Good broth will resurrect the dead


A South American proverb claims "Good broth will resurrect the dead." While that's clearly an exaggeration, chicken soup has enjoyed a reputation as "Jewish penicillin" and bone broths are served to convalescents all over the world. In this presentation,

Dr. Daniel in the youtube video below reviews the science that supports consuming bone broth for healthy bones, joints, skin, digestion, immunity and emotional stability.

She discusses the 19th and early 20th century studies on gelatin, as well as recent investigations into the "conditionally essential" amino acids proline, glycine and glutamine and "the essential sugars" N-Acetylglucosamine and N-Acetylgalactosamine.

Finally, she will report on Dr. John F. Prudden's clinical trials healing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's, and even cancer with cartilage.

In short, much science supports the ancestral wisdom of consuming bone broth.

Pistachios - eliminates dry skin, have aphrodisiac properties, ease constipation

Eliminates Skin Dryness
Pistachios also help in eliminating dryness from the skin. The saturated fat plays a major role in this aspect. The fat also acts as a good carrier or base oil as it is used as an ingredient in traditional therapies like aromatherapy and traditional massage therapy.

Aphrodisiac Properties
According to research conducted by Aldemir et al (2011), pistachios greatly influence sexual vitality in men. Studies have shown that those men who had a daily intake of about 100 grams of pistachios for three weeks improved their erectile function by around 50 percent. This was confirmed with ultrasound scans of blood flow in the penis.

Haemoglobin And Blood
Vitamin B6 is the protein that helps in carrying oxygen in the blood. The high quantity of B6 in pistachios if taken daily can increase the oxygen quantity in the blood and increase the haemoglobin count in it (4).

Healthy Brain 
Vitamin B6, that is present in high quantity in pistachios helps in increasing the haemoglobin count in the blood. This oxygen rich blood is then supplied to the brain making it even more active (8).
I discovered that pisctacios may also diminish diarrhea - I have it often with Crohns disease. With Crohns disease I am mindful to chew it very well so it doesn't irritate my intestines. Note though that I've not had a problem digesting pistachios. I elaborated on that for those with chones. ... the central point of my comment is that I noticed that I have good formed stools after eating pistachios
