Read about bone broth benefits with @stephcolefitness below ・・・ Today was a bit brisk up here in DC. Between the cold weather, falling leaves, and shorter days, it felt like a good time to make some chicken soup. . I sautéed up some carrots, onions, and celery in olive oil, shredded up 8oz of cooked chicken, then added one bag of @osso_good_bones chicken bone broth. Threw in some spices to taste and let it all simmer for about an hour. Voila! Comfort food :) . . What are the benefits of bone broth, you may ask? Why use that instead of canned chicken stock? Let me tell you all about this superfood. . I mainly utilize it to improve gut health. Typical American diets are full of the things that irritate our gut lining (too much sugar, preservatives, processed grains, etc) and many of us are walking around with leaky gut syndrome. This can present itself in the form of food intolerances, bloating, a suppressed immune system, and bowel issues, among others. The natural gelatin in bone broth helps seal the gut lining and return gut function to normal. . . Bone broth also contains glucosamine, which I'm sure you've heard about before, and chondroitin sulfate. Both of these help heal and support joint health (I'm talking to you, squatters with painful knees). . Collagen and minerals in bone broth rejuvenate skin and promote elasticity. They make your skin look younger, brighter, and healthier, from the inside out. . Magnesium, glycine, phosphorous, calcium -- it's a natural source for all of them. They will help you sleep more soundly at night, boost your immune system, and strengthen your bones. . . While you can just sip on bone broth, too, I like to sneak it into soups and such for my kids. They slurped their bowls clean and will sleep like rocks tonight, guaranteed. :)
