What makes bone broth so beneficial? 

Here's the deal: Bone broth is catching on because people know that it tastes fantastic and keeps them healthy. But bone broth isn't just warming and nutritious; it actually turns back the clock. A healthy aging expert, Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, M.S, M.D made bone broth a core of her program for years—and it works. Why is bone broth one of her most powerful clinical tools? First, it's packed with healthy-aging nutrients. Here are just some of them:

• Collagen. This structural protein builds strong skin, protecting against aging and wrinkling. While expensive collagen skin creams work temporarily, dietary collagen is far more potent because it mainlines collagen to your cells. In addition, the collagen peptides derived from collagen heal your digestive tract, helping to prevent inflammation that leads to aging.
• Glycine. Your body is bombarded all day long with toxins that age you. Glycine helps your liver get these toxins out of your body, re-energizing and de-aging your cells.
• Minerals including calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Bone broth is a fabulous source of these anti-aging minerals, and its chemical composition makes them highly bioavailable.
• Glycosaminoglycans, including glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. These nutrients help keep your joints young and flexible.
• Iodine. Fish bone broth is rich in this nutrient, which protects against a sluggish thyroid—a major cause of weight gain, thinning hair, and energy loss as you age.

What's more, bone broth is rich and soul-satisfying. It fills you up and warms you down to your toes, so you're never tempted to overeat or snack on junk that ages your face and body.

In clinical experience, bone broth reverses signs of aging better than any powder, pill, or serum. And unlike expensive creams and prescription medications, bone broth costs next to nothing. Finally, think about this: How many amazing anti-aging treatments can you make in your own kitchen from stuff you'd usually throw away? (It's the ultimate recycling project!)

So give it a try, and see what happens. Dr. Kellyann drinks at least one cup of bone broth every day, and that's the same healthy aging prescription she gives her patients, too. If you need help managing healthy weight, try adding in one or two bone broth "micro-fasts" each week. Within days, you'll start to feel a difference—and within weeks, you'll start to look it too.
