Dr Jockers Comments:
This is an excellent recipe that is full of powerful nutrients. Lots of good fats in the coconut oil that help to provide immediate energy and blood sugar stability. I recommend for people to consume 1 tbsp. of medium chain fatty acids (the main fat in coconut oil and grass-fed butter/ghee) for every 50 lbs. of body weight each day for optimal health. This recipe will help you accomplish that goal in a tasty way!
Asparagus is high in anti-inflammatory nutrients such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin E, and the minerals zinc, manganese and selenium. It is also high in chromium, a trace mineral that helps insulin do its job transporting glucose. It’s also especially rich in glutathione, a detoxifying compound that can help destroy carcinogens. For this reason, asparagus may help fight or protect against certain cancers, including bone, breast, lung and colon cancers.
Bone broth has incredible health benefits that support the gut membrane, the joints, the immune system, hair and skin. The key nutrients in the broth are not easy to get from other food sources and they include collagen, gelatin, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, glycosamino glycans, proline, glycine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. These nutrients are considered beauty foods because they help the body with proper structural alignment and beautiful skin and hair.
You can find pasture-raised chicken from a local farmer or you can order the bones from US Wellness Meats. Pasture-raised chicken are chickens that were raised on natural grass eating insects and weeds without any grain-feeds. This concentrates essential fats and antioxidants into the bones and tissues of the animal.
