By 40, we’ve lost around 25% of the collagen in our connective tissue. Certain antibiotics, ultraviolet radiation, high sugar consumption, and poor diet can contribute to collagen breakdown and speed up premature aging. Vitamin D helps protect you against the loss of collagen and premature aging.
The most potent stimulus of collagen is exercise. Focus on the plank exercise, eccentric exercises, and sprinting. Not only will these exercises make you look younger, but they’ll also improve the health of the vessels, valves, and tissues around your heart.
There are several anti-aging foods that you should add to your diet to prevent premature aging. Adequate vitamin C intake is essential to form collagen. Raw sauerkraut has the highest amount of vitamin C!
Vitamin K2 is vital for collagen and keeping your cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and fascia healthy. It also helps give your skin a youthful glow. Liver, egg yolk, and butter are the best food sources of vitamin K2.
Magnesium allows your body to make collagen and helps vitamin D prevent its breakdown. Dark chocolate, almonds, and spinach are the best sources of magnesium.
Zinc keeps skin youthful and speeds up wound healing. Oysters, red meat, and liver contain the most zinc. Copper is also essential. The best sources are oysters, red meat, shellfish, liver, and dark chocolate.
High-quality protein is crucial in keeping you healthy and helping you look younger. Grass-fed beef is the best source.
Intermittent fasting can promote autophagy, which has potent anti-aging effects. You must also prioritize sleep to reverse aging and have a youthful glow.
Oxytocin is one of the most powerful anti-stress hormones. You can make your own cultivated yogurt product using the microbe L. reuteri to significantly increase this hormone.
