Bone broth is a savory drink, usually made by cooking animal bones (beef or poultry) with vegetables over a long period of time. Unlike a stock, it’s simmered for a longer time to make sure that as much of the nutrients as possible is leached from the bones. Contrary to what many people believe, bone broth is not something new. It’s a centuries-old health drink of choice for many, from those following ancient Chinese medicine to the Victorian English. But why has it gotten the spotlight again, after being in the dark for so long? And should you also start drinking broth? Here are a few benefits linked to bone broth.

Healthy Gut and Digestion

The collagen and proteins found in broth builds and repairs the gastrointestinal tract lining, which can aid in prevention of leaky gut and food sensitivities.

Better Bones and Joints

People often take glucosamine supplements for joint health, but bone broth also contains this amino sugar! What is more, it also contains chondroitin sulfate, a chemical found in joint cartilage, and gelatin, both of which is shown to improve flexibility, and support cartilage restoration. Minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium also strengthen the bones.

If you don’t like drinking it straight up, use it as you would a normal beef or chicken stock: in soups, to make risotto or other rice-based dishes, or in stews.
