We love warming soups and broths this time of the year. Especially when it's so cold outside. Plus, soups and broths help to increase hydration, and improves gut health.
1. It helps to build strong and healthy bones. Bone broth is rich in protein collagen which helps to build strong and healthy bones.
2. Soups and broths helps to improve digestion and helps to heal the gut. Adding liquids to your diet will help move things along the GI tract. Soups made with bone broth has gelatin with helps to reduce inflammation and heal the intestine lining.
3. Bone broth helps to reduces joint pain and inflammation. Many people take glucosamine in a supplement form to help with joint pain and inflammation. Glucosamine is naturally found in bone broth, thus drinking bone broth helps to reduce joint pain and inflammation.
