Khaberni - Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common diseases of the digestive system among people, and it can cause annoyance and discomfort, and hinder the individual from performing daily tasks normally. Although medical solutions play an effective role in this case, natural treatments cannot be ignored.
In this regard, Dr. Hala Askar, a consultant in therapeutic nutrition, advises consuming fat-free bone broth to alleviate and eliminate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
What are the benefits of consuming bone broth for patients with irritable bowel syndrome?
Fat-free bone broth is a good option for patients with irritable bowel syndrome, as it can support gut health, thanks to its content of gelatin and amino acids, which have an effective role in healing the gut lining and reducing inflammation.
Fat-free bone broth is among the easily digestible foods, which help in regulating bowel movements, and facilitate digestion and excretion processes, and reduce the likelihood of chronic constipation. Therefore, it might alleviate some of the symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome.
What are the benefits of bone broth for health in general? Bone broth contains many nutrients that bring benefits to health, when consumed in moderation without overindulgence, including:
1- Enhancing bone and joint health Bone broth is known for its ability to improve bone and joint health, and prevent chronic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, thanks to its good content of collagen, gelatin, as well as calcium and phosphorus.
2- Supporting immune system health Bone broth contains a high level of antioxidants, which can support immune system health, combat free radicals, and reduce the likelihood of chronic diseases.
3- Enhancing skin and complexion health A high level of collagen is present in bone broth, which can improve skin elasticity and appearance, and reduce wrinkles and signs of aging.
