CHEESESLAVE is doing a Bone Broth Challenge for the month of July. Since I am about halfway through my third month on GAPS, I decided to join in and raise awareness on bone broth and all it's benefits.
First things first, how do you make bone broth? Well, I use the Broth is Beautiful recipe here. You will find recipes for basic chicken, beef, and fish stock there. Or I make my delicious basic Homemade Chicken Soup, without dumplings for now while I complete GAPS.
Lately I have been just throwing bones, water, carrots, celery, and a little apple cider vinegar into my slow cooker for one hour at room temperature (the vinegar draws the minerals out of the bones). Then I move the slow cooker outside on a chair and cook it on high overnight. That's the easiest way to make stock I have found.
I have had some truly amazing healing take place for me as I have drunk three cups of broth every day for the last 3.5 months. You don't need to commit to GAPS or cups of stock every day to feel better though. If you do the Bone Broth Challenge, you are only committing to one cup every day. See how you feel after this month.
Benefits of bone broths include:

Benefits of bone broths include:
- Healing your gut lining: stock is alkalizing, which balances and soothes leaky gut syndrome (which most of us have from growing up eating the Standard American Diet (SAD)).
- Collagen: this can help reverse wrinkles and cellulite. For me this is a possible added bonus while I do GAPS!
- Calcium and other minerals: this can revitalize your teeth and bones, hair and fingernails. I have even heard some people swear they have remineralized teeth that have been hit by decay.
