Gelatin Helps With Menopausal Dry and Sagging Skin
A couple of months ago I was having problems with a very painful arthritic knee and as I had heard so much about the benefits of gelatin for joint pain, decided to do do a bit more research into it.
There are numerous benefits attributed to Gelatin and some of them are associated with the menopause:
- regulates fat metabolism
- soothes the stomach
- detoxifies the liver
- reduces cellulite
- helps spare progesterone and opposes estrogen and hence regulates hormones
- regulates immune system
- improves skin, nails and hair
- helps absorb calcium
- relieves joint pain and stiffness
After two months of taking the gelatin, I have found my joint stiffness and pain substantially reduced (although I am taking sea cucumber too).
The main thing I have noticed and that really excites me, is the fact that my skin is really improving. My skin that I have noticed since the menopause has begun to sag, is tightening up and the dry skin on my calves and heels is getting much better.
My frown lines are getting softer and my nail cuticles stronger. I'm hoping that my nails will become stronger too (as they have a tendency to split) and my hair thicker, as gelatin is also supposed to help this.
I'm already looking younger and can't wait to see how much better my skin will be after a few more months!!
I have been taking one tablespoon of powdered Gelatin every morning on an empty stomach and not eating for half an hour after that.
I dissolve the powder in a tiny amount of cold water and wait for a minute, before adding coffee, sugar and hot water and stirring well (I have it black without any addition of milk). I find it easy to take it this way. You can add a bit of hot water to dissolve and then add cold orange juice or any other beverage to it.
