Hello everyone, did you know that a good bone broth is able to resurrect the dead?
Or that in the folk wisdom it's called the Jewish penicillin.
It just proves how strong and powerful it is at sorting out all kinds of ailments and
illnesses that we might have.
I remember I had the swine flu a few years ago, and I was craving my chicken soup sooo
badly but my husband doesn't know how to make it.
He still doesn't know how to make it even though it's so easy.
And it's something that I was craving like crazy, but...
Unfortunately, my mum wasn't there, so I wasn't able to get it.
So I first came across the bone broth when I was reading a book called The Clear Skin
Diet by Karen Fischer.
And I'll be forever grateful to this book for opening my eyes to the fact that a lot
depends on what we eat.
Actually, we are what we eat!
So, bone broth was one of the most important things in her diet for clear skin.
I made it once, but somehow I didn't stick to it.
I probably wasn't ready because I wasn't into Paleo or Primal then.
Then, a few months ago, I was reading a book from Nagel Ramiel (I hope I'm pronouncing
it right - if I'm not, please correct me), and it was called Cure Tooth Decay.
It was all about how to remineralize your teeth.
And bone broth, again was the most important element of the program.
As desperate as I was, I decided to jump onto the wagon.
And here I am...
OK, so in this video I'm going to share with you the benefits, the amazing benefits of
bone broth for your health and your beauty.
And also don't miss the eight interesting facts about bone broth that I bet you didn't
know (and I didn't know either before I started researching it).
Then, next week, I will spill all the secrets on how to make it, use it and store it in
the best possible way.
So, let's jump right in!
First of all, you probably know that you have to put vinegar into the bone broth before
boiling it.
But perhaps you didn't know why.
That's because vinegar or the acid in the vinegar extracts all the minerals from the
bone broth.
And without it, it wouldn't be the superfood that it is!
Another interesting fact is that bone broth could be thought of as a protein supplement.
So, here you go, chuck away all those expensive protein supplements, protein powders and make
yourself some bone broth!
Here's to an amazing money saving tip!
Not only it has protein but it also reduces your body's need for protein.
So by drinking bone broth consistently you can reduce your meat consumption by up to
a half.
And that should save you a lot of money too!
Now that's another interesting fact about our body.
It steals minerals from our bones and tissues if there is an emergency elsewhere in the
body.
So, for example, if you consume too much sugar and too much insulin gets released into your
body, in order to neutralize it your body will steal minerals, such as calcium or magnesium,
from your bones and tissues in order to repair the damage done to the system.
So no wonder why we are a nation with kids whose baby teeth are rotting and magnesium
deficiency is the number one deficiency in America at the moment.
Now you probably already know that calcium is the most abundant mineral in your teeth
and bones but I was interested to find out that it's also the most abundant mineral in
your entire body.
Some conditions, such as prolonged bed rest, post-menopause, ageing, but even such innocent
habits as drinking too much coffee can create calcium loss, which in turn can create bone
loss.
There is an illness called Scurvy, and that's Vitamin C deficiency.
Most people already know about that.
And the symptoms are bleeding gums, wounds that take forever to heal and bruising.
But the interesting fact is that it's much more complicated than what it seems.
It seems that those symptoms are actually symptoms of collagen deficiency, and not Vitamin
C deficiency.
It's because our body needs Vitamin C in order to synthesize collagen.
So if we lack Vitamin C, we'll also lack collagen.
That's why we get bleeding gums, bruises and so on.
And finally, bone broth has only 3 amino acids, so it's not a complete protein, and it can't
be a meal replacement.
And that's why probably it traditionally has been used as a starting point for making a
soup, as a starter in a meal or as a snack.
Alright, now that we've learned all the interesting facts about bone broth, it's time to learn
why we should take it.
And I promise to you that there are a lot of reasons why.
First of all, it's abundant in minerals, especially calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
And these three minerals are very important for healthy bones and teeth.
Another thing is that they are in an extremely assimilable form.
So it's so easy for your body to absorb them.
What it does is it "heals and seals"the gut, and that's a term invented by Dr. Natasha
Campbell-McBryde who is the founder of the GAPS protocol, which is a diet for inflammatory
gut diseases.
So because it's so healing for the digestive system, it's a great thing to have if you
have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, collitis or even Crohn's disease.
Bone broth also improves your immune system, so that's why our mums used to make bone broth
whenever we had a bad cold.
Another reason why our mums used to make bone broth for us is because cystein, a natural
amino acid found in chicken broth is great at making mucus more liquid.
So if you have a runny nose or if you have mucus in your lungs, if you have a cough,
it's a great way to make it easier for you to expel it.
So our mums were wiser than we thought.
Bone broth is abundant in gelatin.
And gelatin does a couple of things.
First of all, it improves the blood by increasing red blood cells and haemoglobin in the blood.
So if you are anaemic or especially if you are a woman, it's a great thing to have.
There is another thing that it does.
Now, I bet you've heard the term collagen.
We all know it from all these expensive collagen injections and anti-ageing creams and so on.
But I bet you didn't know that collagen and gelatin is the same thing.
Collagen is a scientific term, and gelatin is a food term for the same thing.
So by having bone broth with all this gelatin, or in other words collagen, inside, you can
actually have the best beauty treatment in your own kitchen.
Another thing that bone broth does is help you detoxify.
And that's through the detoxification process but also if you're just living your daily
life.
And it helps you detoxify by supporting your liver.
Another reason why bone broth is great is because it has a lot of substances that are
otherwise used as very expensive supplements.
So there is something called Chondroitin Sulphate, and it's known as a supplement for pain caused
by... joint pain caused by osteoarthritis.
It's very expensive and a lot of people have to take it.
But bone broth is full of it!
So you could just make some bone broth and it will have the same effect.
Or how about all the calcium supplements that parents buy for their kids?
You could just make them some bone broth!
That's a great money saving tip.
And, finally, this is a little bit vain, and it's a beauty reason.
But bone broth helps you get rid of cellulite.
By consuming bone broth you're going to get rid of that "orange skin" in no time!
And that's because bone broth supports the smooth connective tissue.
So these are my benefits and interesting facts about bone broth.
Are you ready to give it a try now?
It's amazing, it tastes so good, easy to make, and very often you can even get the bones
for free from your local butchers, so there is no reason why you shouldn't try it.
And next week I will show you how to do it, how to store it, and how to consume it in
the best possible way, and obviously I will show you how I consume it in my daily life.
So if you like this video I'd be really happy if you give me a thumbs up!
If you don't, I'm sorry, I'll try to improve next time.
