Bone broth as a whole food provides cooked collagen in the form of gelatin (gut-soothing) and includes an easily absorbed mineral composition as well as essential fatty acids (including conjugated linoleic acid which is found in grass-fed meats, bones and dairy and has been shown to support weight loss and strong anti-cancer and immunity boosting components).

Estimates for dementia in those 85 and over range from 30-47%. Did you know women account for nearly 2 out of 3 cases. There are a number of triggers for dementia - things we can avoid and ways to improve our brain. In fact, the field of cognitive neuroscience is leading the research on how we can regenerate brain cells and the brain can in fact repair itself through lifestyle and...
