Gelatin, stress, and longevity, Ray Peat

Article

The main bulk of an animal’s body consists of water, protein, fat and bones. Fat tissue and bone are
metabolically more quiescent than the protein-water systems. During stress or starvation, or even
hibernation, animals lose lean mass faster than fat. The amino acids that constitute protein have many hormone-like functions in their free state. In this article Ray Peat details the link between protein break-down and stress and the role of gelatin-rich foods in combating degenerative and inflammatory diseases.
