Benefits of Drinking Bone Broth

I could bore you and list all the benefits one by one.

But I’ll spare you all of that and tell you why I drink it and what it’s done for me.

Nine months ago, my husband stumbled across Stan Efferding on Youtube. I have written about him several times here on my blog. I swear by all of his advice. And as a fitness guru, I read a lot of books and watch a number of videos about becoming the best version of me.

Stan is the best fitness guru that has stumbled in my life.

Why Bone Broth

My husband suffered from acid reflux, and on the weekends, he would pop tums like it was his job, especially on Saturday mornings. 

You see, it all started in college. My husband and (then boyfriend) would get pizza every Friday night, and then as we got older, we added a few drinks to go with it. So every Saturday morning, my husband will feast on yummy flavored Tums (Not….they are disgusting).

But after watching Stan’s videos, my husband has tucked those Tums away and he now warms up one cup of bone broth. He drinks that every morning and feels like a new man.

Then I began drinking bone broth.

When I saw how bone broth turned him around, I turned to Stan to see if it would help my digestive system and MOOD. 

It did the job.

My digestive system is in check, and baby, let me tell you about my mood! I don’t know why but I have always been a moody person, and folks tend to get on my nerves. However, I can now tolerate most humans. And I give fewer eyerolls.

After my weight lifting session, I’ve also noticed that my joint and muscle pain eases up quickly. I’m 45, and I used to wake up with a new pain every damn day. In fact, my husband and I would wake up every day and say to each other;

“What’s aching on your old crusty body today”?

Two warm cups of Bone Broth

Every morning I jump up out of bed, run like a bat out of hell to my frigidaire. I get out my bone broth and heat two cups. I slowly sip it and feel those nutrients running through my body. Okay, maybe I don’t run downstairs, but I do indeed walk swiftly.

Please let me know if you try it out and tell me how you feel after being consistent for a week!

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

    2. Hey, long time no see with all of your great posts and health remedies. This is great for you to know about. I personally have tried to make it and boil my bones for 2 to 4 days, but it ends up that all my water gets boiled out. The best bet ever is if you can find an organic butcher that makes it and it’s divine kind of like drinking at a tea shop only a bone shop lol.. hope you’re well. I’ve missed your posts… I’ll have to check in.💕

  2. Belladonna, this is a good find. I make my own broth around Thanksgiving or Christmas. After I finish with my whole turkey, I use the drippings from it, strip all of the meat off, and take all of the bones, add some water to it and boil the heck out of it. I add garlic, onions, and a little bit of ginger. That stuff will wipe out chest congestion, sore throats, etc. 😱 You can even freeze it if you need to for later. I still have two bags in my freezer from last year. If you want to use the turkey broth for other dishes, however, just strain the bones and other things from it and use it for soups, to sip on it to soothe the throat, and for other yummy dishes like ramen noodles. 😋

    You’re going old school there girlfriend! 😁 Those were some good natural, medicinal recipes we had growing up! You found yourself a winner there ladybug!!! 🏆 Glad to hear about the good results you got! 👍🏽 👩🏽‍🍳 👏🏽

    1. Okay now you have me ready for Thanksgiving dinner!!!!!! 🤣
      This stuff can have grow back a leg,arm or whatever else you need. LOL

      I love old school remedies because it was always made of natural things and it just made sense. Now a days there’s a pill for everything or medicine that doesn’t hit the issue to it’s entirety.

      1. Yeah, I know what you mean Belladona. I was brought up on old school remedies for a number of reasons, because there weren’t one million and one different pills to take for God only knows what. Plus, come to think of it, we were rarely sick or went to the doctor. Hmmmm…..

        I think you got the drift especially since you love to cook anyway…right??? 👩🏽‍🍳🍗🍽

      2. We weren’t ever sick either. That’s when parents and grandparents cooked instead of getting fast food all the time.

        Yes ma’am I love to cook and plus I like to budget and fast food is COSTLY!! Especially when trying to feed a full house😁

      1. I try to but it’s sort of a generational thing and since it does more good than harm I don’t discard it.

  5. Great post Belladonna.
    It’s amazing stuff and great for the bones etc. I bought it from an organic butcher that actually made it on site which was divine. I’m not a big fan of the ones that are frozen bottled, etc. but they do the same job. For the vegans reading,sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and go for the health benefits.

    1. Thank you Cindy! I like making my own bone broth but it takes a lot of time, but perhaps one day I’ll have the time it takes to make it.
      Yes it is so worth drinking. My husband and I heat up a big cup every morning. So good on the cold mornings.

  10. I drank a delicious bone broth from Damn Good Soup brand when I had a flare up of diverticulitis. It healed me like magic! I need to try to turn my husband on to that and go back to drinking it myself…but not first thing in the morning! I must have coffee, lol!

      1. Pretty much at that time my diet consisted of rice and carrots cooked in bone broth with applesauce and or a banna. Was drinking medicinal teas as well because i could not take medications at the time either.

      3. I’m a lot better, but i had aged about 10 years in that 9 weeks i was down. Went from looking like i was still 30s or 40s to looking like im in my 50s or 60s, still not quite up to par but im walking now and organs are functioning somewhat normal. It is what it is, gave me lots of time with God at the time and left me completely dependant on my wife and other family members for about 3 months. Its a long story and i think i posted about it at one time but cant remember

      5. It was pretty rough, had my organs shutting down and my legs and core muscles just quit all at once for no reason. Regular doctors couldn’t tell me what was going on and just sent me home to die. Had to find a natural healer and sandi did all kinds of research because I couldn’t take meds either. Supposedly it was allergies one of which was to corn.

      7. Absolutely she is, and with an allergy to corn, its in everything. Literally dow to the lubricant in food packaging. Had tiny pins put in my ear as experimental treatment i had to keep in for 3 weeks at a time. After the 3rd set i was able to stand at least and had to relearn how to walk again.

      14. I never thought it was, but now days no one wants to believe much things. Ive got a friend i was telling about it amd his response was, “come on Brad, you know I don’t believe in that voodoo magic crap”. SMH, it is what it is I guess.

  21. Oh I love bone broth and glad you highlighted the health benefits. I had a store that made it that went under and they made it for 4 days and it was brewing so you could shop and drink it. My friend makes an organically on her farm. That’s for the reminder… it’s on my list to buy! Today! ❤️🙏
