BROTH DOES THE BODY GOOD!
I was sitting at my desk this morning sipping on some hearty beef broth I had been preparing for a few days. The aroma and warmth of it was so comforting. I have been fighting a bug for a week now despite my efforts of natural home remedies and overuse of hand-sanitizer. I knew my body needed the nutrition and healing properties prepared in this broth. Broth for breakfast you ask?
Yes, it does the body good!
If made naturally from the bone marrow of beef or chicken bones, which contain elements that protect the lining of the stomach and esophagus. If you suffer from acid reflux, this is the stuff!
Bone broth is known as a super food. The cooking process breaks down bones and connective tissues – including proteins, minerals and fat – that heal the body in many ways. And because bone broth comes from pure nature, it’s sometimes more beneficial than taking supplements, especially for people with severe digestive problems. I can vouch for this! I've been ingesting bone marrow broth for nearly seven months now and it has been a miracle drug for a stomach disorder I had developed from taking the horrific antibiotic Clindamycin for a tooth issue.
It has been noted in preventing wrinkles, inflammation, skin and hair conditions, and so much more!
I couldn't eat for several weeks, much less drink water. I sincerely felt as if I were dying. After spending ridiculous amounts of time in the hospital, medical test, and paying doctors to no avail...I searched out a natural remedy. The broth was the ticket! It only took one day of drinking it when the healing began.
As I have become extremely busy with the magazine, and homeschooling, I have also let my guard down. I have been eating things I normally wouldn't touch on the go. In turn this has caused a weakened immune system. So here I am sipping away on this hearty broth to heal my aching bones and enjoying this palatable potion.
