💡Daily skin lesson: What is collagen & why we should care if we’re trying to age gracefully….
Collagen is a fibrous, supportive protein. It is found in bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, & skin. It gives the skin strength & elasticity. Collagen production decreases with age, contributing to skin wrinkling & sagging.
The body produces collagen naturally in abundance when young, but unfortunately production starts to decline at about age 25, & continues. It decreases even more in women after menopause.
So what are the top external collagen destroying factors that are completely in our control?
Avoid the following collagen-destroying behaviours if your goal is to age gracefully, maintaining a youthful appearance
* Eating too much sugar and refined carbs. Sugar interferes with collagen’s ability to repair itself.
* Getting too much sunshine. Ultraviolet radiation can reduce collagen production.
* Smoking. Smoking reduces collagen production.
