INTRODUCTION

Almost every culture on earth has recognized the benefits of Bone broth, not only for its nutritional value, but for the great taste and ease of preparation. In some countries bone broth has been a staple for centuries and continues to be a mainstay for its versatility and its seemingly miraculous healing properties.

Bone broths are a delicious base for soups, sauces and gravies, but are also good medicine to maintain everyday health, both physical as well as mental. Bone broth has long been known as one of the best post-partum recovery tonics, as well as a general pick-me-up for when you are feeling in the dumps.

Originally, when I sat down to write this book, I had planned on simply providing instructions for preparing the bone broth, along with some recipes for using your bone broth to make delicious and nutritious soups, stew, gravies and demi-glace.

Many of my friends and colleagues questioned my wisdom as to why they couldnt simply run off to the store and buy some bullion, rather than taking all this time (and energy) in making their own bone broth. Of course, the reason is that the bullion and broths available in the store are almost always processed in a much different manner, contain much less nutrients than homemade bone broth and may contain other undesirable ingredients to extend their shelf life. Another reason is that, by making your own bone broth you can savor the incredible aroma that seems to fill your house and just makes you feel good (yes just the smell can make you feel better!)

This, inevitably, led to the question of just what is in bone broth that makes it so nutritious and what benefits can actually be achieved from this wonder food?

It was then that I realized, a simple perfunctory cook-book/recipe book would not be enough. I needed to explain just what it was that makes bone broth such an awesome food and one you should be consuming every day.

There are many ingredients in bone broth that just cant be found in any other foods, at least not in the concentration and combination they are found in bone broth. There are non-essential amino acids that are necessary or keeping your digestive tract working, keeping your blood flowing, keeping your heart healthy, keeping your mind sharp and even drastically aid in slowing down many effects of aging.

Basically, if you eat bone broth on a daily basis, you will find that your health improves dramatically, you will find that you have more energy than you ever thought possible and many have told me that a daily bone broth diet has given them a new outlook on life, a new vitality that theyve never experienced, even when they were in their teens and twentys.

So, with that in mind, I decided to dedicate this book to going over what is in the bone broth that helps you maintain good health, makes you feel better and helps you have more energy and a better frame of mind. I have also taken the time to show you how you can use bone broth as a base for a delicious detoxification soup that will eliminate almost all of the toxicities that are being pumped into most peoples bodies on a daily basis in this modern world of chemical saturations.

If all you are interested in is how to prepare bone broth feel free to skip over the first few chapters to get to the preparations and recipes section of the book. However, you will be missing out on some very good information which you can pass on to your friends and family. Its easy to say eat bone broth for your health, but usually not so easy to explain why.

Once you have finished this book, you should be an expert on bone broth and once you add bone broth to your daily diet, you will see a marked improvement in your physical as well as your mental health. This is actually one of those things that you dont have to wait weeks to see an improvement. Most people notice an immediate increase in energy and focus after only a couple of days, much more so than with most conventional over the counter vitamin supplements and minerals.

Once youve allowed your body to become accustomed to the awesome benefits of bone broth, you will wonder how on earth you ever got by without it. Many people find that its better than coffee in the morning to get them going and much better than sugar laden food to give them the energy to keep going. Whats even better is that there is no crash that is customarily noticed with those types of food and beverages.

Before we even begin, I feel the need to clear up some confusion between Broth, Stock and Bone Broth. Many people use stock and broth interchangeably, but there is actually a difference between stock, broth and bone broth.

Broth is usually simmered with vegetables, meat and aromatic herbs and spices and may contain some bones. Broth is usually clear and retains its liquid state when refrigerated. Its often used as a base for soups or can be consumed by itself.

Stock, however, is simmered for a much longer time, up to 6 hours, and contains more bones, sometimes roasted and often with meat still attached. Stock is strained and usually not seasoned. The goal of stock is to extract the collagen, which gives the stock its gelatinous quality. When chilled stock will have the texture of jello. Stock is used most often as a base for rich sauces or gravies. Stock is also a great binder to use instead of cream or butter.

Bone broth is kind of a hybrid of both broth and stock. The base of Bone broth is mostly stock-like, made from roasted bones. However it is cooked for a much longer time than traditional stock, with the goal being not only to extract the gelatinous material from the bones, but also to release all of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals contained in the bone and marrow. Bone broth is then strained and can be used as a stock or enjoyed by itself as a broth.

I have actually seen arguments break out over the definition of stock and broth, and how best to define bone broth (Or should we say bone stock?). The truth is, it really doesnt matter how you define it, it is both and it is neither, so define it as you will, I define it as delicious and nutritious bone broth.

CHAPTER 1

IF BONE BROTH IS SO GOOD, WHERE ARE THE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES & WHY ISNT IT BACKED UP BY DOCTORS?

Im sure youve probably read, heard or seen on T.V. and the web reports that say we should eat more bone broth. Some sites have touted it as one of natures perfect foods, with benefits ranging from increased energy to a better, longer life. Youve probably wondered how much of this is hype and how much of this is to be believed.

There have been very few scientific studies actually done on bone broth and the effects it has on our bodies and our health. This is mostly due to the fact that it is not something the big pharmaceutical companies can take advantage of. The large pharmaceutical corporations really stand nothing to gain from this miracle food and as a matter of fact, they might stand to lose quite a bit of money if the secrets of bone broth were to get out.
