Getting Back to the Basics
We are now understanding that SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that thrives on poor health, and it has forced us to realize just how unhealthy we are as a country. As we head into 2021, it’s important that we get back to the basics to take control of and actively improve our health. What are the basics? It almost seems too simple to list things like: sleep, exercise and daily movement, and (of course) nutrition. But, at the cornerstone and foundation of our health, we must prioritize these simple steps and get back to the basics.
Most of us have realized the importance of “armoring up” and supporting our immune system on a daily basis so it can function optimally over the long haul, as opposed to waiting for sickness to strike. Bone Broth contains numerous healing substances that can nourish and restore almost every system in the body. It is the job of the immune system to hunt and destroy pathogenic cells before they take over your normal functions. The essential amino acids present in bone broth are vital to this process. Arginine is essential for immune and liver function, glutamine boosts metabolism, and glycine aids in glutathione production and sleep quality. The marrow present in high quality bone broths contains alkylglycerols which are vital for white blood cell production. The gelatin (cooked collagen) supports your gut integrity, strength of your cells, and reduces the risk of the foreign cells to invade your systems, while glycosaminoglycans help to restore the intestinal lining. Bone broth is naturally anti-inflammatory and great for detoxifying your body through the support of your liver.
In order to thrive in today’s world, we must place our own health as a priority. By taking regular steps to maintain our health through things like exercise and daily bone broth consumption, we can do our best to avoid feeling run down or overtaken by sickness. Prioritizing our own health allows us to better support our families, friends, and communities. As the holidays approach, we wish you good health because when you get back to the basics, that’s the best gift of all.
