Why Shailene Woodley Eats Bone Broth for Breakfast
Published at
Jeffrey R. Staab/CBS(NEW YORK) — Shailene Woodley is known as much for her natural way of life as she is for her movie roles.
On Monday night, the Divergent Series: Insurgent star discussed the benefits of bone broth with David Letterman on his Late Show.
The 23-year-old actress explained that she eats a little bit of bone broth — boiled bones and other animal parts — in the morning.
“What I think is beautiful about it is you utilize the whole animal. You’re not just seeking out that perfect cut of muscle meat,” she said.
Woodley said bone broth can help with “leaky gut,” or, as she described it, “tiny little holes in your intestine,” causing substances to leak into the bloodstream.
Woodley mentioned that she eats clay as well — something she’s brought up in past interviews — to clean heavy metals out of her system. When Letterman asked her whether she eats clay with bone broth, she laughed and joked, “I just make my freak concoction that everyone thinks is weird and eat it.”
Insurgent opens this Friday.
