Animal protein from meat is an important part of a healthy diet. But many of us overlook further using the animal bones to provide additional healing properties. Simmering animal bones over an extended amount of time helps extract minerals, collagen, and other important nutrients into a broth. Bone broth can then be used as stock for other soups or ingested itself to improve health.
