One of my favorite things in life is hearing from yet another person who finally turns to a lifestyle of natural health, who says that he or she is now healthier and happier than ever before.
When you give Mother Nature a chance, she’ll show you all the miracles she has to offer. And today it’s time to unveil the incredible benefits of another one of her gifts.
Here’s your new favorite product of nature, and the 6 amazing health benefits that you didn’t know it contained…
Bone broth.
Wait! I know it may not sound like the most appetizing soup in the world, but it’s much better than its name would make it seem, AND it includes all of these benefits:
1. Improved digestion
Bone broth contains a gelatin that does a couple of wonderful things for your body. First, it protects the mucosal line of the digestive tract. And second, it helps your digestive juices by acting as a hydrophilic colloid.
2. Defense against infections
Even more impressive is the fact that ingesting bone broth could be your ticket to evading the common cold and even the flu this year!
3. Skin, hair, and nails
If you’ve been an avid reader of my Natural Cures column, you know that I simply love collagen and everything it provides us. Well, the collagen in bone broth promotes stronger hair and nails, as well as healthier skin.
4. No more joint pain…
To keep the collagen discussion going, bone broth’s glucosamine actually helps to encourage new collagen growth in the body, which repairs joints, reduces joint pain, and defends against inflammation.
5. Better sleep
One of my favorite benefits of bone broth comes from the amino acid glycine it contains. Glycine has a calming effect on the body, which then aids in the process of falling asleep.
6. Stronger bones
The calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous in bone broth all help in the formation, growth, and repair of bones. So a bowl of this natural soup could mean preventing bone injuries that oftentimes accompany aging.
