Consuming collagen can offer many health benefits for women and men, from relieving joint pain to improving skin health.
Collagen is the main structural and most abundant protein in your body found in the bones, muscles, skin, and tendons. It is the substance that holds the body together. Collagen forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure.
Researchers have discovered women’s skin does in fact age quicker than men. No matter what age, the collagen density in men is higher than it is in women. Men’s skin is about 25% thicker than women’s skin thanks to androgens (i.e. testosterone), which yield a denser network of collagen fibers than that found in female skin. Researchers believe this higher collagen density is the reason why women appear to age faster than men of the same age. With age and environmental damage, collagen is lost. After menopause, female skin will continue to thin significantly. As time goes on, the body's natural production of it decreases. The physical signs of aging in adults such as wrinkles are a result of that decrease in collagen.
Avoid these lifestyle habits that lead to collagen loss:
1. Excessive smoking.
2. Too much intake of sugar.
3. Exposed to ultraviolet light without skin protection.
To reverse collagen loss, do this:
3. Maintain a healthy diet. Protein-rich foods, like meat, eggs, fish and seafood, beans, and dairy will all supply your body with a range of amino acids needed to make collagen.
4. Adopt an exercise regimen.
5. Apply vitamin A, C and D treatments.
6. Regularly do facial massages.
7. Maintain good calcium levels. Calcium helps the body regulate how fast it generates new skin cells and how quickly it sheds old skin cells.
8. Apply moisturizer with both humectant and occlusive ingredients.
Warning: Always consult with your doctor first, prior of consuming any collagen supplement. They have the potential to cause digestive side effects such as feelings of fullness, heartburn and may lead a bad taste in the mouth.
