Keto Bone Broth

Bone broth is one of the essential keto-friendly foods everyone should know how to make. It’s my favourite cooking ingredient that boosts any meals with flavour, healthy gelatine and minerals, and it’s also great on it’s own, especially during cold winter months. Drinking bone broth is one of the best ways to replenish electrolytes (sodium, magnesium and potassium) and eliminate the symptoms of “keto-flu”.

Here is why bone broth is good for you:

1. rich in electrolytes (magnesium, sodium and potassium) – helps with “keto-flu”
2. rich in other minerals (calcium, phosphorus)
3. rich in gelatine and collagen (keeps your joints, ligaments, tendons and bones healthy and reduces joint pain, no need to buy expensive supplements for bone and joint health)
4. helps with muscle repair (great for physically active individuals)
5. strengthens nails and hair and makes them look gorgeous
6. helps heal leaky gut
7. fights infections (flu, cold)
8. great for thyroid health and adrenal fatigue issues
9. reduces inflammation (the main cause of heart disease)
