Why bone broth is one of the healthiest superfoods…
Benefits of bone broth and home made gravy. You can't beat the taste and nutritional value of making your own gravy.
Using the bones from your organic free range chicken or organic grass fed meat bones make for a rich broth base for your soup stock or gravy.
💃Shop bought gravy and stock is generally high in salt, sugar and artificial ingredients. Bone broth is rich in minerals that support the immune system, tonic for the blood, supports adrenal and kidney function, beneficial for muscles and joints, increases energy etc...
😊The healing compounds include collagen which is great for the skin, nails, hair and healing the gut lining, the amino acid glutamine is superb for the joints, it is said to be beneficial in healing leaky gut and improving IBS by helping reduce intestinal inflammation, balancing mucus production which results in healthy bowel movement.
💪It has the ability to promote muscle growth and repair, improve metabolism and cellular detoxification, it is also reported to help with memory, focus and concentration. Glycine is another amino acid which again has anti-inflammatory properties which is said to affect certain neuropeptides in the hippocampus, which in turn helps to regulate the circadian rhythm, helping to improve REM sleep and decrease non-REM sleep which results in a better quality sleep, therefore prompting improvements with fatigue, clear headedness and concentration.
🧠It has been reported that glycine has a positive affect with neurotransmitters for mental health conditions. In a study done with rats who had alcohol poisoning glycine was able to reduce the accumulation of cholesterol, free fatty acids and triglycerides in the blood circulation, liver and brain, which decreased the swelling in the brain.
🩻Glycine has protective qualities in relation to conditions like arthritis, and other illness that affect the bones, muscles and joints. With its oestrogen like bone protective effects it has the potential to help at the time of the menaupause.
♥️There are also positive effects on your heart too as it is reported to help with lowering your blood pressure. Bone broth also has calcium, phosphorus, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, magnesium, silicon and the addition of other trace minerals in it, and of course the vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and herbs you use.
🐓I use organic grass fed lamb, beef or organic free range chicken bones.
