There are
many delicious ways to improve your health, and a great place to start, believe
it or not, is with good ole fashioned bone broth. For thousands of years bone
broths have provided essential minerals and nutrients to our ancestors
worldwide, and they are still part of every known culinary tradition on earth.
Bone broth is a flavorful liquid made by boiling the bones of just about any vertebrate
you can think of, typically poultry, beef, venison, bison, lamb, or fish, in
water for an extended period of time, typically anywhere from 6 to 72 hours
depending upon the bones used.
Bone
broth is especially rich in calcium, magnesium and phosphorous - which are all
essential for bone health. Bone broth also contains collagen that is said to
strengthen tendons, joints, ligaments, and skin, making it strong and supple
and helping to reducing wrinkles and cellulite. The high levels of glycine in
bone broth are also known to inhibit over activity of the immune system, reduce
inflammation, and promote healthy digestion by healing the lining of the
gut. Whether you are trying to heal from an infection, address an
auto-immune disease, or reduce inflammation, research has shown that high
levels of dietary glycine are critical and bone broth provides a delicious way
to improve those conditions.
Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, a nutrition scientist, certified clinical nutritionist, and co-author of Nourishing Broths is quoted as saying "We have science that supports the use of cartilage, gelatin, and other components found in homemade bone broth to prevent and sometimes even reverse osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, digestive distress, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer.”

Medea Galligan, of Medea’s Espresso & Juice Bar recently
stated “We are thrilled to be able to offer this highly nutritious food to our
customers in Asheville- people will drive from across town to buy a week’s
supply of our beef or chicken bone broth. We are also proud to support our
local farmers that supply our grass-finished and free-range bones.”
The company states: “Our mission here at Medea’s Espresso
& Juice Bar is to serve deeply nourishing foods that are also delicious -
we are part of a larger trend of showing Americans the value of eating real
food, helping folks get away from processed and refined foods.”
