How To Boost Collagen Production Naturally.
Collagen is gaining popularity & is now popping up everywhere in the form of powders, pills, supplements, protein bars, bone broths & more.
What did we do before collagen became a popular multi-million dollar marketing industry?
People relied on a combination of a healthy balanced diet, skincare & natural practices to address skin & joint health. The concept of collagen supplements is a fairly new modern development. It has only recently been marketed over the last decade as the ‘magic potion.’
What Is Collagen?
Collagen is a group of hard, insoluble, fibrous proteins that give structure to connective tissue & constitute about one-third of your body’s protein. Over two dozen types of collagen have been identified; these are the three most prominent types:
• Type I - found in the skin, tendons, teeth, internal organs & bones.
• Type II - found in the eyes & cartilage.
• Type III - found in the skin, muscles, bone marrow, lymphoid tissue & blood vessels.
Collagen supplements are generally made from connective tissue, bones & other parts of cows, pigs, chicken & fish. They can contain toxins & heavy metals that could be harmful. As with all supplements, collagen is not regulated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
Feed your body the raw materials & it will produce its own collagen.
Eating foods that contain amino acids & nutrients from which collagen is formed provides your body with the raw materials to make more collagen without the use of supplements.
The body naturally forms collagen from amino acids (mainly proline, glycine, lysine, hydroxyproline) & other nutrients including vitamin C, zinc, copper & manganese. The body has been created without error; your body should produce all the collagen it needs without any of the risks associated with collagen supplements.
FOCUS:
✨ Diet - WFPBD
Focus on a whole food plant based diet rich in amino acids, plant protein, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin C, vitamins, minerals & antioxidants.
✨ Eat collagen-rich foods everyday to support collagen synthesis.
✨ Eat a variety of clean sources of rich plant protein - All plants including fruit contain protein (amino acids.)
✨Keep adequately hydrated
Drink 3-4Lt water per day.
✨IM Fasting.
Intermittent fasting can boost collagen production.
While fasting, the body may increase production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), which can stimulate collagen synthesis, leading to improved skin elasticity and firmness.
Fasting also promotes skin & cellular regeneration, leading to the production of fresher, healthier skin cells.
✨ Use natural & Organic Skin Care
Avoid chemicals on your skin.
Always use 100% natural skin care products to wash your skin including your hair, face & body.
Use a daily 100% natural, organic moisturiser to help hydrate your skin.
✨ Use natural tools to stimulate & support collagen production.
Youth potion - Jojoba oil.
Gua Sha - Quartz sculpt & lift face stone.
Jade Face Roller - Natural face sculptor.
SoSmooth Anti-Wrinkle Silicon Facial Patches - 100% Natural medical-grade silicone (Non-chemical & non-invasive.)
✨ Avoid Unhealthy Lifestyle Choices
Processed sugars, gluten, grains, animal products, unhealthy fats, processed/packaged foods, excessive caffeine, alcohol, oils & salts, natural & synthetic flavorings, colors, preservatives & smoking.
Always Remember:
Health is an inside job - Good health starts from the inside (it does not come from a bottle, pill, product or supplement.)
What we eat & drink effects how we look, feel & how we age.
You can-not look outside of yourself to heal & repair an internal condition.
Vibrant health, healing & repair can only come from within.
