There is an expression, long overheard in Latin American kitchens, that sums up the mystical power of a good broth.

“Good broth resurrects the dead,” the saying goes.

The word “dead” also pretty much sums up what many people thought Kobe Bryant’s career was after the aging Los Angeles Lakers star suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon — a potentially career-ending injury for a player his age — and then fractured a knee during an eight-month stretch in 2013. And yet, this season, at the age of 36, Bryant not only returned, he thrived (at least before injuring his shoulder Wednesday), averaging 22.3 points per game (ninth best in the NBA) on a pair of legs that have logged more than 46,000 minutes on NBA hardwood.

An article on the Lakers diet - they push butter, bacon and bone broth.

The nutrition program, designed by Dr. Cate Shanahan and implemented by Lakers strength and conditioning coach “Grass-fed” Tim DiFrancesco, places a heavy emphasis on good fats because, according to the two, it’s the most efficient source of energy for the body. From an interview with DiFrancesco last July: “Contrary to what people might think, we actually want our players to eat as much grass fed butter and bacon as we can get into them.”

Another pillar in the Lakers’ diet is bone broth (marrow bones and bones from cartilage-rich areas like joints and knuckles simmered in water with aromatics for 12-plus hours), which helps fortify the tendons and ligaments. It’s Kobe-approved.

A question for the forum - nothing says I can't make bone broth with bones andbacon to give it some flavor right? That was how I stumbled across these articles, I was thinking of adding bacon
