Bone Broth Benefits (Health Benefits)

                    The benefits of bone broth are so numerous it is considered a super food.

Many nutritionists recommend bone broth for causes as varied as leaky gut syndrome, poor digestion, joint pain, dry skin, brittle hair and nails, auto-immune diseases, and even cancer. Most patients that drink bone broth see marked improvements in intestinal and overall health issues. Bone broth is also one of the three pillars of the Los Angeles Laker’s professional basketball official team diet. If it's good enough for professional sports teams, it's definitely good enough for everyone else!

Here's why you should be drinking bone broth:

1. Heal and seal your gut. According to Jill Grunewald, a holistic nutrition coach and founder of Healthful Elements, a cup a day works miracles for leaky gut syndrome but it's also good for protecting non-leaky guts. The gelatin in the bone broth (found in the knuckles, feet, and other joints) helps seal up holes in intestines. This helps cure chronic diarrhea, constipation, and even some food intolerances.

2. Protect your joints. Taking glucosamine supplements to help with joint pain has been common knowledge for years, but it turns out that bone broth has glucosamine too. But unlike pills, the broth also includes a host of other goodies that help keep your joints happy, healthy, and pain-free. The chondroitin sulfate in bone broth has been shown to help prevent osteoarthritis.

3. Look younger. Bone broth is a rich source of collagen. You can find collagen in all kinds of “plumping” products these days, but why stick it on the outside when you can drink it? Not only is drinking it cheaper, but it can make your skin, hair, and nails look just as radiant.

4. Sleep better, and feel better. The glycine in bone broth has been shown in several studies to help people sleep better and improve memory.

5. Immune support. Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint , actually calls bone broth a “superfood” thanks to the high concentration of minerals. He says that the bone marrow can help strengthen your immune system. (Something that won't surprise your grandma who always made you her famous soup when you got sick!) A Harvard study even showed that some people with auto-immune disorders experienced a relief of symptoms when drinking bone broth, with some achieving a complete remission.

6. Stronger bones. The phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium in the bones seeps out into the broth leaving you with the essential building blocks for healthy bones.

7. More energy. If you read accounts of bone broth, you’ll notice everyone swears by the energy boost.

Bone Broth – what is it?

As far as Hippocrates (460BC – 370BC) various cultures have revered bone broth for its very soothing and vast healing properties.

We’re told to eat soup when we’re sick but did you know the secret behind this soothing and healing natural food is actually the liquid broth? Bone broth is full of vitamins, minerals, protein, amino acids, collagen and glycine which are the building blocks that your body uses to repair itself.

“Pure Bone Broth” from Strawman Farm

is made on the farm in our own commercial kitchen by slowly simmering animal bones (such as Bison,  beef, chicken and fish and others special order's) in water over a period of time (anywhere from 36 to 72 hours or more). The result is a liquid broth that has immense nutritional value and is consumed as superfood known for its healing properties.

Bone broth is widely regarded as a healing food. It’s known to heal the skin, gut, GI tract, aid in digestion or help you beat that cold/flu you’ve been suffering from.

Because broth is an extract of connective tissue, it is great for ailments affecting, joints, bones, lungs, muscle and blood.

Incorporating bone broth into your established eating patterns can yield tremendous medicinal effects.



 
Bone Broth vs. Stock

Bone Broth is different from Stock because it has added seasonings and flavors (vs. stock having none) and bone broth is simmered longer than stock (up to 72 hours for bone broth vs several hours for stock).

Stock's are used as a base for soups and foods whereas bone broth is consumed as a superfood because the extra simmering time and added acid (usually apple cider vinegar) leaches minerals, collagen and gelatin from the bones into the broth.

 
Why Is Bone Broth Good For You?

Bone broth is good for you for many reasons- it is extremely rich in healing protein, and is a source of numerous minerals as well such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. Bone broth is also high in the amino acid glycine, which supports the body’s detoxification process and is used in the synthesis of hemoglobin and bile salts. glycine also supports digestion and the retention of digestive fluids- which is why it plays a critical role in the GAPS diet. proline, another amino acid found in bone broth, supports superior skin health- especially when paired synergistically with vitamin C.

Have you ever been told soup is good for a cold? The reason is because the liquid in soup (the liquid broth) inhibits neutrophil migration; which mitigates the side effects of colds, flus and upper respiratory infections. Bone broth is good for you and many recommend adding it to one’s daily diet.

Bone Broth Healing

Bone Broth is one of the most healing foods in any diet. The vitamins and minerals you get from the broken-down bones that have been cooked have powerful healing properties and bone broth is excellent for speeding healing and recovery from illness.

The healing effects of bone broth on your gut are very important because as of very recently medical scientists , have found that your overall health is very dependent on the health of your intestinal tract. Many of our modern diseases appear to be rooted from an unbalanced mix of microorganisms in our digestive systems, which happens due to too many people having an unbalanced diet too high in sugar content and too low in beneficial bacteria and healthful fats.

Bone broth is excellent for "healing and sealing" your gut, as said by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. Dr. Campbell's GAPS Nutritional Healing program, as mentioned in her book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS), centers around the concept of "healing and sealing" your gut through your diet.



 
The Healing Benefits of Bone Broth

Bone broth is of the most nutritious and healing foods there is- here is a partial list of some of it’s healing properties:

Helps heal and seal your intestinal tract lining which promotes healthy digestion
The gelatin found in bone broth attracts and retains liquids, including digestive liquids, which supports healthy digestion
Inhibits infection caused by colds and viruses
Reduces joint pain and inflammation from chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine from the boiled down cartilage and bare bones.
Combats inflammation- amino acids such as glycine, Proline, and arginine all have anti-inflammatory effects. arginine has been discovered to be predominantly beneficial for the treatment of sepsis (whole-body inflammation).
glycine has relaxing effects which can help you sleep better.
Encourages strong, healthy bones- bone broth contains high quantities of calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients that play an imperative role in healthy bone development.
Encourages healthy hair and nail growth, due to gelatin.
 
Bone Broth on DR OZ

Recently, Dr. Oz and his guest Esther Blum (registered dietician and holistic nutritionist) featured bone broth on his television show and heralded the benefits of how it can keep you energized throughout the day, ward off fatigue, act as a source of good hydration and help you sleep at night. Dr. Oz called his show “Beat Fatigue By Replacing Your Morning Coffee with Bone Broth” and Dr. Oz talked to people on the street asking them about how they felt bone broth affected them and most people said it gave them lots of energy.

Dr. Oz and Esther Blum recommend one to two cups a day of bone broth instead of your morning coffee and then later in the afternoon, around 2:30 p.m., have another cup.



 
Bone Broth Gut Health

A healthy gut is one of the prime factors of health.  When one’s gut and digestive system are healed and working as they should, one absorbs and digests nutrients properly.

When one’s intestinal lining becomes too damaged and permeable it lets undigested food and disease inducing bacteria to seep from one’s gut and into the bloodstream. This is called “Leaky Gut.” The body then begins to combat itself because it sees the food particles as potential invaders- which creates an autoimmune condition. Most food allergies, autoimmune diseases, asthma, skin conditions, eczema, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue and more are created by a leaky gut lining. Leaky gut bothers a huge percentage of the population and is getting worse because of bad food choices, increasing stress, toxins from the environment, overuse of pain killers, antibiotics, birth control and other medications.

Bone broth is great for gut health because it helps heal gut seepage. The gelatin and collagen in bone broth heals the lining of one’s digestive tract. The collagen in bone broth will help heal your gut’s lining and decrease inflammation in the intestines.
