Your gut has been quietly replacing itself all week

The cells lining your gut renew themselves every three to five days, which makes it one of the fastest renewing tissues in your whole body. It's been quietly getting on with the job all week, whether or not you've given it a thought.


WHY CONSISTENCY MATTERS, the wall that rebuilds itself every few days

Something that busy needs a steady supply of the right raw materials, not a top-up whenever you happen to remember. Collagen is rich in glycine and proline, two amino acids your gut lining uses to hold itself together. Picture the lining as a wall: the cells are the bricks and amino acids like these are part of the mortar that supports the seal between them. When the whole wall is being replaced every few days, it needs a steady supply of that mortar, which is why consistency really makes a difference.

So if your tub is looking low, or has been sitting at the back of the cupboard since summer, today is a lovely day to sort it out. Your gut's been looking after you all week, so it's only fair to return the favour.
