Bone broth not only tastes delicious but it is an amazing remedy for gut healing and digestive support. It contains gelatine, which promotes healthy movement of food in the gastrointestinal tract. It also contains collagen, which is broken down into amino acids like glutamine. Glutamine plays a huge role in intestinal health and can help support the intestinal barrier, preventing toxins from leaking into the rest of the body. A “leaky gut” can certainly disrupt immune function, making bone broth an excellent immune-boosting food to consume.

NOTES: Chicken feet are optional, but highly recommended! (Use in place of broth in almost any recipe (but take into account that it hasn’t been seasoned with salt). My favourite way to enjoy it is simply warmed in a mug with salt and pepper. Can use it to cook grains, legumes, etc. (All you really need is bones, apple cider vinegar and water. This will give you a very basic broth. The other ingredients are extras for flavour and nutrients).
