Benefits of bone broth
Our raw material is carefully selected. Cooldo is made with bones from grass-fed cows, chickens and pigs. This shows, in the flavor and in the nutrients. Because eating bones from stabled animals is not the same as eating bones from animals that live freely and feed on grass.
Additionally, bone broth is a natural source of collagen, minerals, and amino acids. In fact, it has up to 17 different amino acids (structural part of proteins).
Do you want to know what benefits bone broth has and why you should incorporate it into your diet now? Read carefully!
SKIN HEALTH
The majority component of the skin is COLLAGEN. Consuming collagen has been studied to greatly improve skin hydration and elasticity . Multiple studies show that frequent consumption of collagen reduces wrinkles and signs of aging.
In addition, HYALURONIC ACID and DERMATAN SULPHATE, present in bone broth, promote the proliferation of skin cells and increase the presence of retinoic acid, which helps hydrate skin.
METABOLIC HEALTH
The amino acid GLYCINE, which bone broth contains, plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels , controlling gluconeogenesis in the liver. It has even been suggested that it could counteract the harmful effects of excess fructose on the body. Generally, our diet is high in the amino acid methionine and low in glycine (we only eat the muscle of the animal and do not eat the animal from top to bottom). Excess methionine raises homocysteine levels in the blood, increasing cardiovascular risk, the risk of contracting mental illnesses and the risk of fractures. People who consume excess animal protein need enough glycine to compensate for the excess methionine in meat.
PERFORMANCE AND MUSCLE
The GLYCINE present in bone broth increases creatine levels, which increases anaerobic work capacity ; in addition to stimulating the secretion of growth hormone, which improves glycogen storage and helps in muscle repair . In addition, the PROLINE contained in bone broth activates MTOR, which helps increase protein synthesis in the muscle.
On the other hand, bone broth provides minerals and is high in protein, making it interesting for post-workout recovery.
BONES AND JOINTS
It's pretty obvious that the best way to get the nutrients needed for bone health is by eating foods made from bones. Bone broth provides nutrients necessary for healthy bones such as PHOSPHORUS, CALCIUM and various AMINO ACIDS. The deficiency of these nutrients can lead to certain bone pathologies such as osteoporosis, which is related to a deficiency of collagen and calcium in the bones.
On the other hand, for joint health, lubrication is key. And that lubrication is provided by GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS such as chondroitin sulfate or glucosamine. In addition, these nutrients help mitigate joint pain and inflammation (arthritis). On the other hand, COLLAGEN also helps us keep our joints healthy .
DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Bone broth provides essential nutrients to repair the intestinal barrier and improve the condition of "leaky gut," an alteration of the tight junctions of the intestinal wall caused by stress, poor diet, allergens, and intestinal dysbiosis. This situation produces an overactivation of the immune system and a situation of chronic inflammation that is the prelude to infinite diseases. And the GLUTAMINE present in bone broth helps maintain the integrity of the mucosa and the intestinal barrier, which is why it is essential to reverse intestinal permeability and prevent the passage of bacteria and toxins into the blood. Another amino acid present in bone broth, GLYCINE, helps stimulate stomach acid, essential for proper food digestion . And contrary to what is believed, a lack of acid is one of the main causes of reflux, heavy digestion and bacterial overgrowth. Furthermore, GLYCINE is a component of bile acids, which are necessary to digest fats in the small intestine.
DETOXIFICATION AND LIVER HEALTH
The GLYCINE contained in bone broth stimulates the production of glutathione, the antioxidant par excellence and very important in phase II of liver detoxification. Glycine, therefore, helps the liver eliminate toxins.
On the other hand, PROLINE in bone broth plays an important role in apoptosis and cell recycling. It has the ability to trap free radicals, acting as a powerful antioxidant.
BRAIN HEALTH AND NERVOUS SYSTEM
There are several compounds in bone broth that are excellent for proper brain and nervous system function .
GLYCINE helps mitigate brain damage after a stroke and plays a role in embryonic brain development.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE plays a very important role in the regeneration and plasticity of the central nervous system, being essential for memory and learning .
REST AND MOOD
There are many who improve their mood and rest after consuming bone broth. The GLYCINE present in bone broth is an inhibitory neurotransmitter with functions similar to gaba, it acts as a relaxant and as an inhibitor of the central nervous system. Therefore, glycine is very effective in coping with states of stress and anxiety. In addition, it helps improve night rest, helping you fall asleep and improving its quality.
IMMUNE SYSTEM
In all cultures, including ours, grandmother's broth was the best remedy to fight a flu or a cold. And studies have shown it. Bone broth contains nutrients that help optimize your immune system . Certain amino acids such as glutamine improve the function of the intestinal barrier by acting as a source of energy for the epithelial cells of the small intestine and improve the integrity of the mucosa. Since 80% of our immune system is in the intestine, if we improve the function of the intestinal barrier we will avoid having a chronically altered and inflamed immune system, avoiding autoimmune diseases and food allergies.
If you want to get the nutrient benefits of bone broth, it is advisable to drink it regularly. You can drink a cup of bone broth daily as a healthy drink, or use it as a base for soups and stews. With a little creativity, you can find many delicious and healthy ways to include bone broth in your diet. Try our bone broth today and discover everything it has to offer!
