Bone Broth Nachos

Why Bone Broth?
 
In traditional cooking, people often use meat bones as a base for delicious stock. Aside from being the secret to great cooking, bone broth is also incredibly nutritious and has scores of health benefits. 
 
The Weston A. Price Foundation and advocates of the Paleo and Primal lifestyles favor bone broth for its wide array of nutrients that are difficult to find in any other food source. In her book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, A.D.D., Dyslexia, A.D.H.D., Depression, Schizophrenia, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride has made bone and meat stock the foundation of the GAPS protocol because of its ability to heal and seal the gut lining and reduce overgrowth of harmful microbes.
 
Though the exact nutritional content varies based on the bones used, cooking time, and cooking method, the following nutrients are consistently found in most bone broths. Collagen, Gelatin, Glycosaminoglycans, Glutamine and Minerals Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium and Zinc. Each of these components lends to the powerhouse of nutrition and healing that is Bone Broth. Some of the health benefits are:
  • Immune function
  • Mood and sleep regulation
  • Brain and eye health
  • Digestion and gut integrity
  • Detoxification
  • Liver function
  • Kidney health
  • Bone, joint and muscle health
  • Metabolic and cardiovascular health
  • Skin health
