If you’ve ever heard of Metamucil, that’s just psyllium husk in a powder form and it’s not just for old people. Adding some of this to your daily routine has a ton of benefits. I tried to write a few sentences explaining the benefits but they all turn out like shit.

      You might not be drinking enough water. Psyllium gels in contact with water, but if there’s not enough it turns to rubber cement
