published over a decade ago found that chicken soup
indeed has medicinal qualities, significantly mitigating infection
|
- Reduces joint pain and inflammation, courtesy of chondroitin sulphates, glucosamine, and other compounds extracted from the boiled down cartilage
- Fights inflammation: Amino acids such as glycine, proline, and arginine all have anti-inflammatory effects. Arginine, for example, has been found to be particularly beneficial for the treatment of sepsis (whole-body inflammation). In addition, Glycine also has calming effects, which may help you sleep better.

Promotes strong, healthy bones: As mentioned above,
bone broth contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium and other nutrients that play an important role in healthy
bone formation

Promotes healthy hair and nail growth, thanks to
the gelatin in the broth
