Collagen is one of the most important substances in the body. It is a glue that helps the body maintain its shape and structure by binding tissues and cells together. As we age, natural collagen production begins to slow down and cell structure weakens. The skin thins and sag, causing wrinkles to form.
After the age of 25, your body begins to lose collagen. After a few years, the impact becomes apparent. Although this is a natural process, UV exposure, pollution, bad skin habits, and poor dietary choices can speed it up. In our 40s, as we enter perimenopause and menopause, the skin rapidly loses collagen. Studies show that women’s skin loses about 30% of its collagen in the first five years of menopause. After that, the decline was more gradual. Women lose about 2% of their collagen every year for the next 20 years.
Loss of collagen can affect how you look and feel. The first signs may be subtle. However, the sooner you start, the more collagen you can replenish in your body to see positive results.
Loss of natural fullness
The cheeks become flatter, while the area under the eyes becomes sunken. Unless you’ve lost a lot of weight recently, these could be signs of collagen loss.
Sagging skin
Since collagen enhances skin elasticity, when it begins to decrease, so does the skin’s firmness. You may notice a sagging effect on your chin, cheeks, buttocks, and abdomen.
Wrinkles and fine lines
Wrinkles and fine lines begin to appear as the skin becomes dehydrated and thins due to the loss of collagen.
lifeless hair
Hair begins to thin and no longer looks as healthy as it once did. You may also notice hair loss. As the amount of collagen begins to decrease, hair may begin to split and break.
It’s worth noting that all of the above symptoms may also indicate other health conditions. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor, avoid self-diagnosis, and be cautious about self-prescribing any supplements or medications.
Replenish collagen in the body
As the body begins to lose collagen, the side effects begin to become bothersome, and people look for ways to replenish this very important protein. Several methods currently exist.
Taking supplements
Supplements are one of the most popular ways to increase collagen levels. Some studies show they can improve skin’s elasticity and appearance. It’s also worth noting that these benefits can only be enjoyed when taking supplements. Once you stop supplying collagen to your body, the effects may disappear.
Adjust diet
To produce collagen, your body needs protein-rich foods as well as nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and copper. You can help your body by adjusting your diet to provide it with the necessary building blocks. Beef, chicken, fish, eggs, dairy products and beans are all rich in protein. One of the most useful products is bone broth.
