The Benefits of Bone Broth + DIY Recipe


There's an unlikely beverage that's taking the country by storm! It's the latest trend and apparently you need to know about it: the drink that everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Kobe Bryant is talking about. Bone broth is gaining popularity quickly because people know that it tastes amazing and keeps them healthy. And with age-defying, weight-shedding, gut-healing benefits, you may want to jump on the band wagon.

Here are a few key ingredients that make bone broth so nutritious:

  • Collagen. This structural protein builds strong skin, protecting against aging and wrinkling. While expensive collagen skin creams work temporarily, dietary collagen is far more potent because it mainlines collagen to your cells.
  • The gelatin derived from collagen heals your digestive tract, helping to prevent inflammation. It literally “heals and seals” your gut, promoting healthy digestion.
  • Glycine. Your body is bombarded all day long with toxins that age you. Glycine helps your liver get these toxins out of your body, re-energizing and de-aging your cells.
  • Minerals including calcium, silicon, phosphorus, and magnesium. Bone broth is a fabulous source of these anti-aging minerals, and its chemical composition makes them highly absorbable.
  • Glycosaminoglycans, including glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. These nutrients keep your joints lubricated & flexible.
  • Iodine. Bone broth is rich in this nutrient, which protects against a sluggish thyroid — a major cause of weight gain, thinning hair, and energy loss.

Consider this: Bone broth is one of the oldest healing and anti-aging foods on the planet. So if current science and hundreds of generations of healers say that bone broth works … isn't it worth a try?

How to make it:


Ingredients:

- One whole ,Organic Free- Range Chicken (2 to 3 pounds) You can also use high-quality bones or frozen leftover bones. You can use beef, lamb, chicken, or turkey bones.
- 4 quarts filtered Water
- 3 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 large white Onion, chopped
- 3 Carrots, chopped
- 4 stalks Celery, chopped
- 4 Garlic Cloves, whole
- 1 bunch Parsley
- 1 sprig Rosemary

Directions:

1. Fill up a large pot with filtered water.
2. Add vinegar, garlic, rosemary and all vegetables except parsley.
3. Place the whole chicken in the pot, bring to a boil.
4. Reduce to low heat & simmer
5. Let simmer for at least 8 hours.
6. Add the parsley 10 minutes before finishing the stock.
7. Strain through a fine, mesh strainer to remove fragments. You can use the veggies & chicken for another dish or keep them, but make sure all of the bone fragments are removed.
8. Transfer the broth to large mason jars for keeping in the fridge, leaving an inch of space from the top of the jar. If freezing, leave at least 2 inches of space.


Drink at least one cup of bone broth per day, adding fresh veggies, herbs & spices as you desire!
