Health Benefits of Eating Chicken Feet

One of the all-time favorite Pinoy street food you can find anywhere here in the Philippines is the so-called “adidas” or barbequed chicken feet. It’s an acquired taste to be sure and many people either really like it or don’t.

According to fans of the street food, the feet are one of the best parts of the chicken because it’s tastier and more delicious – especially when bought from the street. Aside from being tasty and delicious, chicken feet surprisingly also have health benefits as well.

Aside from the benefits mentioned above, a high amount of collagen is found in chicken feet – based on a study by the Faculty of Veterinary Science of Chung Hsing University in Taiwan. These levels of collagen can also be found in fruits and green leafy vegetables.

Collagen is beneficial to the body because it supports the faster transformation of dead skin into a new skin. It also helps in maintaining skin health by assisting the body in absorbing calcium and protein. This, in turn, makes the body healthier. The collagen in “adidas” helps heighten the production of blood cells because it helps strengthen the structure of the blood vessels. Collagen is also a great aid if you wanna lost weight since it raises the body’s metabolism.

The collagen in chicken’s feet also helps strengthen our bone structure which prevents any fragility caused by bone diseases.

A chicken foot is mostly composed of bones, tendons, and skin – so it’s full of calcium, cartilage, and protein. These nutrients are easily absorbed by the body and are needed to prevent any weakening of the bones. Say goodbye to brittle bones and joint issues if you love to dine on chicken feet.

It truly will make a great difference soon – especially if you’re advanced in age!

As you can see, chicken feet is indeed beneficial to our body because of all these great benefits. That chewy and delicious street snack actually helps our body to be healthy.
