Aging is inevitable and it sucks.
We all hope to age gracefully but the strains of everyday life, work, stress, lack of sleep, and unbalanced diet takes an effect on our skin and at times speeds up the process. Ever come across a picture from only 3 to 4 years ago and are shocked by how much younger you look?
I have!!! These are the times I wish I had listened to my mother and moisturized.
Over time, our body does not produce as much collagen which is an important protein responsible for the strength of our bones. Most commonly it is found in ligaments, tendons, and fat. When the body produces a normal level of collagen it works like glue holding everything together, thus giving us a youthful glow.
The promising part is that the body will produce more collagen if healthy levels are present. We can assist in stimulating our body to produce even more by consuming foods rich in vitamin C, zinc, ginseng, cilantro, meat, garlic, and of course aloe vera. Staying away from sugar and refined carbohydrates will further assist our body in producing more collagen.
Our body is an amazing piece of art, preserve it by taking care of it!
