8. Rejuvenate your skin with collagen

As you grow older, your skin loses its elasticity, hence the sagging and wrinkles. 

Collagen is the most common protein in our body, and it comprises of 30 percent of the body’s total protein content. It offers a wide variety of skin benefits, which helps to boost skin elasticity and thickness, as well as prevents your skin from developing fine lines along the contours of facial expressions.

As you age, collagen tends to break down, which reduces the skin’s elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, saggy skin, age spots, and similar effects of aging.

Replenish the collagen you are constantly losing naturally by eating the right kinds of food such as soymilk, cheese, Manuka honey, prunes, omega acids or even fish collagen supplements.
