You Need Bone Broth for Cold & Flu Season
BOOSTS IMMUNITY
The amino acids in bone broth - like arginine, glutamine, and cysteine - have been shown to boost immunity.
COMMON COLD KILLER
Why do we LOVE chicken soup when we’re sick? Because the broth, when it’s made from REAL healthy animal bones, can actually clear mucus and open respiratory pathways.
INFLAMMATION FIGHTER
The amino acids in bone broth reduce inflammation, and L-glutamine specifically reduces gut inflammation. This is another reason why bone broth is such an effective cold-killer. When we’re sick, our bodies are in a state of inflammation.
KEEPS US HYDRATED
Hydration is so important when keeping a healthy immune system! Bone broth contains electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium), making it an even better hydrator than water (and wayyyy more healthy than Gatorade!).
HEALTHY GUT = HEALTHY BODY
Guys, gut health is hot. And for good reason. Researchers now believe that at least 70% of our immune system is located in our gut. I talked allllll about how important gut health is in this post, but it’s especially important during cold and flu season.
The gelatin and collagen in bone broth is so healing to your gut lining as it acts a “sealer”. If you have a lot of inflammation in the gut, you’re at risk of causing permeability so collagen is super important!
AND, BONUS:
Any benefits you get from collagen peptides - which are all the rage right now (do people still say all the rage?) - like better hair, skin, nails, joints, and digestion, you’ll also get from bone broth. Win-win-win-win-win.
