Tart and Fresh Grapefruit Gelatin
Traditional cultures ate gelatin and/or bone broth at every meal but it has fallen out of favor in our fast food culture. Gelatin is very high in minerals so it helps with healthy skin as well as strong bones, nails and hair. It has a plumping effect from collagen that reduces the appearance of cellulite and wrinkles. It also helps detox impurities from the liver which helps fat burning capability.
Gelatin has many amino acids which are very helpful for brain neurotransmitters. Glycine is one of these proteins that is plentiful in gelatin that helps boost mood and sound sleep. Gelatin also provides the raw materials that are key to healing an inflamed and leaky gut/digestive tract.
