Health Facts: Two Reasons to Start Consuming Bone Broth

by

Here are two important health facts about consuming bone broth:

  1. Rich in Nutrients: Bone broth is packed with essential nutrients such as collagen, gelatin, amino acids (like glycine and proline), and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients support joint health, improve skin elasticity, and may help with gut health by strengthening the intestinal lining.
  2. Supports Immune Function: Bone broth contains compounds like amino acids and minerals that may help to support immune function. The gelatin found in bone broth also aids digestion, which is linked to overall immune health.

Potential Negatives of Consuming Bone Broth:

  1. High Sodium Content: Some commercially prepared bone broths can be very high in sodium, which may contribute to high blood pressure or other cardiovascular issues if consumed in excess.
  2. Heavy Metal Contamination: Bones can accumulate heavy metals like lead. While studies show bone broth typically contains low levels of these metals, overconsumption or using bones from poorly sourced animals may pose a risk over time.

In moderation, bone broth can be a nourishing addition to a balanced diet, but it’s important to consider these factors when incorporating it into your routine.

Today’s Thought: Keep Moving Forward

Yes, you will fail. Yes, you’ll be treated unfairly. Yes, you’ll get betrayed. Get over it. It happens to all of us. Each time you fail, or are treated unfairly, or get betrayed, look it in the eye and laugh out loud and move on. You’ll surprise the hell out of them when you succeed. Never quit. Never give up.

Today’s Quote: The Test of Courage

by

“Real courage is holding on to a still voice in your head that says, ‘I must keep going.’ It’s that voice that says nothing is a failure if it is not final. That voice that says to you, ‘Get out of bed. Keep going. I will not quit.’” — Cory Booker

Today’s Poem: I Choose the Mountain by Howard Simon

I Choose the Mountain

Howard Simon

It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun—
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky—
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!

Health Facts: Want to Maintain a Healthy Liver?

by

Here are two lesser-known health facts about how diet can help keep your liver healthy:

  1. Sulfur-rich foods enhance detoxification: Foods like garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale) contain sulfur compounds that support the liver’s detoxification processes. Sulfur helps the liver produce glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that plays a key role in neutralizing harmful substances and preventing liver damage.
  2. Beets boost bile production: Beets contain betaine, a compound that aids in breaking down fats and improving bile flow in the liver. This supports digestion and helps the liver efficiently process and eliminate toxins, reducing the risk of fatty liver disease.
