What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is a fibre like structure that is used to make connective tissue. This type of tissue connects other tissues and is a major component of bone, skin, muscles, tendons, and cartilage. It helps to make tissues strong & resilient, able to tolerate stretching.
Possible Problem with lack of Collagen?
Our body starts to make less as we age, production of collagen also reduces quickly due to:
Sun exposure, smoking, excess alcohol, lack of sleep, lack of exercise
With aging, collagen changes in the deep layers of skin, and exposure from the environment can damage collagen fibres strength and thickness.
What can Help?
Protect your skin from excessive sun, it it great to get sunshine on your skin, however excessive exposure can be damagingAdequate sleep 7-8 hours every nightAvoid or limit alcohol, processed food, and sugarEat a nutrient rich diet including foods collagen is naturally found, like meat & fish and bone broth, legumes, eggs, nuts, leafy greens & citrusExercise a little each day
