Yes, it would a bit... but I wouldn't eat the actual feet or comb. A soup with those in it would be okay as long as they are very clean and you can verify that there aren't diseases or any of the bad stuff in them.
The chicken feet wouldn't have too much of a benefit (not much cartilage in them), but the rooster's comb is a good source of Hyaluronic Acid, which helps to lubricate the joints. Also, if you put the breast bone into the pot the soup is being made in, you can get some added benefit because the sternal cartilage is a good source of collagen that can help with joint health.
Alternately, you could also buy these in supplement form so you wouldn't have to drink as much soup or have to go through the hassle of preparing it... but it's up to you where you get it from. Good luck!

Try Knox Gelatin for joints.

ReplyDeleteI think this article would be of real interest to you as these supplements are expensive. In fact, I had forgotten about hyaluronic acid and I might try this myself as my knees are real bad lately.
