How Can I Rebuild Collagen In My Face

How Can I Rebuild Collagen In My Face

Collagen is a protein that provides structure, strength, and elasticity to skin, bones, joints, muscles, hair, nails and even the body’s internal tissues. But as you age collagen levels begin to decrease.  This causes the skin to become thin, bruising can occur more easily, and fine lines and wrinkles appear.

Collagen rebuild is the process of replacing collagen that has deteriorated because of age or other factors. Collagen rebuild can be achieved through a number of methods.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body; it makes up about 25 percent of all the protein. Collagen provides strength and flexibility to our bodies’ structures, like skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. It works as a glue between our cells that hold us together. In fact, collagen is found in every tissue of the body.

Collagen is a protein that consists mainly of amino acids, cysteine and proline. It contains about 1/3 glycine, an amino acid commonly found in gelatin. Collagen can be formed from other amino acids too such as glutamic acid, lysine and hydroxylysine. These amino acids are turned into collagen by the body.

There is a natural process of making and breaking down collagen in the body continuously, but as we age this process slows down causing less new skin cells to be made. Collagen production slows down with time, resulting in aging skin. Our body makes less and less collagen as we get older so it is important to build collagen in the body when young and in good health.

However, it is possible to rebuild collagen and slow down its degradation process. 

Why Do We Need It?

When we rebuild collagen, it has been shown to improve overall health. For example, collagen treatments have been used for arthritis and other joint diseases. In addition collagen can be used to rebuild ligaments and tendons. 

Collagen is used in the treatment of scleroderma, surgical scars and keloid scars; rebuild collagen is being used to rebuild skin, rebuild cartilage, bones and teeth.

Research has shown that collagen treatments are safe for most people with few side effects. And collagen studies have revealed its effectiveness in rebuilding ligaments, tendons, cartilage and other tissues; collagen injections rebuild damaged tissue by stimulating your body’s own cells to rebuild collagen. 

Food That Have Collagen In Them

If you rebuild collagen naturally, you can get it from food rich in collagen. Here is a list of foods that contain collagen.

  • Sardines
  • Beef and pork (use lean meats)
  • Chicken and turkey 
  • Fish: clams, crabs, lobster. 

Foods rich in omega 3 also rebuild collagen

  • Oysters 
  • Salmon 
  • Mackerel 
  • Tuna 

Vegetables contain collagen too, they are good for your overall health. Some of them contain vitamin C which helps rebuild collagen in the body. Others have vitamin A and E that help improve it as well. 

Benefits of Having Enough Collagen In Your Diet

Having collagen from food may have a lot of health benefits. These are some of them:

  • You can rebuild bones and rebuild joints. 
  • It helps the immune system rebuild itself. 
  • Collagen supplements rebuild skin and prevent early aging of it too.
  • Collagen dietary supplements rebuild digestive tract, muscles, and tendons
