Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is our heart’s ability to change the rate at which it pumps blood based on our constantly changing state of being. It significantly impacts how our body can react to and recover from stressful situations. HRV is a non-invasive measurement of our Autonomic Nervous System. So whether our body enters a “fight or flight” response during a high-stress situation, or it begins to “rest and digest” when the threat has disappeared, these changes are reflected in our HRV.

Did you know that back in medieval France, King Henry II’s wife, Princess Catherine, believed that if she ate chicken combs, she would become beautiful? Even before that (in the 700s) Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties of ancient China, also ate chicken combs.

Chicken combs, as it turns out, contain a lot of a substance known as hyaluronic acid.

Recent clinical studies show that ingesting hyaluronic acid actually can increase the moisture content of the skin. This shows up as more hydrated, and “beautiful” younger-looking skin.

Nowadays, hyaluronic acid is not just made from chicken combs, but also from microbial fermentation. It’s found in many skin supplements and moisturizers. It’s also used as an injectable filler to reduce wrinkles.
