Today's Ingredients Last week, we looked into "leaky gut syndrome." Now we're going to explore a traditional food that some claim can help with gastrointestinal issues and more — bone broth. Bone broth is made by slowly simmering animal bones to extract the collagen, amino acids, and minerals within. Some say this nourishing, gelatinous brew can soothe joint inflammation and heal GI issues, among other impressive health benefits. So today, let's dip a ladle into the steaming world of bone broth and see what benefits rise to the surface. But first, here are some stories to set the stage for today's newsletter:   • Bone broth may help some people's IBS   • Collagen vs. gelatin: What are the differences?   • Can collagen be vegan? Bon appétit, Tim Snaith Newsletter Editor, Healthline   Written by Tim Snaith October 19, 2023 • 4 min read Main Course Double, double, boil and brew, bone broth may be good for you You may have heard friends talking about bone broth as a simple remedy for joint pain and digestion issues. This rich, nourishing tonic has moved from grandmother's stove to the health food scene's spotlight. But does traditional bone broth live up to the modern hype? The first thing to know is that there's a lack of research investigating the benefits of bone broth specifically. However, this briny brew is chock-full of compounds that have been found to be anti-inflammatory, which may imbue it with special health benefits. For example, glycine and arginine, two of the amino acids that make up collagen, have both been linked to decreased inflammation. Additionally, research in rodents has linked glycine to reduced depression symptoms and improved sleep quality. Bone broth also delights the digestive tract with glutamine, which helps maintain the intestinal wall and protect against increased intestinal permeability, a symptom of several chronic gastrointestinal diseases. You can whip up this healing broth yourself by roasting beef, lamb, pork, or poultry bones before gently brewing them for 8+ hours with some vinegar. Strain out the solids, skim the fat, and drink it straight up or use it in recipes. While more research is needed, bone broth clearly packs an anti-inflammatory punch with its nourishing mix of collagen and amino acids. If you're sick of chicken soup, try bone broth as today's soothing sip. P.S. I would love to recommend some vegan collagen alternatives, but they're not yet widely available.
