Collagen? we need you!
Basically responsible for a weak connective tissue is in addition to the special basic structure, the amount of collagen fibers. Their factor may be genetically influenced and inherited as connective tissue weakness.
But other factors also contribute to collagen deficiency:
- As you age, does the collagen production in the body decrease? From the age of 25, less collagen is produced by the body.
- The diet affects the collagen balance. Proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements are important for collagen formation.
- Free radicals are harmful to the connective tissue. Too much sun (ALWAYS go out with sunscreen in spring and summer), environmental pollution (hence the boom of anti-pollution cosmetics), and of course smoking and alcohol destroy the collagen fibers.
