Eating lots of vegetables is a great start for Healthy Skin. But since I want to Subtract 9 years I’m going to need a catalyst for those veggies! Bone broth for healthy skin seems to be the “magical” ticket! My elixir for renewing my waning collagen and elastin. How so?
Bone broth has nutrients such as collagen, gelatin, amino acids, and trace minerals that are great for maintaining healthy skin!
Bone Broth has an amazing ability to be easily absorbed and used by the body. Not only is it great for the skin, but it also helps build cartilage in the joints.
In fact, there are studies that showed, “At the end of only four weeks, those using collagen showed a statistically significant improvement in comparison to those using a placebo with regard to skin moisture and skin evaporation, plus noticeable decreases in signs of accelerated aging, all with little to no side effects.”
I will now be doing my own Four Week Study! 😎
A cup of simmering, collagen and gelatin rich broth sprinkled with chopped green onions and a little shredded kale will go GREAT in my soup thermos EVERY DAY! It smells SOOOOOO good!
Since I want the REAL thing, I’m going to make my own! It’s easy!
In the video below, I’m using grass fed beef bones. Since I want the biggest bang for my buck….only the healthiest and ultra nutrient-dense beef bones for me! I can’t be 100% sure what already bottled “bone broth” contains or even if they have added anything to “enhance” their broth, so, I feel much better when I add all the ingredients myself. I LOVE choosing my own organic veggies either from my garden or my local Organic Food market because I’ll know WHAT I’m getting in my recipe!
Basic Bone Broth
Ingredients
- 5.5 lbs. Beef marrow bones Grass Fed
- 1 lb. Beef chunks, Stew meat is fine Grass Fed. (for extra flavor)
- 1 oz. Apple Cider Vinegar Braggs, with the mother
- Water Enough to cover bones and veggies
- 4 Carrots
- 5 or 6 stalks Celery
- 1 med Onion
- 4 - 6 cloves Garlic
- Himalayan Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Bay leaf optional
- 2 sprigs Thyme optional
Instructions
- Bring to boil.
- Let simmer 24 to 36 hours.
- Refrigerate over night. Fat rises and hardens on top.
- Skim off fat and store in the fridge for up to one week.
- Put in freezer containers and store in freezer until needed.
At a later date I might try making chicken or fish bone broth. As long as the chicken is free range AND organic and the fish are “wild” caught, those yummy, easily absorbed nutrients are extremely beneficial.
I plan on having a cup of this Bone Broth once a day. It’s really delicious!
Next post I’ll share what I’ll enhance the bone broth with and how I’ll add it to my daily menu! Coming this Saturday! 😃
