Explaining the benefits associated with collagen, Web MD says: “Collagen is a protein responsible for healthy joints and skin elasticity or stretchiness. It’s in your bones, muscles, and blood, making up three-quarters of your skin and one-third of the protein in your body.”
The website adds: “As you age, it’s harder to keep up your natural collagen levels. This is particularly true after you’ve gone through menopause. It’s because over time, your body increasingly struggles to absorb enough of the nutrients it needs to make collagen.
“However, eating collagen-rich foods can help your body overcome some of this absorption problem. That helps keep your body stronger and healthier as you get older.” Foods with collagen include bone broth, fish with the skin on, chicken, and red meat.
Additionally, Web MD suggests vegetarians and vegans consider eating foods high in vitamin C, such as fruits and vegetables, as this can encourage the body to make its own collagen, and high-protein foods, such as eggs, dairy, and beans, which help collagen production.
