Real Life Captured #64: Quatro Manzanas Mercado, Guayaquil Ecuador! Part Two (13 photos)

My vegan Steemit friends. Warning! This market may be your worst nightmare! But, it's real life and it's been captured to share with all! This market is just a few blocks from where I was staying in Guayaquil Ecuador. So I was visiting this place about once or twice a week.

I purchased mostly fruit and vegetables there, but several times I bought beef bones for soup. I like to make beef bone soup and it's very healthy. It's good for your digestive system and high in collagen; the stuff that our body makes less and less of over time and keeps our skin youthful and elasticy!

Basically collagen is the closest thing I know to the fountain of youth when it comes to nutrition. With less collagen in our bodies we get old and wrinkly much faster. When we eat collagen it's like anti-wrinkle cream applied from the inside! The best form of collagen that I know of is found in bone broth soup. Primarily beef, but any animals bones including chicken and fish are full of this stuff.

So spent a lot of time hanging out in my hotel room this month with bones just boiling away as I got work done on my computer. At fifty cents a pound this is good medicine that costs less than 0.1 steem! So come along and let's have a look at this slaughter house of a market where I buy my bones!
