Good nutrition is as important as anti-ageing products for keeping the skin supple. In fact, Mother Nature has prepared everything that the body needs to restore, regenerate, and repair damaged collagen in the supermarket produce section. Say hello to your new get-gorgeous grocery list!
The foundation of youthful, radiant skin hinges upon one key factor – collagen. Collagen is a type of protein made up of long-chain amino acids, and works with elastin, another highly elastic protein, to support the skin’s structure. It also maintains the health and vitality of connective tissues, including bones, ligaments and tendons. In short, collagen binds all the cells of the body together – literally.
However, the production of collagen gradually slows down as the body ages and its quality won’t be as good as in years past. The sun, pollution, and smoke are also responsible for disintegrating collagen. As a result, fine wrinkling, loss of elasticity, as well as thinning occurs. Lest you think this only happens during menopause, collagen breakdown can begin as early as your thirties! And if left unchecked, these skin changes will be irreversible.
Reboot wIth Nature
It is important to note that the synthesis of collagen in the body is dependent on the abundance of amino acids. In other words, it is possible to boost collagen naturally by eating the right nutrients!
A diet high in antioxidants and minerals can do wonders for the skin. Help your skin maintain its strength, resiliency, and volume by choosing a rainbow of collagen building fruits and vegetables the next time you go to the supermarket!
