Bone Broth

Chicken

Almost everyone in their life has come across bone broth at some point, but perhaps not realizing what an amazing tool it is for us to use in our daily life for nutrition and health.

An ancient food source used by elders for its medicinal and fortifying properties, and by top chefs to infuse their food with rich nutritious flavours. Today, we prepare our broths to be as full of vitamins and minerals with a 24 hour extraction, to give you a delicious broth to introduce to your daily diet plan.

By consuming just broth for a few meals, you will find it nourishing and satisfying whilst also allowing your body to take a break from processing the solids from our normal meals. Your organs have a chance to repair and recover, you are populating your ‘gut buddies’ (the millions of helpful and essential bacteria in our gut), and having a delicious meal at the same time!

We seldom give our insides a chance to rest and recover in modern life, and as we can’t see what’s going on, we must be mindful and supportive in our diet to support this essential system for our well being.

Here are a few key benefits of incorporating broth to your diet:

1. **Gut Health:** One of the standout advantages of bone broth is its positive impact on gut health. The gelatin and collagen present in bone broth are believed to help repair and strengthen the lining of the digestive tract, potentially reducing symptoms of conditions like leaky gut syndrome.

2. **Nutrient Density:** Bone broth is a powerhouse of nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Additionally, it contains compounds like glucosamine and chondroitin that support joint health.

3. **Immune System Boost:** The amino acids in bone broth, such as glutamine and arginine, have been associated with immune system support. Additionally, bone broth contains minerals like zinc and selenium, which are known to play crucial roles in immune function.

4. **Collagen Richness:** Collagen is a protein that contributes to skin elasticity, joint flexibility, and hair strength. Consuming bone broth may help improve the body's collagen levels, promoting healthier skin and potentially reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

5. **Hydration and Satiety:** Bone broth can be a hydrating and satiating beverage, making it a great option for those looking to manage their weight or reduce snacking between meals.

Bone broths are also a perfect tool to add to your pantry, as they provide rich concentrated flavours that enhance any dish they are added to, such as risottos, soups, or in fact any recipe where you would use water!
