How much fibre do you eat daily?
It's likely that you're not getting enough. Our average intake in the UK is 18g a day, a lot less than the recommended 30g. In comparison, some tribes in the world eat up to 100g of fibre every day.
Is your skin showing signs of ageing, are wrinkles increasing and your skin is looking dull, losing elasticity, and becoming dry?
You might need to support your collagen production. Skin is the largest organ in the human body. Skin acts as a protective barrier from the outside world, shielding our internal organs and systems from harmful external factors like infections, trauma, sun (UVA) damage, or toxins.
Did you know that up to 35% of all body protein content is made up of one type of protein? This protein is a key component of our connective tissue – the most widely distributed tissue in the body, which binds, holds, supports and strengthens other body tissues, as well as insulates and protecting the organs. It makes up our ligaments, tendons, skin, joints, cartilage, bone and even the gut lining, blood vessels and our teeth!
It is, therefore, absolutely vital to the health and proper integrity and function of ALL body tissues and organs.
