Recently, we brought you an article on how bone broth can help heal an aching and damaged leaky gut.
In case you missed the article, here are the broad strokes:
The gelatin, broken down from the cartilage in the bones, feeds the mucous lining of the stomach.
Broth is easier to digest than solid food, so your gut can take some time off of work, replenish, and heal itself.
The amino acids in bone broth help to fight and reduce inflammation, ideal for people with gut pain.
So we know it’s good for you and we know that it can help repair intestinal cracks and strengthen the integrity of the gut lining.

For example, could he have known that the gut contains 10 times more bacteria responsible for regulating your health than the rest of the body?
Or that the bacterial transfer that occurs at birth affects the diversity of your microbiome (collection of gastro-intestinal bacteria in the digestive tract) for life?
Is it possible that he knew the root cause of bacteria destruction in the gut flora also weakens the gut barrier and leads to leaky gut, diverticulitis, and other disorders?
Maybe not. But he was on the right track.
The Japanese call it “Manpo-kei” — literally, 10,000 steps meter.
Since the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, when all of Japan was rigidly focused on fitness, both individual and collective, there has been a pervasive theory among fitness gurus that 10,000 steps is necessary as a base line to maintain proper health. Any exercise beyond 10,000 steps is simply extra.
10,000 steps, by the way, is about 5 miles.
