Drink Dem Bones

Friday, April 29, 2011

CrossFitters tend to follow a Paleo style of eating; lots of grass-fed meat, fresh fish, veggies, nuts, plants, moderate amounts of fruit, very little starch, no processed food. This is how our ancestors ate and they virtually never died of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. 

While doing some more research on Paleo today, I stumbled upon this amazing article in Marks Daily Apple that talks about cooking bones and drinking the broth. Turns out that this practice has been going on with virtually every culture since the beginning of time and is extremely beneficial in helping the human body maintain and (even re-build) strong bones and cartilage. Being that the majority of people that I talk to these days seem to have joint issues, this is something worth looking in to.

Check it out and then get outside and enjoy this weekend...it looks like it's going to be AWESOME!!
