7 Benefits of Bone Broth for Cancer

Research from the Creighton University Medical Center, USA shows us that bone broth nutrients with highly anti-inflammatory action. Research and others have time and again confirmed the high anti-inflammatory action of the nutrients found bone broth in large percentages.

However, the immune system prevents the development of these cells and destroys them. Having a weak immune system is an easy prey for many diseases to attack and take over the body.

Some of the key nutrients in bone broth include: Chondroitin sulfate, iron, collagen, hyaluronic acid, glycine, proline and Glycosaminoglycans.

Through these tiny holes, amino acids and other food molecules actually leak into the blood stream, causing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and other diseases.

Directions

Step One: Prepare your ingredients by washing the vegetables and the mutton bones. If you didn’t buy roasted bones, then you can roast them yourself as follows: spread the bones on a rimmed baking sheet and roast in a 425-degree F oven for half an hour until browned.

Step Two: Place the chopped vegetables in a blender and blitz till they are coarsely ground.

Step Three: Layer the roasted bones in the pressure cooker/slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. Make sure the water submerges the ingredients but does not go beyond the fill line.

Step Four: Secure the lid and pressure cook for 1 hour on medium heat. The timer will not start for a few minutes unless there is enough pressure build-up in the cooker. If using a slow cooker, secure the lid and cook on low heat for 12-24 hours.

Step Five: When the time is up, remove from heat. Allow the pressure to release completely from the pressure cooker. It takes about 15-30 minutes.

Step Six: The tendons and connective tissues on the mutton bones should be very soft/dissolved. The bones should be soft and falling apart if you use a slow cooker. However, it doesn’t matter if they are still hard (I usually cook mine for 40 minutes to 1 hour in a pressure cooker and they are usually hard as seen in the picture).

Step Seven: Season with additional salt as necessary and you can now enjoy sipping your bone broth now!

Step Eight: To store for later, let it cool until warm then transfer to containers and let it completely chill in the refrigerator overnight or for six hours. When cooled, skim off the fat on the surface and store in the refrigerator for 5 days. Or, freeze for up to 3 months.
