🌶 Tomorrow I take off on a two-week adventure but I woke up feeling slightly under the weather so I will be immune boosting ALL DAY.
Right now I’m drinking #BONEBROTH
Bone broth is a soup made from boiling healthy cattle, poultry, or fish bones and connective tissue with herbs and spices for 10-24 hours. The result is a nutrient dense soup that has wonderful effects on the #immunesystem , #hearthealth , and #digestion .
🧞‍♀️
Although bone broth can be found in many cultures, it has a very strong roots in #Chinesemedicine where it was used as a digestive aid, blood builder, and kidney strengthener.
Bone broth is not only good for your vital detoxification organs, it also is a beauty food as it is rich in gelatin, collagen, amino acids, and protein - not to mention that it is a great anti-inflammatory.
If you aren’t as lucky as me to have a best friend who will bring you Tupperware containers of broth, you can buy it at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or any health food store. I always buy organic and look for one with not too much added salt.
Sip slow and happy healing... 💛🌶 @healthgeenie #QuarantineShot #WithJay

    🌶 Last week I had the pleasure of attending the DC Premier of the @natgeodoc @firstwavefilm with a group of my Global Health Law friends and colleagues. The documentary chronicled the first 4-months of Covid-19 in New York City by following people who contracted Covid-19 and the healthcare workers who took care of them, all in one of the hardest hit hospitals.

    I won’t lie to you guys, it was a really intense documentary. I was crying within the first 5 minutes and didn’t stop crying until it was over.
    It’s weird to admit but I forgot how truly terrifying the first few months of Covid were and the movie resurfaced a lot of feelings and fears that I realize I haven’t fully processed.
    The film is well done and raw. Artsy and also authentic. It’s both sad and inspired.
    It also feels unfinished. I think that’s half because we are still in the pandemic and half because stories like this never really end. We will tell our grand children about this era. We all will have “because of Covid” stories.

    Thanks so much to the friends I had the pleasure of spending the evening with, the new friends I made there, and to the team that chose to tell the story in this way.
    Stay safe, wear your mask, get vaccinated, and check out @firstwavefilm !!

    P.S. What an insane time to be studying Global Health Law 😵‍💫🤯 @healthgeenie #QuarantineShot #WithJay
