To achieve a natural and anti-aging beauty, collagen should not be underestimated. Collagen is the key for always young skin.

As a protein naturally produced by the body, collagen has a function and structure as "glue" of 80 percent of the connective tissue in the body and 75 percent of our skin. Although still young, collagen is still being produced to meet this need. However, as we age, the supply of collagen in our body continues to decrease until it causes wrinkles, sagging skin, dull hair, brittle nails, stiff joints, digestive problems, and others. Wow, what should I do? 

Fortunately, there are several ways to maintain collagen levels, the results of which can optimally support anti-aging. According to Australian clinical nutritionist Sarah Newland, you can easily apply these effective tips to your daily menu and lifestyle to continue supporting the collagen in your body and making it look younger from the inside out.

Pay extra attention to your body as you get older

Women, who produce less collagen than men, lose 1 percent collagen every year after the age of 25. At the age of 50, women naturally lose nearly half of the collagen in their bodies. Wow!

Well, here are the contradictions. "As we grow older, collagen production decreases, but at the same time they need for collagen increases," Newland said.

You could say that this situation is unfair, but this is how our body works. That is why it is very important to pay extra attention to our body in order to maintain the supply of collagen in our body! According to Newland, this is the key to effective anti aging.

Add foods that contain collagen to your menu

Compared to processed foods our bodies sort nutrients from non-processed food sources first," according to Newland, who recommends his clients to consume bone broth regularly as part of their health program because of the high content of collagen available in bone broth.
