One of the important factors that help slow this process is collagen, a protein that accounts for about 30% of the total protein in the body. In addition to supplements, many experts recommend taking advantage of natural collagen from food, especially from fish.
In particular, salmon, tuna and plain-skinned fish are considered fish rich in collagen and omega-3 fatty acids. Fish skin and bones are rich in type I collagen, the most important type of collagen in maintaining skin structure, reducing wrinkles and improving firmness. Not only that, omega-3 also has anti-inflammatory effects, helping to protect the heart and support brain function, health problems that women after the age of 40 are often concerned about.
According to nutritionist Dr. Mark Moyad, Center for Preventive Medicine, University of Michigan (USA): Collagen from fish has a small nuclear structure, the body absorbs it more easily than collagen from animals on land. This is the optimal choice for women who want to take care of their skin from the inside naturally and safely".
International studies have also shown that regular supplementation of fish collagen can improve skin moisture, fade wrinkles and support connective tissue regeneration. In addition, the protein in fish helps maintain muscle mass, limiting osteoporosis and muscle loss when entering menopause.
Experts recommend that women over 40 should include fish in their diet at least 2-3 meals a week, prepared by steaming, baking or cooking soup to retain maximum nutritional content. Combined with green vegetables, fruits and the habit of drinking enough water, collagen from fish will promote a clear effect, bringing youthfulness and health from within.
