It's cold outside, I mean it is bone-chilling coh-oh-ohld! I love winter in Vermont, but this has been a challenge even for me, a true Vermonter! So, I've been thinking, what is the most comforting way to warm up on a cold winter's day? For me, it's home made soup.
Before I post a link to a soup recipe that I've collected on Pinterest, I want to share what I just learned about chicken soup! So good, for soul and body!
Chicken soup at it's best is made using bones cooked for hours in water, creating this nutritious thing called "bone broth". It turns out, bone broths contain tons of nutrients that support YOUR bones. Collagen, minerals, glucosamine, gelatin, and trace minerals all support the systems that your body uses to build bone structure, and even skin structure! Yes, it's possible that bone broths can keep saggy skin away!
Researchers have found that the amino acids produced in chicken bone broths help alleviate inflammation in the respiratory system. Yes, broth helps you feel better when you are sick!! How cool is that? Grandma was right all along, making chicken soup soothes the respiratory system.
Got sore joints or arthritis? Collagen from soup to the rescue! Speaking of sore joints, I have a wonderful, proven dietary supplement that I'll bring up in my next blog, made just to ease pain and support rebuilding of damaged joint tissues.
Detox with bone broths! Glutathione helps detox heavy metals and supports many processes in the body. Bone broths soothe the digestive tract and helps to heal a leaky gut. Boosts the immune system in many ways too!
I recommend making your own bone broths. If you must buy chicken broth, at least be sure there is no added MSG of any kind! Here is a link to a yummy recipe you may want to try: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/78672324719145624/
Enjoy life!
