As we grow older, our natural collagen production slows down. Collagen is what keeps our skin firm and supple and when this production starts slowing down in our mid 20’s we start to see the visible Effects, fine lines and wrinkles. Instead of Botox, injections or other expensive invasive procedures, look no further than your refrigerator!
Top 3 Collagen Producing Foods
1. Bone Broth! This is a must. Bone broth actually contains a bio available form of collagen your body can use immediately. Know your broth. Beef bone broth is best for your skin, while chicken bone broth is best for your joints
2. Chlorella! Chlorella, a single-celled algae, is nature’s version of retinol only in pill form. Chlorella contains RNA and DNA which give our cells instructions such as cellular repair and regeneration
3. Eggs! Chicken eggs contain collagen in the yolk and eggshell membranes and are rich in sulfur which is required for collagen production. And great for joint health
Remember whenever possible, Whole Foods are better sources for your body than supplements which are usually difficult to absorb.
