(+ How To Get/Keep More Of It!) In the spotlight of health & wellness, collagen is gaining widespread attention — & that's for very good reason! This vital protein is not just a cornerstone for maintaining youthful skin & combating the signs of aging… but also plays a critical role in overall physical well-being, supporting bone, joint, & muscle health... Collagen, derived from the Greek word 'kolla' meaning 'glue,' is aptly named as it acts as the binding element in our body's tissues, including skin, bones, muscles, tendons, & ligaments... Its abundance — being the most prevalent protein in your body — further underscores its importance... However, natural collagen production declines with age... (although there are various lifestyle changes you can make to slow this decline — including the dietary changes as we'll discuss in this week's newsletter — amongst others like not smoking & limiting your alcohol consumption, maintaining regular exercise, minimizing daily stress, avoiding pollution, etc...) To start though, it's worth noting that there are actually various types of collagen (16 known types in total) & they come from different sources. We’ll focus on the most beneficial 5 types, which are: - Type 1: Found in wild-caught fish, this type enhances skin, bone & cardiovascular health. - - Type 2: Essential for joint health & found in bone broth, it can reverse arthritis effects amongst other benefits. - - Type 3: This boosts muscular strength & is found in fish & bone broth. - - Type 4: Aids in detoxification & organ health, with fish & bone broth being rich sources. - - Type 5: Essential for eye health & healthy embryonic development, also found in fish. - The best way to get balanced amount is through the balance Oil - Healthy skin from within - - Normal inflammatory balance, which can help protect your skin's natural collagen over time - - Heart, brain, and immune health—all in one daily serving - - Your skin reflects what's happening inside your body. - Nourish your cells every day, and let your skin benefit from the inside out. - No need to worry about eating fish every day—just one simple daily habit.
