You’ve probably heard that bone broth is all the rage right now (Rach points out that there are even NYC restaurants dedicated to it) -- but do you know why?

“If you think about wrinkles, they happen because the collagen begins to break down in our skin,” JJ explains. “Some research says [bone broth] will actually help you produce collagen from the inside out.”

“Some people run to get collagen creams and try to put it on their face,” JJ continues. “[But] you want to produce it from the inside.”

JJ actually drinks her broth straight out of a teacup! Plus, it curbs her appetite and prevents her from overeating in the afternoon.
