Bone broth is being hailed as the new \u201cit\u201d food but nothing more than your mother or grandmother were trying to say when they recommended chicken soup for a cold. As a new\/old food, broth, with its nutritious punch, harkens back to prehistoric times. Bone broth has long been heralded for its ability to heal and has retained its crown for thousands of years.<\/p>\n

Today, that knowledge has been taken a step further with the opening of bone broth bars around the globe, commercially packaged bone broth and cookbooks like Bone Deep Broth by Lya Mojica and Taylor Chen (Sterling Publishing).<\/p>\n

What is bone broth?<\/h4>\n

The broth begins with bones that are simmered for many, many hours with the result of extracting amino acids and minerals that are beneficial to the body. The nutrients are pulled from both the soft part of the bone and the marrow.<\/p>\n

Bone marrow provides omega-3 fatty acid, which supports brain function, and glycine, which helps repair body proteins. The best part of the marrow is its high concentrations of calcium, iron, phosphorous, zinc, selenium, magnesium, manganese, Vitamin A \u2013all essential to good health.<\/p>\n

This powerhouse of vitamins and minerals is said to strengthen immunity to disease and infection as well as improve memory, sleep and mood\u2014not to mention helping to keep bones strong and healthy.<\/p>\n
