Benefits (and yumminess) of Bone Broth!

If you haven't already tried making bone broth (different from chicken stock) you really should give it a try.  It is inexpensive and really easy to make, especially if you have a 6-quart slow cooker.

Bone broth made from good quality bones (i.e. pasture-fed, healthy) has numerous health benefits:
  1. Boosts the immune system if you have a cold or the flu.
  2. Nutrient dense food.
  3. Improves digestion.
  4. Good source of amino acids.
  5. Contains magnesium, phosphorus and calcium for bone and tooth health (helps remineralize tooth enamel which we all lose as we age).
  6. Supports joints, bones, hair, skin and nails from the collagen in the broth.
  7. Some studies say it even helps eliminate cellulite - and who wouldn't want that.
