Better Than Botox Bone Broth
Guess what nutrients are needed to replenish your skin and fight signs of aging?
a.) Collagen
b.) Magnesium
c.) Protien
d.) Glycosaminoglycans
If you guessed “all of these” – you’re right! Your body requires all of these nutrients (and a
few more) in order to properly replenish skin and keep you looking young and radiant.
Rather than taking a handful of supplements every day, or trying to ascertain the exact
nutrient contents of your food, there is one simple way to get all of the nutrients your skin
needs – bone broth! Bone broth is packed full of age-busting nutrition: collagen, protein,
magnesium, calcium, amino acids such as glycine and proline, as well as glycosaminoglycans
such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. Talk about a power food!
On this note, I'm sharing recipes to nourish your bone marrow and support your skin
health, reverse signs of aging, and boost your overall health. Below is an easy recipe for chicken bone broth. Click HERE to access the Free Natural Beauty Resource Library and download my Bone Broth Guide containing recipes for Beef Broth and No-Bone Veggie Broth.
