Let’s face it; no matter how much effort or money you spend, you can’t actually stop growing old.
What you can do however, is to minimise the effects of it on your skin and body—and one of the secrets of achieving this lies in something called collagen.
Know your collagen facts!
Collagen is the ‘glue’ that holds our bodies together. Besides structural support, it provides strength to skin, muscles, and connective tissues.
However, once we touch 20, our production of collagen drops by about 1% every year. Then when we hit our 40s, collagen production decreases by 25%!
But wait, all hope is not lost yet! The key is to get your body to work with you and produce some good ol’ collagen.
Do these 4 things to up your collagen level
#1 It’s fruits & veges >>>
Like it or not, you are what you eat. Oranges, lemons, and grapefruit, as well as spinach and kale have high levels of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, which will maintain your healthy skin, joints, and connective tissues.
#2 If you’ve not heard it yet today, WATER!
Difficult as it may be for some, water really can keep you at the top of your game when it comes to health.
Drinking the exact amount of water your body needs—in general, it’s about 8 glasses a day—will ensure your skin stays hydrated. This will then support collagen production, giving you that elasticity and youthfulness you crave.
#3 Six hours of sleep is NOT a well-rested night!
We’re all about the #hustlelife but having less than 7 hours of sleep every night, is not it. As a matter of fact, the recommended dosage of sleep for any adult is between 7 to 9 hours.
Sleep does so much for your collagen production and maintenance:
- It gives your skin time for cellular repair and regeneration, including the production of collagen.
- It regulates your hormones, particularly the growth hormone in deep sleep, promoting collagen production.
- It reduces stress and maintains a balanced stress response to support collagen synthesis.
