Bone Broth Boosts Your Meals Posted June 24th, 2016 by Katie Visco & filed under bone broth. I can relate that you’re probably getting cross-eyed with all the healthy food chit-chat regarding recipes, sales, where to get white truffle oil, and who has the best meat and organic veggies. Here’s one, easy, food hack that changes EVERYTHING. Just add bone broth! This one easy step can transform your meal experience from start to finish. Bone broth brings amazing flavor to the table with marvelous health benefits. Flavor with benefits – it’s a win-win! People all over the world have been making bone broth for centuries, and with good reason. It is liquid gold. Not just one or two, but it boasts a truckload of benefits. Let’s just zone in on one – digestion. Because, let’s face it, you might need a little help after all those yummy veggies and grass-fed meats that you’re eating! Bone Broth Boosts Your Nutrition A properly made bone broth is chock full of good stuff (amino acids, minerals, and gelatin, just to name a few). Here’s what they do for your digestion: The amino acid glycine stimulates production of stomach acid. You absolutely need enough stomach acid to start breaking down those proteins and to prevent heartburn and acid reflux. Next, the gelatin in bone broth is a hydrophilic colloid – a term that’s probably new to you. It means that it attracts digestive juices so that you can break down your food into tiny pieces for absorption. This all translates into a happy tummy after a hearty meal without having to run to Walgreens for some Tums (or extra toilet paper). Contact Us Today! Simply Click Here! Bone Broth Boosts Your Flavor Let’s talk about flavor as well. Adding bone broth to your recipes brings a new dimension of delicious flavoring. Use broth instead of water when making rice, quinoa or any other grain. You can also use it instead of milk in mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, for basting the turkey, or as a base for soups and stews. Bone Broth Boosts Your Meals As you can see, bone broth is multi-purpose. If you have people over for a meal, your guests will scratch their heads wondering how you got that flavor to pop in your lentil stew and why their stomach has never felt better. Here’s the game plan to boost your meals by just adding bone broth: Start with drinking a cup of warm bone broth with sea salt before meals: This will prime the pump and get the stomach ready for digestion, along with giving you a healthy dose of good nutrients. Use bone broth in your recipes: Remember, flavor with benefits! Finish off the day with another warm cup of bone broth: Don’t raid the pantry for snacks before bedtime. That’s really not great for digestion, especially after a big meal. Have a warm cup of broth to unwind, quench the munchies, and nourish your body and soul. photo credit: Sopão via photopin (license)
