Since I first started Boil and Broth, I wanted to help people find wellness again. The products I made for myself helped to transform my health. The focus was, and has been since, my gut health. Now when I am unwell, I ask myself what’s going on in my gut and how can I give my immune system a boost. The products we make are always our go-to foods for when any of us are feeling unwell. Our products do different things, so that’s why it’s important to understand their function.
- Bone broth is renowned for inflammation reduction. Chicken broth has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation in the upper respiratory tract, so it is our recommendation if you are battling with an acute illness.Broths in general contain amino acids extracted from the bones, these amino acids can support different functions in your body. For example, chondroitin and glucosamine are two of the amino acids found in bone broth. It is widely known that these two amino acids support joint and ligament health. This is particularly important to understand when you are suffering from conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and any other auto-immune disease that attacks the joint functions of your body. Other proteins in the broth such as glycine can also assist in inflammation reduction [1]
- Water kefir juice. Essentially this drink is the same as your milk kefir products. Milk kefir uses the sugars in milk to ferment, whereas water kefir juice uses sugars that are added to the water and kefir grains for fermentation. Both these products produce CO2 and natural bacteria; species known to be beneficial to gut health. In your gut lies 70% of your immune system. These bacteria work with other microbes and organisms to communicate about the general running of the immune system. If there are too many harmful bacteria, then these will kill of beneficial bacteria causing an imbalance to the gut microbiome, having a direct impact on your immune system. Therefore, focusing on building up your beneficial gut microbes and then growing them, can improve your overall health. You can do this simply by including fermented foods and drinks in your diet. Our kefir water is a great option when you are reducing dairy in your diet. It’s a delicious drink and low in sugar (the sugar is broken down to produce CO2, so it’s naturally carbonated).
