You may have noticed we’re a tad obsessed with gelatin around there (heck, we’ve even just released a second book about gut-lovin’ desserts!).
But you might be asking… what’s all the fuss about? From clearer skin to a better mood, here are 5 reasons you may want to eat more gelatin.
1. If your gut needs some lovin’.
Gelatin is a wonder weapon for gut health. It can help heal tired linings by boosting acid production and restoring the mucosal lining of your intestines. Which allows the trillions of good bacteria living in there to keep doing their thang!
2. If your skin is looking older than you are.
From pimples to wrinkles, gelatin can help keep your skin clean, clear and under control.
It contains the essential amino acid proline, which is used by the body to repair connective tissues, produce collagen and improve the texture of skin. Cool!
3. If you have trouble sleeping.
Research shows that the amino acid glycine (found in gelatin) can enhance sleep quality, reduce daytime sleepiness and even improve memory. Okay you convinced us, we WILL take an after dinner “Watermelon” Bite!
4. If you’re constipated.
You probably know we take our bathroom habits, signs and symptoms very seriously. And as it turns out, gelatin can help with all sorts of poo problems!
Gelatin acts as a naturally binding agent by fusing with water to sweep things more quickly through the digestive tract… and right on out of there!
5. If you keep catching colds.
As dietician and IQS expert Natalie Bourke says, “If your gut lining and microbiome is compromised, then so is your immune system”.
Good thing for us – and for our gut – that gelatin helps heal the gut lining and replenish the intestinal mucosa, thus improving our immune system. And just in time for winter too, phew!
