vegetables (4 carrots, 3 parsley, 1/2 celery, 1 onion)

3 liters of water

4 bay leaves

a few grains of allspice

salt

She drank collagen broth for a week. She did not expect such results
Before starting her challenge, Katie Bressack consulted nutritionist Erika Jacobson to ask if such a dietary modification was safe.
There is a limited amount of research on the effects of bone broth itself, but the ingredients it contains may offer some health benefits that come with regular consumption.
– she said.
Katie herself, after a week of challenge, admitted that she loves this precious drink, and the effects exceeded her expectations. She also noticed many positive changes, such as improved digestion. The broth also made her feel full.
I also didn’t need an afternoon snack because the broth I drank gave me a feeling of satiety.
– she betrayed.
Another change she noticed was an increase in energy, as well as much better hydration. Even after training, Katie did not feel very thirsty, which had often happened to her before. The nutritionist confirmed her observations.
Drinking bone broth is a great way to stay hydrated and energized. This is due to the minerals contained in the broth, such as: sodium, magnesium, iron, zinc and potassium.
says Erika.
Can anyone drink collagen broth?
Nutritionist Erika Jacobson emphasizes that collagen broth is not a remedy for all health problems and should absolutely not be the basis of the diet, but only an addition. If we do not eat healthy every day, even broth will not help.
