Collagen is one of the most important factors when it comes to having beautiful skin. Collagen production helps with acne and wrinkles, however, as the years go by collagen production decreases which makes wrinkles and crepes appear and even healing from wounds will take longer or scar. So how can one pause the hands of time? With a little help from foods that help boost collagen production, you can increase the chances of combating fine lines and have less scarring.
So nix the Botox and try these collagen-boosting foods to help promote not just younger skin, but healthier skin too (because bad skin happens at any age).
Vitamin C
This vitamin is found in many citrus foods such as oranges, kiwis, and pineapples.
Copper
Found in rich foods such as organ meats (livers, hearts, etc.), cocoa powder, and portabella mushrooms
Glycine
This is found in foods such as gelatin, chicken skin, and pork skin.
Zinc
This vitamin can be found in foods such as oysters, beef, and crabs.
As you can see there are many food options out there to help you include more collagen-boosting foods into your diet, so whether you’re vegan, or wish to eat less meat, you can find a way to choose a serving of these foods at least once a day.
Eat your way to beautiful skin and you won’t have to resort to unnatural ways of keeping it looking good!
