One of the best reasons to eat bone broth, (aside from the fact that it tastes amazing), is that it’s brilliant for your health. Of course, to get the most out of your food, it’s important that you choose options that contain the most nutrients to provide you with the most health benefits.
With this in mind, here’s a guide about bone broth health benefits.
Source of Collagen
Good bone broth is jam-packed with collagen. This is because bones are made up of 90% collagen, and as the bones are boiled the collagen is slowly extracted. The longer bones are boiled, the more collagen ends up in broth. At Gutsy we boil the bones for roughly 6 days to get all the collagen out that we possibly can. This collagen is especially good for your joints, bones and skin, leading to supple, elastic skin as well as healthy joints and other soft tissues.
You will look and feel better with an added source of collagen in your diet.
Nutritional Value
Bone broth is also packed with protein, minerals and amino acids, all of which are essential to every diet (especially as we age), not to mention it is also anti-inflammatory. Depending on the bones used, you might get a slightly different amount of nutrients, but it’s definitely an easy and tasty way to give your body a nutritional boost. At Gutsy we use only the leg bones of grass-fed, Australian cattle. We've found these to to be the most nutrient-rich part of the skeleton.
Gut Health
Bone broth is considered a superfood because it has so many benefits to your general health and well-being. As well as supporting gut health and joint function, both broth can help you lose weight and even feel more energised. At Gutsy we specifically love bone broth for its ability to build your gut lining. Bone broth contains the ingredients that our gut linings are made from. We need collagen, amino acids and minerals to sustain a healthy gut lining. If we don't get enough of these nutrients our gut lining starts to fade and that's a real issue. Your gut lining has an important job of keeping the microbiome where it belongs (in your gut), while allowing water and other selected nutrients through. With a failing gut lining, bacteria and food particles start to embed themselves into the wall of your intestines which will then start to inflame.
The Best Bone Broth
Broth is an important part of every diet. Gutsy Ferments bone broths are formulated with your health in mind, so you can find options that will do the most good for your body. Here's how we do it:
