- Gut repair
- The gelatine in bone broth appears
to protect and heal our digestive
tract lining that helps support proper
nutrient digestion. - Eating bone broth may even prevent
heartburn. Heartburn occurs when
partially digested food sits in the
stomach too long due to stomach
acid deficiency. - Bone broth also contains glycine,
which helps prevent heartburn by
stimulating production of stomach
acid, which ensures food is efficiently
digested and its nutrients absorbed.
- Reduce joint pain
and inflammation
- The glucosamine content found in
bone broth helps stimulate growth
of new collagen. This new collagen
assists in joint repair and helps
reduce inflammation and pain.
- Promotes bone health
- High amounts of calcium,
magnesium, and other nutrients
in bone broth display bone-
strengthening properties. Calcium
and magnesium both improve bone
density, a factor that helps prevent
common and age-related bone
diseases such as osteoporosis.
- Look younger
- Collagen is the main component of
connective tissue and commonly
found in the skin and bones – aging
naturally causes collagen deficiency.
Bone broth can help act as your
collagen supplement, providing
structure to the skin.- It is also the major component of hair
and is known to prevent hair loss by
increasing blood circulation.
- Better sleep
- The glycine in bone broth is known
to improve sleep and even memory
in people via vasodilation – the
widening of the blood vessels. This
allows blood, the primary transporter
of nutrients and oxygen to the brain,
to pass easily. - Exogenous glycine promotes sleep
via peripheral vasodilatation through
the activation of NMDA receptors in
the SCN shell. - Coincidentally, glycine is also a
known inhibitory neurotransmitter,
which makes it easier to put the body
in a relaxed state.
- Boosts immune system
- Bone broth served as chicken soup
has been shown to exhibit anti-
inflammatory properties which result
in a reduction of certain infections.
Another study noted its protective
effects against influenza and colds. - This data is consistent with the
hypothesis that natural products,
such as chicken soup and chicken
breast extracts rich in carnosine
and its derivative anserine, could
contribute to the pathogenesis
and prevention of influenza virus
infections and colds.
7. Natural and practical- Homemade bone broth can save
you money due to its relatively
cost-effective ingredients and
preparations. Making your own
bone broth will ensure it doesn’t
contain any artificial ingredients,
unlike its commercially
available counterparts.
8. Easy to make healthier
- The main ingredients in bone broth
are bones and water. Because of the
simple nature of its recipe, adding
other ingredients to make it tastier
and healthier won’t pose a threat to
the overall quality of the soup.
9. Detoxification
- The glycine content in bone broth
assists the body’s detoxification
process by helping the liver remove
toxins in the body.
- These results indicate that a
glycine-containing diet expedites
the process of recovery from
ethanol-induced liver injury and
may lead to its clinical application in
alcoholic hepatitis.
10. Wound healing
- Arginine and glutamine are familiar
amino acids to bodybuilders, as
these are known as ‘recovery’
supplements. More than their
athletic function, these two amino
acids are also known to support
collagen formation, which helps
increase wound healing rate.
