Bone broth, sometimes called stock, is liquid made from boiling animal bones and connective tissue. Chefs use stock as a base for soups, sauces, and gravies. Some people drink it on its own.

People have been making bone broth since the beginning of humankind. Anthropologists think people drank liquid infused with bones and other animal parts as early as prehistoric times.

In a nutshell, the key benefits of bone broth are:

A. If you are suffering from arthritis or any joint pain, as I did due to my arthroscopic knee surgeries and the two rivets implanted in each of my knees, drinking bone broth supports joint health and may help to reduce the discomfort.

B. If you'd like a glowing skin from the inside out, use bone broth to support your digestive health first, because our natural beauty is closely connected to our gut.

C. If you are pregnant or you are ready to get pregnant, besides dairy products, bone broth is also a source of calcium. Remember, if you don't get enough calcium from your diet, it won't affect your baby's development, because your baby will just take the calcium it needs from your bones.

D. Bone broth contains collagen, which helps prevent and get rid of stretch marks naturally. You don't need those expensive creams, Mama!

E. Bone broth promotes detoxification which promotes a decrease in hangover effects.
