BEAUTIFUL Bone Broth… It’s something that you may have heard mentioned recently in the health news or from friends who are making it and drinking it. It is known for it’s benefits in healing the gut and helping your whole body thrive by providing over 19 easy-to-absorb, essential and non-essential amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), collagen/gelatin, which help form connective tissue  and nutrients that support digestive functions, immunity and brain health
Did you read that? Bone broth supports every part of your body, from your belly to your brain, from your muscles to your ligaments. It’s some serious stuff.

Nutrition researchers Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price Foundation explain that bone broths contain minerals in forms that your body can easily absorb: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and others. They contain chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, the compounds sold as pricey supplements to reduce inflammation, arthritis and joint pain.

So instead of spending money on pricey supplements, all you need to do is cook up a batch of bone broth. Our grandmothers knew the wisdom and value in bone broths. They made a batch at the first sign of a cold or sickness. It’s traditional wisdom that has been lost to the commercialization of our food. Today big companies want us to buy their product. They have convinced people that they can’t make it on their own. The message is that it’s too hard, takes too long and won’t be as good as what you can buy in the store. Well, let me tell you- that is ALL A LIE! Bone broth is one of easiest, inexpensive and quickest healing food that you can make. You can make up a batch in your crock pot and then freeze it for later use or keep it in the fridge to use in making a multitude of healthy foods.

How do I use bone broth?

I use bone broth several ways to support my family with optimal health. The simplest way I use it is to just drink it. A cup a day supports the gut and digestive system with healing gelatin that helps to heal inflammation of the digestive tract and leak gut. It’s also super easy to digest and full of nutrients that you body can absorb easily. Drinking bone broth is one of the best ways to help heal your gut lining.

I also cook my vegetables in bone broth. I slice up my veggies and add a bit of bone broth to the pan. This adds healthy vitamins and minerals to my veggie dishes and gets some extra oomph into my family.

Cooking rice, quinoa and or grains is another way to use bone broth. After soaking my rice or quinoa overnight, I replace the liquid that I would have normally used with bone broth. It makes the rice and quinoa taste full of flavor and adds healthy fats, minerals and electrolytes to help keep my family healthy and feeling satiated.

Healthy fat is crucial to a healthy body and brain. And, fat is what keeps you feeling full and satiated so that you are NOT hungry again soon after you eat. It’s long burning fuel to keep you going without the crash that comes with processed over-sugared foods on the market.

So how easy is it to make? Check out my video below. It’s less than 2 minutes to watch. Soon you will be making bone broth in your own kitchen too.
