Immune Supporting Bone Broth

□by Bluebird Provisions

As fall dips into winter and we are finding ourselves indoors more, we may become exposed to the common cold or maybe the flu.  To help support our immune system during the cooler months make an immune boosting broth at home to sip. Bone broth is an ancient nutrient dense food that has been used for centuries.  It contains minerals in forms that you body can easily absorb. 

• calcium
• magnesium
• phosphorus
• silicon
• sulfur
• and others

They also contain chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine to reduce inflammation, such arthritis and joint pain. These are compounds found in many pricey supplements. 

Research from the University of Nebraska Medical Center study that found chicken soup not the kind that comes in a red and white can. But the old fashion kind you can make at home or find on grocery stores shelves. (brands such at Kettle & Fire, Epic, Trader Joe's and Nona Lim just to name a few) This kind of chicken soup produces amino acids that reduce inflammation in the respiratory system and improved digestion. The research also discovered it can boost the immune system and heal disorders like allergies, asthma and arthritis.
​
Make this souper food, (whoops) super food at home with the following recipe and add in a few medicinal herbs and foods, such as astragalus root and mushrooms. Both of these items can be found locally here in Greensboro at Deep Roots Market or from Haw River Mushrooms, which can be found at the Greensboro Curb Farmers Market.
