<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Bone broth</strong> is considered to be <em>nature’s multivitamin</em>, it contains <em>19 essential and non-essential amino acids</em> which are easily absorbed by our body, it is a great source of collagen a protein that is abundant in the human body responsible for connective tissue formation and bone broth has nutrients that aid the digestive process, boost immunity and improves brain health.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">My number 1 comfort food is chicken soup (broth), I remember my mom and my grandma always prepare this soup every time someone in the family becomes ill especially flu and colds, so I’ve always known this as a very effective homely remedy. But little did I know then that this actually has scientific proof.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Studies (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/11035691/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1</a>) showed that chicken soup (broth) is an effective remedy for <em>upper respiratory tract infection</em> due to its ability to <strong>reduce inflammation.</strong></span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I found this very interesting video on youtube which presented a yummy chicken soup recipe but what is so interesting about this is that it also discusses the scientific proof of how chicken soup helps with common colds.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">All <strong>bone broth</strong> be it <em>chicken</em>, <em>beef</em> (my second favorite), <em>fish</em> and many more have long been used in almost all cultures. The process of simmering causes bones and ligaments to <strong>release powerful healing compounds</strong> such as <em>glutamine</em>, <em>collagen</em>, <em>glycine</em>, and <em>proline</em>.</span></p>

<h1 class="p1"><span class="s1">Here are some Benefits of Bone Broth</span></h1>
&nbsp;
<h2 class="p1"><span class="s2">1. Supports Healthy Immune System Function</span></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">Bone broth helps in developing a healthy inflammatory response and in building a normal immune system function.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">One remarkable benefit of bone broth is it improves intestinal permeability. A leaky gut is a danger sign for autoimmune disorders. Because of poor diet, chronic stress and constant exposure to toxins we may experience a leaky gut. Absorption of digested nutrients happen in the intestines (gut) a leaky gut happens when particles that should not have entered the bloodstream managed to make their way through.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">This may send signals to the body causing some autoimmune reactions. You can learn more about the pathology of a leaky gut <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5440529/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2"><strong>Bone broth</strong> helps in <strong>restoring gut health</strong>, it <strong>strengthens gut lining and tissue integrity</strong>.</span></p>
&nbsp;
<h2 class="p1"><span class="s2">2. Boost Detoxification</span></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">Today we are constantly exposed to different environmental toxins that cause us a varying degree of health risks.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">Bone broth <strong>contains minerals and amino acids</strong> like <em>potassium</em> and <em>glycine</em> which support <em>cellular detoxification</em>. It helps the digestive system in eliminating waste products and promotes liver health.</span></p>

<h2 class="p1"><span class="s2">3. Protects joint</span></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">Bone broth is a great source of natural collagen. As we age our joints become weaker and the cushion in between bones becomes thinner.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">A valuable component of bone broth is gelatin a type of protein derived from the breaking down process of collagen. Gelatin is a building block essential for maintaining a strong bone, bone mineral density and it makes up that soft cushion in between our joints.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">A study (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18416885" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2</a>) was done on the use of collagen as a <strong>dietary supplement</strong> in athletes with <strong>activity-related joint pain</strong>. The results suggest that athletes consuming collagen hydrolysate can reduce parameters (such as pain) that have a negative impact on athletic performance.</span></p>

<h2></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><span class="s2">4. Maintains Healthy Skin</span></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2"><strong>Collagen</strong> is responsible for <em>skin elasticity</em> and <em>connective tissue health</em>.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">The body’s ability to naturally produce collagen declines as we age. Other factors such as <em>stress</em>, <em>poor diet, </em>and <em>gut health</em> also influence the health of our skin.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">Bone broth is a great way to supplement collagen. According to studies (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24401291" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3</a>), supplemental collagen improves the body’s ability to produce collagen and dietary consumption of food supplements has been found to modulate skin functions and can, therefore, be useful in the treatment of skin aging.</span></p>

<h2></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><span class="s2">Final Thoughts</span></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2"><strong>Bone broth</strong> is a great source of valuable amino acids, collagen, gelatin and minerals that has holistic benefits to our body. It helps in strengthening our immune system, improves gut health, a great way to detoxify the body and helps in maintaining a healthy looking skin.</span></p>
