What many people now call “bone broth” is something Indian homes have quietly been making for decades.
Chicken yakhni. Mutton soup. Slow-cooked stock.
Different names, same idea.
When bones are simmered for hours, they release collagen along with amino acids like glycine and proline. Your body breaks these down during digestion and uses them wherever they’re needed, including making collagen.
A review in Nutrients suggests collagen peptides may improve skin hydration and elasticity in some people, although researchers say more long-term studies are still needed.
So no, bone broth isn’t magic.
But it is nourishing, comforting and full of nutrients that your body can use.
That’s reason enough to enjoy a bowl.
Eggs Deserve More Credit Than They Get
People often assume only fancy foods help your skin.
That’s simply not true.
An ordinary egg is one of the best sources of high-quality protein you can eat.
And protein matters because collagen itself is made from amino acids.
Eggs also provide nutrients like selenium and biotin that support healthy skin and hair.
The best part is they’re easy to fit into daily life.
Maybe it’s an omelette before work.
Maybe it’s egg bhurji with roti.
Or maybe it’s two boiled eggs after the gym.
You don’t have to change your entire diet to eat well.
