This freebie is my Top 10 MUST HAVE Products List! I give you a list of the EXACT PRODUCTS I use and swear by DAILY. These products have incredible benefits and I think you will love them as much as I do!
So let’s start with the basics….
What is collagen?
Collagen is a prime structural protein located in mammal connective tissue and is essential for fully functional joints and muscles. Collagen is actually the most abundant protein in your body, accounting for about one-third of its protein composition.
It’s one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Collagen is also found in many other body parts, including blood vessels, corneas, and teeth. Not having enough collagen in your skin can lead to wrinkles and lacking collagen in muscles and cartilage can cause joint discomfort.
You can think of it as the “glue” that holds all these things together. In fact, the word comes from the Greek word “kólla,” which means glue.
What are the benefits of collagen?
Ok, now for the good stuff. There are so many AMAZING benefits of collagen:
- Promotes joint & muscle fitness, reducing joint discomfort
- Promotes healthy cartilage & connective tissue
- Promotes healthy hair, nails, gums & eyes
- Improves skin’s hydration, firmness & elasticity
- Reduces wrinkles
- Decreases skin dryness
Ok, so we know what we can gain from adding collagen to your lifestyle. But what about the things that can damage your collagen?
What are things that damage collagen?
Perhaps it’s even more important to avoid the following collagen-destroying behaviors:
- Eating too much sugar and refined carbs. Sugar interferes with collagen’s ability to repair itself. Minimize your consumption of added sugar and refined carbs.
- Getting too much sunshine. Ultraviolet radiation can reduce collagen production. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
- Smoking. Smoking reduces collagen production. This can impair wound healing and lead to wrinkles.
