The Importance of Collagen
Collagen is an important protein responsible for skin elasticity, joint and bone health, and gut lining repair. There are many different types of collagen. Some have more elasticity than others, so knowing the difference is important when wishing to meet specific health requirements.
* Type 1 and Type 3: are present in skin and bones, and make up part of the gut lining.
* Type 2: makes up cartilage, fascia, ligaments and tendons.
* Type 5: is found in the placenta.
* Type 10: largely contributes to cartilage and disc tissue.
Dietary sources of Collagen:
* Poultry Bone Broth uses bone and cartilage so is very high in Type 1.
* Bovine Collagen/Bone Broth contains Type 1 and Type 3 and is good for skin and bones.
* Eggshell Membrane contains Types 5 and 10.
* Marine Collagen is primarily Type 1 but does contain some Type 3.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...

but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
