  • December 13, 2016

The Chicago Tribune was late to the game but they recently extolled the many virtues of bone broth. Describing it as the next health trend, they outlined the many benefits provided by this nourishing superfood.

The reasons to make bone broth a staple of your diet are innumerable, but the case for this nourishing broth can be boiled down to five primary benefits.

Gut dysfunction is the possible source of autism, allergies and myriad other issues. Bone broth can heal and seal your gut. This is one of the most important reasons to consume bone broth.

Bone broth may reduce joint pain and inflammation. This is courtesy of chondroitin sulphates, glucosamine, and other compounds extracted from the boiled down cartilage.

A related benefit is that bone broth promotes strong and healthy bones. It contains amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients that play an important role in healthy bone formation.

Bone broth can also promote healthy hair and nail growth. This is due to the gelatin in the broth.

The curative properties of bone broth extend far beyond musculoskeletal issues. It can inhibit infections caused by cold and flu viruses.
