Chicken soup is not only good for your soul. It is not without reason that doctors and mothers alike recommend a full plate if you are suffering from the weather. All types of bone broth – made from beef, chicken, fish, lamb, etc. – are an integral part of the most diverse diets in all cultures and also form the basis of fine cuisine. Even on the paleo or keto diet, you will not be able to avoid bone broth. This is because bone broth is high in nutrients, easy to digest, full of flavor, and health benefits.
Our ancestors used the bones of hunted animals to make a tasty broth to really use every part. Bones, marrow, skin, hooves, paws, paws, tendons, and ligaments – anything that we cannot eat directly can be cooked. In this way, healthy connections are released from the bones and tendons: collagen, proline, glycine, and glutamine have positive properties for the body.
First-class ingredients, excellent broth
Not only beef broth is healthy and therefore an indispensable element in the paleo lifestyle. Pig broth or fish broth also supports your health in many ways. However, a bone broth can only be as good as its ingredients. Bone Broth Powder by Intentionally Bare relies on animals that have had a good life in the wild. This calms your conscience and protects the environment from the effects of factory farming. The complex aroma profiles of these various broths also enrich every kitchen.
In addition, the healthy lifestyle of the animals also increases the content of nutrients, for example, omega-3 fatty acids. Cattle and pigs can easily convert omega-3s from plants, linolenic acid (LA), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) into omega-3 fatty acids. This in turn can be easily absorbed by humans. In contrast, the human body can only utilize a small percentage of LA and ALA.
