Food Question?? - Nutrient ??

What foods are good for source for connective tissue nutrients? Stuff which can actually be used by the body to heal connective tissue like tendons?
I thought fish was one, but what parts, and what fish?

Any other foods or supplements?

Thanks!

ETA - What nutrients specifically should i be looking for?

Bone broth for collagen support direct to the joints.

Anti-inflammatory agents. If you like curry you can pack a lot of potent medicinals in. Turmeric, ginger, garlic, any capsicums, lemongrass, all have anti-inflammatory constituents.

Dr. Jim Duke has an ethnobotanical database that allows you to search for specific properties. It covers domestic plants and lots of wild medicinals. Since you aren't supposed to be a rancher right now you can learn some medicine.

Vitamin C.

It facilitates the building of collagen, which forms the framework for repairing connective tissue.

Pigs feet/legs and osso buco are also good sources of collagen.

Bone broth.

Basically stock until it turns to jell-o in the fridge.

Trotters and poultry feet are a good thing to add to your pot depending on which variety you're making - beef/pork or poultry.

Once you've simmered the heck out of it for a few days, start making soups and stews with it and use natural anti-inflammatories in those. Chilis are good because they use hot peppers. But the Asian spices are also really good for it.

At the butcher. I do not prefer the feet ( I suffer a bit from misophonia and my dad used to eat them and he ate everything but the bones... the cartilage would pop and crack as he ate them). I get fresh hocks and legs at the market.

Food: Homemade multi-source bone broth

Fatty fish and roe (sardines/anchovies, mackerel, salmon/salmon roe)
Organ meats (liver, kidney, brains), Suet
Pemmican (best survival food bar none, and you can make it yourself)

Supplements: Vitamin C + MSM

High doses, and C is needed by MSM for proper absorption

High dose MSM is near miraculous for joint pain, and when taken with C and proper nutriment (see above), can heal almost any/all bone/ligament/tendon problems.

Forget plant foods.

Yeppers, but, you need collagen from multiple sources - fish, poultry and beef - so you get all 5 types. Chicken feet and necks are best for poultry sources, large marrow bones, ox tails for beef. I haven't found a good source for fish bones for the fish side, but here is a good source for a high quality fish bone broth.

Gefilte fish comes with a fish jelly/stock. I think the best way to completely extract the bone nutrients is pickling. The bones kind of gel over time. All the old-timers would pickle their chain pickerel because they were so full of bones.

Add some pickled fish to your pickled pigs feet FCD. You'll be back to pitching in the majors in a week.
