How Does This Broth Heal?

You may be puzzled at why an odd-sounding broth might aid your gut health. Perhaps you think your gut health is just fine, thank you very much.

But not all issues stemming from the gut region present with the issues you’d think of with digestive problems. Autoimmune conditions, for example, maybe triggered by gut problems.

Although science hasn’t yet learned all there is to know about autoimmune conditions, one likely possibility is that some foods cause our guts to “leak.”

This happens when the cells lining our intestines are stretched out by eating certain foods. A gap is created that allows bacteria to pass through, causing your body to attack.

While we want our bodies to go to war with foreign invaders, sometimes what happens is the body starts to attack itself too.

Of course, what we’d rather have happened is that the body is allowed to heal itself. For much more on the science and rationale behind AIP, read this definitive guide to autoimmune protocol.

Why Bone Broth?

A lot of people worry that they are deficient in nutrients. Many people are. While supplements have their place, food is often a great way to ensure you get what you need.

Plus, you’re unlikely to get too much of any one vitamin or mineral.

Bone broth has a lot to offer in the nutrient department. By breaking down the bone and connective tissue, you unleash the power of collagen, gelatin, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, glucosamine, and chondroitin. Those last two are important for joint health, btw.

Gelatin, in particular, is a great asset in gut healing. If you help your gut heal itself, you’ll probably feel a lot better.

Tips For Fish Broth

• You may be able to get fish bones and scraps for free. Check with your local fishmonger or grocery store. If not free, you can usually pick them up for a nominal cost.
• Do not overcook this broth. Let me repeat that. Do not overcook fish bone broth. Your family thanks you in advance. This goes a long way in not stinking up your house.
• It wouldn’t be a bad idea to be cooking or baking something fragrant while your fish broth is going, just in case.
• Finally, most people opt for non-oily fish bones, including sole, snapper, halibut, haddock, cod, and flounder.
