This picture might not look very appetizing, but bone broth has some amazing health benefits!
Bone broths are given special emphasis among traditional foods circles. Preindustrial societies across the globe have always placed particular and special emphasis on the preparation of the whole animal – and that includes emphasis on using bones for making broth. African tribes placed emphasis on bone broths for babies and small children. In Asia, emphasis is placed on stocks and broths made from fish and fish bones. In Europe, stocks and broths have become the foundation of cooking and are used in not only making soups and stews, but also for preparing reductions, sauces and for braising vegetables and meats. Bone broth contains one of the most nutritionally dense and powerful compounds known to man. There is a powerful compound in broth known as GAGS glycosaminoglycans. Cartilage is formed primarily from collagen and elastin proteins, but also contains glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin sulfate, keratin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid.
Glycosaminoglycans, the complex proteins made from glucosamine, are also found in the linings of the digestive tract, mucus membranes, and arteries. Because increased levels of glucosamine boost the production of glycosaminoglycans, glucosamine supplementation may help treat conditions linked to the deterioration of these linings, such as chronic venous insufficiency, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and congestive heart failure. Research indicates that glucosamine sulfate may also help prevent kidney stones by reducing levels of oxalate in the urine.
