Collagen is one of the most important proteins in our body, it is responsible for joining our tissues and is part of the joints, skin, bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. However, over the years, our body stops generating collagen naturally and this process can be advanced by bad habits.
Symptoms of collagen loss:
- Joint discomfort and pain.
- Bone density loss
- Appearance of wrinkles.
- dermal aging
To improve the condition of the skin, bones and joints, it is essential to eliminate simple sugars, trans fats and, in general, all processed foods, poor in vitamins, minerals and amino acids and so harmful to our health, from our diet.
An adequate diet with the presence of foods such as oily fish, nuts, onions, strawberries, eggs, dairy products and meat can be our great ally to achieve ideal levels of this essential protein. In addition to taking care of the diet and proper hydration, it is essential to stay active. Movement is the best joint 'lubricant' so we have to avoid a sedentary lifestyle and try to do physical exercise.
