Welcome! MaxLove Project's Broth Bank Collective Did you know the top three ingredients in the packaged "broth" served in most children's hospitals are salt, monosodium glutamate, and hydrogenated cottonseed oil? This isn't grandma's broth, that's for sure! Organic therapeutic restorative broth, with its blend of gut and jointhealing amino acids, provides nutrientpacked, kidfriendly nourishment in the hospital. Our goal here at MaxLove Project is to encourage the use of Fierce Foods both inside and outside of the hospital. We believe that our food can be our medicine. Nourishing broth should be your child’s healing drink to improve immune system, heal gastrointestinal tract, stop chemotherapy associated diarrhea, prevent and stop muscle wasting, replete low supplies of amino acids, and to support growing or damaged bones. Each week MaxLove Project purchases at least 60 quarts of organic bone broth from local artisan chef, Electric City Butcher of Santa Ana, distributing directly to families in cancer treatment and survivorship at Children’s Hospital of Orange County and in southern California. Now, thanks to our friends at Bare Bones Broth, MaxLove Project will have the opportunity to distribute therapeutic bone broths to families across the United States. We dream of the day when standardofcare treatment for every child fighting cancer and related lifethreatening illnesses will include organic therapeutic restorative broth every day to help them fight and thrive. The ways in which nourishing broth can speed recovery, restore appetite, and aid the body’s own healing potential are generally underestimated and underutilized. Thanks to our friends Ryan and Kate Harvey of Bare Bones Broth we're able to provide this wonderful and informative broth resource to MaxLove Project SuperFamilies. Thrive on! ~ Team MaxLove 1 Five Reasons to cook with Bone Broth by Ryan and Kate Harvey 1. It’s easy. • Bone broth is simple to make and very difficult to mess up. If you have a slow cooker or stockpot and 30 to 45 minutes, you have all you need to begin reaping the benefits of broth. 2. It’s fun. • Just like it’s fun to can your own pickles or make your own bread, there is something deeply pleasurable and satisfying about creating this simple, rustic food. There's something to be said for the connection we feel to our heritage when standing over a pot of simmering bone broth. 3. It’s downright good for you. • Bone broth contains the building blocks of life in a form our bodies can readily and easily absorb, including arginine, glycine, proline, glucosamine, and, of course, loads of gelatin. 4. It’s responsible and sustainable. • It’s responsible not only to use the entire animal but also to get as much out of it as we can. By using parts of the animals that are generally discarded, we are supporting responsible and sustainable food pathways. 5. It makes everything taste better. • From flavor to mouthfeel and texture, stocks and bone broth bring more pleasure to eating while avoiding unnecessary additives. These extra dimensions will take any dish to the next level. 2 The New Multivatamin Bone Broth is a nutritional powerhouse! We’ve heard from dozens of customers that they learned about our company from a doctor, nutritionist, or dietitian. That’s probably because bone broth, long regarded as a natural medicine, contains proteins and minerals essential for everything from beating the common cold to speeding recovery from injuries. In fact, a 2010 study conducted at the University of Mosul College of Medicine found that bone broth, with its complex combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, significantly improved the speed and quality of bone healing. Broth is also packed with minerals and amino acids that fuel your body to rebuild stronger less, thus boosting immunity. So it turns out your grandma wasn’t so far off base when she encourage you to eat a nice big bowl of chicken soup to cure everything that ailed you, from the flu to a broken arm. She recognized bone broth for the miracle worker that it is. Only recently have the rest of us begun to fully embrace this ancient remedy as a cure for modern ailments. Bone broth’s health benefits are both immediate and long term. Because it’s packed with protein, it serves as the ultimate energy drink and postworkout recovery beverage for weekend warriors and pro athletes alike. As the foundation of healthy lifestyle, broth has been shown to reduce inflammationan underlying cause of some of the most prevalent diseases of the twentyfirst century, such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and heart disease. Bone broth’s high doses of collagen also make it more powerful than any anti aging product or beauty cream, promoting youngerlooking skin, healthier hair, stronger bones and nails, and smoother joints. THE NEW MULTIVITAMIN Have you ever read the ingredients list on the back of your multivitamin bottle? Then you’re probably already familiar with a lot of the words you’re about to see. Bone broth is a veritable foodbased multivitamin that’s loaded with good things your body craves. Here are just a few: Glycosaminoglycans are described by Dr. Cate Shanahan in her book Deep Nutrition as “very special molecules that keep our joints health.” Three of these compounds are prevalent in bone broth. Glucosamine is widely used as a supplement to treat arthritis and help patients recover from injuries and surgery. Hyaluronic Acid is naturally present in the human body, but studies have shown we can benefit from it as a supplement to treat osteoarthritis and mouth sores to heal wounds and burns. Chondroitin Sulfate can significantly reduce arthritis pain and increase joint mobility for people suffering from arthritis, according to a 2003 task force report by the European League Against Rheumatism. It’s sold in dietary supplements, and is approved and regulates as a symptomatic slowacting drug for osteoarthritis in Europe and elsewhere. 3 Electrolytes are electrically charged particles that keep our bodies functioning normally and play a key role in keeping us hydrated by balancing the water inside and outside our cells. Electrolytes are abundant in broth. Calcium, the most plentiful mineral found in the human body, is one of the electrolytes also abundant in bone broth. Most of us know that calcium helps our bodies build stronger bones and teeth, but it also aids in clotting blood, sending and receiving nerve signals, supporting muscle function, releasing hormones, and maintaining a normal heartbeat. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It also strengthens our bones, helps our nerves and muscles to confront normally, boosts the immune system, and keeps our hearts beating steadily, all while aiding in energy production. Magnesium also helps regulate our blood sugar levels. Phosphorus, a building block for our bones and teeth, also aids in kidney function, muscle contractions, steadying the heartbeat, and nerve signaling. This powerful electrolyte plays a role in using and storing carbohydrates and fats, and for making the protein essential to grow, build, and repair cells. Phosphorous is especially helpful in developing our connective tissues. Silicon, not to be confused with silicone, the group of materials that resemble plastic, is a mineral often used as a supplement to help strengthen weak bones, treat heart diseases, and support the cardiovascular system. It’s also helpful in healing skin and sprains and in treating digestive disorders. Collagen, the most abundant protein in our bodies, is often referred to as the “glue” that holds us together. It is most commonly found in the skin, bones, arteries, and connective tissues, providing structural support and a degree of elasticity that makes our bodies incredibly resilient. Collagen is what makes our skin strong and elastic, and is vital in replacing dead skin cells. It’s especially helpful in healing wounds more quickly and revitalizing the skin. Studies have even shown that ingesting the collagen found in bone broth can reduce the harmful effects of sun exposure. Gelatin is the food term people us for collagen. It is the most visible indicator of the nutrients you will extract from animal bones and cartilage when making bone broth. Most of us are familiar with JellO, and properly prepared bone broth should gel similarly when cooled. Gelatin is a wellknown treatment for brittle nails, among other things. Amino acids, the twentytwo compounds vital to proper function, are often referred to as the building blocks of life. Many of the proteins found in bone broth actually turn into these amino acids when we’re digesting them. 4 Bone broth is rich in two especially important amino acids: Proline, which helps our bodies repair tissue, form collagen, keep arteries clear and elastic, and maintain health blood pressure. Glycine, the secondmost prevalent amino acid found in human enzymes, and proteins, is highly concentrated in our skin, connective tissue, and muscles. As a simple amino acid, glycine is necessary in the manufacturing of other amino acids. It’s an important aid in essential processes such as digestion, regulating good sugar, and transmitting nerve impulses. Because it helps keep skin and connective tissue firm and flexible, glycine is a powerful antiaging weapon.
