New research indicates that drinking bone broth could be\nbeneficial for your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bone broth is typically made by cooking the bones of an\nanimal in vinegar in order to release the nutrients found in the bones and\nconnective tissue. Some experts have claimed that bone broth can improve sleep,\nreduce inflammation, improve joint function and boost your skin\u2019s health. But\nbecause the collagen consumed through bone broth is broken down in the\ndigestive system, it seems hard to believe that it could help the skin or\njoints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this in mind, researchers set out to study the health\neffects of bone broth, particularly the amino acids and peptides produced as\nthe bone and connective tissue break down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research team looked at whether broth made from ham\nbones could be beneficial to the human heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They simulated cooking, as well as human digestion, and then\nlooked at the peptides that were produced to see if they could block four\ncertain enzymes associated with heart disease. You may recognize one of the\nenzymes\u2014ACE-1\u2014from the ACE-1 inhibitors that are given to patients to treat\nhigh blood pressure and inflammation-based heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The scientists were excited to find that the peptides\nproduced by the broken-down ingredients in the bone broth did, in fact, block\nthe enzymes related to heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the peptides were created under simulated\nconditions, the results seem to point to heart-health benefits in bone broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese results suggest that dry-cured ham bones [used in]\nstews and broths could have a positive impact on cardiovascular health,\u201d say\nthe researchers, \u201cand a possible reduction of high blood pressure for\nconsumers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While experts agree that more research is needed, it can\u2019t\nhurt to drink some bone broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results of the study were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Find out what new research determined regarding the health benefits of bone broth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13320,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[690],"tags":[951,723,827,732,719],"class_list":["post-13258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wellness","tag-bone-broth","tag-diet","tag-heart-health","tag-nutrition","tag-wellness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13258\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthymale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
