The Essential Nutrient for Collagen Boost and Well-being

Collagen is a protein that connects different parts of the body and makes up about 35% of all proteins in the body.

Consuming collagen may not be the most effective way to boost collagen levels, as there is another important nutrient involved.

The book 'Soil, Grass, and Cancer' discusses the link between human and animal health, focusing on the mineral balance in the soil.

⭐ Copper is the number one nutrient that boosts collagen production and prevents collagen loss.

💪 Copper also plays a crucial role in making elastin, a protein that supports the structural integrity of collagen.

🔒 A deficiency in copper can result in swayback or lordosis, characterized by an excessive lower back curve due to lack of structural stability.

🌟 Copper is a crucial nutrient for maintaining skin elasticity and preventing loose skin.

💪 Copper deficiency can lead to weak joints and muscles, while sufficient copper levels support joint health and muscle strength.

🥤 Athletes with adequate copper levels have increased endurance and hydration, allowing them to exercise for longer periods without needing water.

💡 Copper is essential for strong joints, muscles, and blood vessels.

🔍 Copper is important for the immune system, red blood cells, and melanin production.

🧠 Copper supports brain function and helps maintain balance.

🔑 Copper is important for maintaining equilibrium, balance, and detoxifying fluoride.

🍛 Foods high in copper include liver, kidney, oysters, shellfish, shiitake mushrooms, and sesame seeds.

🌍 Copper deficiency can be caused by low copper levels in soils, gastric bypass surgery, and excessive ascorbic acid intake.

🔑 Taking excessive amounts of ascorbic acid can lead to a copper deficiency.

🔄 Taking too much zinc can disrupt copper levels, leading to a copper deficiency.

💡 Zinc and copper work together, so it's important to consume trace minerals in a complex.

🍬 Excessive sugar intake, particularly fructose, can cause a copper deficiency.

🍺 Alcohol consumption can also result in a copper deficiency.

🥦 Consuming excessive fiber does not contribute to copper deficiency, unlike fiber from foods rich in trace minerals.

📌 Functional fibers are being added to keto-friendly bars and other foods.

🔍 Collagen and anti-aging are popular topics of interest.
