1.2 Bone Broth and Fermented Foods
I was watching PBS one morning and a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Kelly Anne, was talking about immune disease and she basically disguised a eating plan as a weight loss strategy that can treat immune disorders.
She talked about a 21 day protocol to reboot your gut and develop the conditions where healthy gut bacteria could thrive. I modified her program to fit my lifestyle, what I took away from her program was that you should:
- Eat an animal protein at every meal
- Consume bone broth once a day
- Consume a fermented food once a day
She also said to remove grains from your diet as there is no daily allowance of grains that your body actually needs. I did not quite catch this point the first time through.
I started making my own bone broth, it is really simple.
- Take a handful of bones, beef, fish, turkey, chicken, whatever, put in a slow cooker
- Add two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
- Add vegetables, perhaps fruit, spices
- Boil for 12 to 24 hours
- Strain and freeze
Benefits of Bone Broth
- Rich in Minerals
- Intestinal Anti-inflammatory
- Rich in Collagen
- Feeds the immune system
Benefits of Fermented Foods
- A source of healthy bacteria for the gut
- More effective than a probiotic supplement because it is a source of food for the healthy bacteria.
