🦴 Bone Soup: A Simple Treasure for Your Bones and Body 🍲
In many Kenyan homes, bone soup (also known as supu ya mfupa) is more than just a meal—it's a tradition. From roadside kiosks to Sunday lunch tables, this humble dish holds hidden treasures for your health.
But did you know bone soup is a natural source of nutrients that support bone, joint, and gut health?
🌟 Health Benefits of Bone Soup:
✅ Rich in calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium – minerals that help strengthen your bones.
✅ Provides collagen and gelatin – for healthier joints, skin, and nails.
✅ Supports gut health – gelatin in the broth can soothe the digestive tract.
✅ Contains amino acids – like glycine and proline, which help your body repair and detoxify.
💡 Simple Tip:
Next time you're buying meat, ask for some bones too!
Boil them slowly with onions, garlic, a pinch of salt, and herbs for 2–3 hours—or longer—for a richer flavor and more nutrients.
🧓 For the Elderly, Children, and Recovery:
Bone soup is great for:
Seniors with weak bones or arthritis
Children during growth spurts
Anyone recovering from illness or surgery
🔥 Don’t throw away bones—boil them, sip them, heal with them.
