HOW TO MAKE PROTEIN LEMON SLUSHY
Did you know 1/3 of your body is made up of collagen? And that after menopause, collagen declines in a rapid rate so bumping your collagen intake up before you lose it is very helpful for skin, hair and nails! That is why I am SO excited for Further Food’s NEW Lemon Collagen!
There have been many studies showing a wide range of benefits from collagen. You get a lot of glycine from collagen. THIS STUDY showed that the glycine derived from collagen is essential to maintain the normal structure and strength of connective tissue, such as bones, skin, cartilage, and blood vessels. Many other studies have shown benefits ranging form immune health, digestive health, bone strength and much more. It also greatly benefits the skin and reduced wrinkles and aging. Smoking reduces collagen synthesis and that is why smokers have more wrinkles.
Another important benefit of collagen is that it is the second most ferment-able substrate behind FOS (fructooligosaccharides). This study showed that collagen is great for feeding our gut flora, much better than almost any plant fiber (collagen is 7.96 where plant fiber is 1.53). So the push for feeding the gut flora with lots of plant fiber is really not needed. Just add some collagen.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN:
- Can help with skin elasticity and aging. This means when losing a lot of weight it can help the skin shrink better, reduce wrinkles and cellulite
- It can help strengthen hair and reduce hair loss
- Improves joint health
- Builds bone strength
- Contains 18 amino acids that help muscle and ligament repair and recovery
- Contains glycine that helps with immune system health and helps with digestion

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“I have been hesitant to post these photos. I have gone back and forth about it for a week. However, with all these Ozempic commercials I keep seeing lately, I feel like it is important to show people that you CAN loose body fat naturally, without those injections, quick fix supplements, starving yourself, stomach stapling procedures, or over exercising. I have been struggling with inflammation, fatigue, swelling, Lymphedema, Lipedema, Hormone Imbalance, Severe Endometriosis, Pre-diabetic Blood Sugar levels, extremely low Thyroid, low Testosterone, and Chronic Lyme Disease, since at least my 20’s.
Following a clean high fat Keto diet alone, without tracking anything, addressed many of those concerns, but my body fat composition and energy levels still weren’t optimal. My fat loss was extremely slow until I finally broke down and calculated my Macros, using a free calculator tool from a keto nutritionist I follow on Facebook, @Keto-Adapted Maria Emmerich. I had always been resistant to doing that in the past, but nothing else seemed to be working. This is when most people get discouraged and say “KETO doesn’t work for me anymore”.
Once I calculated the numbers for my age, height, and activity level, and started tracking, I realized the protein levels I had been consuming were way too low and my fat levels had been too high, for fat loss. After making those adjustments, it was like a fat burning switch had been turned on. Even without working out for 3 weeks, while recovering from leg vein surgery, I was consistently dropping inches. I don’t weigh myself, but I do track my measurements and wow, what a difference. My clothes were falling off by October and I had to upgrade my wardrobe, because my previously tight leggings were too big. Plus, my Cholesterol and A1C levels dropped to optimal levels!!!
If you have been frustrated with your own health journey and want to give up, don’t. Take this as your sign to keep going! All those little things you are doing, to improve your well-being, add up. You are worth it!” ~Melissa Baer
