Let’s talk about your skin concerns. We have all been told that collagen is great for your skin, and it is! As you age, your body will naturally slow down its collagen production, so adding bone broth to your diet provides a tremendous benefit. I’m telling you, you’ll notice your radiant colour come back, while the return of elasticity reduces those pesky fine lines and wrinkles in no time. Bone broth also acts as a healing agent to help soothe and repair many other skin conditions, including eczema and acne.

The healthiest ingredients make the most robust bone broth; try to use bones from grass-fed animals. I like to purchase from local butchers.

Bone Broth vs Regular Broth vs Stock

• The broth is water simmering with meat, vegetables, aromatics, and sometimes bones. It typically cooks for only a few hours. It tends to be a thinner consistency but more flavorful than stock.

• Stock comes from simmering water with bones and may sometimes have vegetables and aromatics. The stock should cook for roughly four to six hours. Using bones in stock helps create a thicker consistency.

• The bone broth comes from marrow bones, with or without meat. It’s most beneficial when cooking for eight hours for chicken and beef 24 hours or longer. It’s a much longer process than regular broth or stock but provides the most benefits.

Take away message: Nourishing your body with a warm cup of bone broth throughout your day will help curb cravings, boost energy levels, and help you meet your health goals in no time.
