After the Holiday Meal ~ Rejuvenate!

Bone Broth

This is not new age medicine. It has been around a long time and used among those with little else to eat. I have had this broth prepared for me many times while living in eastern Europe. Meat bones made a great stock as in broth. Yes, if you haven't heard boiling a bunch of bones may not be the most sophisticated of kitchen delights; but, it might be the healthiest. Bone broth is made by simmering meat bones (beef, pork, lamb) in water for five to 10 hours depending on the meat used. Believe it or not, this boasts a cache of health benefits. Bones contain a high content of calcium, magnesium, collagen, gelatin, amino acids, and phosphorus all of which are thought to rejuvenate the gut, improve digestion, support joint tissue, bolster the immune system, preserve skin elasticity, and more.
