Dietician Sansha Kohidh shares her thoughts on #collagen. Did you know? Collagen 101

• Collagen is the most abundant type of protein in the human body.
• There are around 28 types of collagen, and they all have different structures.
• It is the key to healthy hair, skin, nails, joints, muscles and bones.
• In the skin, collagen provides strength and elasticity.
• Collagen improves bone density because of its ability to provide structure and integrity to bones as they reform and grow. 

To prevent collagen loss: 

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, as they contain vitamins and antioxidants.
• Avoid smoking and processed foods, which increase the risk of oxidative stress.
• Protect the skin from sun exposure, use sunscreen daily.
• Ask your dermatologist about Collagen supplements.
