Is drinking bone broth good for you? Experts weigh in?
喝骨頭湯真的有益健康嗎?
While bone broth can provide some beneficial nutrients, experts don't view the popular beverage as vital addition to your wellness regime.
雖然骨湯可以提供一些有益的營養物質,但專家們認為這種流行飲食并不是健康必需品。
Is drinking bone broth good for you?
喝骨頭湯對有好處嗎?
Made by simmering animal bones in water for a long time with vegetables, spices and sometimes other ingredients like apple cider vinegar, bone broth can be "part of the puzzle, but is not a quick fix," Laura Ligos, a registered dietitian nutritionist and specialist in sports dietetics says.
注冊營養師和運動營養學專家勞拉·利戈斯說,將動物骨頭與蔬菜、香料和其他食材一起在水中長時間燉煮,可以“有一定營養,但不是靈丹妙藥”。
"The goal is to help to pull out important nutrients from the bones, like collagen, gelatin, amino acids like glycine as well as minerals like calcium and magnesium," she says. "It's these nutrients that are extracted from the bones that have been shown to be helpful with gut, skin, hair, and nail health and there is some truth to that. That being said, we need more than just bone broth to be able to improve overall health."
她說:“(骨頭湯)能促使骨骼中的重要營養物質被提取出來,如膠原蛋白、明膠、甘氨酸等氨基酸以及鈣和鎂等礦物質。這些營養物質已被證明有助于腸道、皮膚、頭發和指甲的健康,這是有一定道理的。話雖這么說,我們需要的不僅僅是骨湯來改善整體健康。”
Benefits of bone broth include providing humans with certain nutrients from the connective tissue and meat of the bones, which in turn can aid in strengthening of muscle and bones, explains Jenna Litt, a registered dietitian at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
紐約萊諾克斯山醫院的注冊營養師詹娜·利特解釋說,骨湯的益處包括提供來自結締組織和骨頭肉的某些營養物質,這反過來又有助于增強肌肉和骨骼。
"Specifically, bone broth is rich in collagen and certain vitamins and minerals, such as, iron, fat-soluble vitamins, zinc and other trace minerals. Collagen and fat-soluble vitamins are known to improve hair, skin and nail health," she adds.
"具體來說,骨湯富含膠原蛋白和某些維生素和礦物質,例如,鐵、脂溶性維生素、鋅和其他微量元素。眾所周知,膠原蛋白和脂溶性維生素可以改善頭發、皮膚和指甲健康,"她補充說。
Currently there is not enough research to support the benefits or detriments of bone broth on gut health, Litt says.
利特說,目前還沒有足夠的研究來支持骨湯對腸道健康的影響。
Do I need bone broth in my diet?
我需要喝骨湯嗎?
The short answer? No.
簡短的回答:不需要。
While almost anyone can try it, Ligos says it's important to zoom out and look at the big picture when thinking about nutrition.
雖然幾乎任何人都可以嘗試,但利戈斯說,在考慮營養問題時,重要的是要放眼全局。
"There likely isn't one food item that's going to be the golden ticket to our health. It's a combination of things that we do that can support our health over the long haul. Bone broth can certainly be a part of that — but not the only part of that."
"沒有一種食品會成為我們健康的金鑰匙。保持健康需要多管齊下。骨湯當然可以成為其中的一部分,但不是唯一的一部分"。
For example, if you're interested in improving skin, nail and hair health, simply increasing protein intake in your diet has been shown to yield results, Litt says, pointing out that "the use of bone broth is not required."
利特說,例如,如果你對改善皮膚、指甲和頭發健康感興趣,只需在飲食中增加蛋白質攝入量就能產生效果,并指出"不一定是喝骨湯"。
