Bone marrow is a fatty, jello-like substance found in the core of bones. It’s a nutrient-dense and rich in energy substances that all types of animals are primarily drawn toward when they capture prey. Bone marrow fulfills many vital roles due to its high content of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and lipids (alkylglycerols). Bone marrow helps the immune system by carrying oxygen to cells in the body. It is one of the most effective remedies for the gut lining. Consuming bone marrow will help improve brain function, maintain healthy bones, support immune systems, and speed up the healing process of any injury or fracture.

UNBELIEVABLE HEALTH BENEFITS OF BONE MARROW

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

Bone marrow consists of mostly monounsaturated fat. It also contains less amount of polyunsaturated fat and conjugated linoleic acid which is known as a potent cancer inhibitor. Bone marrow is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids which is essential for the proper functioning of the brain. Bone marrow is also a good source of glycine, which is an amino used to make and repair other proteins in the body. Fatty acid deficiency can result in delayed wound healing, different types of skin problems, a weak immune system, etc.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS

One of the main qualities of bone marrow is that it contains important microelements: calcium, iron, phosphorous, zinc, selenium, magnesium, manganese, and other mineral-Laden chemicals. It also contains Vitamin A in its complete form. Moreover, in the bone marrow, these trace elements are already in the right condition and concentration for the body.

Shortage of such microelements can lead to anemia, weakening of the immune system responsible for protecting the body from infections and antigens, chronic fatigue and weakness, and development of cardiovascular and other heavy diseases. Pregnant women require a higher amount of these minerals and vitamins. Therefore, bone marrow strengthens immunity, improves the cardiovascular and renal system, stimulates hormonal secretion and sexual function of the organism, and improves memory, sleep, emotional mood, perception, comprehension, and instinctively conscious reflection of the person.

LIPIDS

Bone marrow contains alkylglycerols which are involved in the production of white blood cells in the bone marrow. They protect the body against infections and contribute to the health maintenance of cells under serious immune problems such as cancer. When a person has cancer, the level of alkylglycerols rises within tumor cells in order to control cell growth. Alkylglycerols can also be found in mothers’ milk.

If you buy conventionally raised animal products, you can end up with toxins that are normally stored in the fatty areas of bones such as bone marrow. It is essential to find bones from healthy 100% grass-fed animals such as beef, bison, lamb, and organically raised poultry.

Food Is Medicine.

Tyson Foods investing big in bug protein for new venture

The first bug-protein facility of its kind will be used to make food for pets, fish and livestockTyson Foods is partnering with a Dutch bug-protein company to bring insect farming to the U.S., using livestock waste as feed. Earlier this month, meat-producing giant Tyson Foods announced its investment in insect protein producer Protix and said it's partnering with the Netherlands-based company to build a facility in the U.S. that will raise insects. The bug protein won't be used for human consumption at this point. Instead, the facility will use animal waste from Tyson cattle to feed black soldier flies, which will then be processed into food for pets, livestock, and fish. "Today, we’re focused on more of an ingredient application with insect protein than we are on a consumer application," Tyson Foods CFO John R. Tyson said in an Oct. 17 statement.  Tyson Foods' minority stake in Protix will help the "leading insect ingredients company" fund its global expansion, according to the U.S. company's press release. The facility is expected to open in 2025, Tyson Foods told Fox News. "The insect lifecycle provides the opportunity for full circularity within our value chain, strengthening our commitment to building a more sustainable food system for the future," Tyson's CFO said. The venture aligns with a global shift toward alternative proteins and more sustainable food sources amid environmental concerns, since growing insects uses less water and land than traditional livestock, according to Tyson Foods. Additionally, feeding livestock waste to insects can help reduce the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere. "As one of the largest food companies in the world, we look to create value in what is not consumed as human food," a Tyson Foods spokesperson told Fox News. "We see the partnership with Protix as an extension of that." "No or low-footprint protein is the goal, and we see the partnership with Protix as another way to accelerate progress towards that goal," the spokesperson added. The black soldier fly "can grow on almost every type of food waste and byproduct you can imagine," Protix CEO Kees Aarts said.  The demand for insect protein could reach half a million metric tons by 2030—a significant increase from the existing market of 10,000 metric tons, according to a 2021 Rabobank report. https://www.foxnews.com/media/...
