Boost Your Immune System

 Amino acids found in bone broth, such as arginine, L-glutamine and cysteine, have been shown to contribute to anti-inflammatory benefits and immune function in humans. Crave chicken soup when you’re sick? It’s more than just comfort food; chicken broth helps to relieve symptoms of the common cold by clearing mucus, opening respiratory pathways, and providing easily digestible nutrition when your body needs it most.

 

Improve Gut Health

Drinking bone broth everyday can help treat leaky gut and other digestive disorders that can impact your overall physical and mental health. The gelatin in bone broth is effective at repairing holes that lead to stomach upset, food intolerances, constipation and bloating. Anti-inflammatory benefits from amino acids such as L-glutamine have been observed as yet another positive contributor to gut health.

 

Glow From the Inside Out

Bone broth is a potent source of collagen and other key nutrients and minerals such as glycine, proline, glucosamine, calcium, potassium, and more. What’s it all mean? That bone broth contains many essentials in the maintenance of youthful skin as well as healthy joints, bones, organs, muscles, and teeth. 

   

Mood Control 

Your diet influences your gut bacteria, which, in turn, influences your brain. Your gut bacteria or microbiome influences how the brain is wired from infancy to adulthood, along with moods, memory, the ability to learn, and how to deal with stress. When the gut microbiome is healthy, it sends happy signals to the brain; when it’s unhealthy, it can send signals of anxiety. 

Because of this signaling, neuroscientists are starting to investigate how to manage gut bacteria to treat mood and stress-related disorders. Gelatin and nutrient-rich foods such as bone broth have been shown to help repair and heal degenerative and inflammatory conditions that negatively impact gut health.

 

Get Rested, Think Straight 

Glycine, an amino acid found in bone broth, has been shown to improve sleep quality and improve cognitive function.  

  

Get Hydrated 

Filled with minerals and electrolytes, bone broth can actually hydrate your body better than water … a great way to rehydrate post exercise. 

 

Weight Control 

Studies have shown that consuming bone broth with meals can lead to lowered caloric intake, which is beneficial to a weight-conscious diet. Additionally, obesity has been linked to an imbalance of gut bacteria … an issue that bone broth can help reduce.
