Brilio.net - Having a youthful face that doesn't change with age is everyone's dream. Especially for those who have entered their 60s, appearing with a youthful look can make their appearance more confident again. In this case, the key to getting healthy skin is not only relying on external care, but also with internal care. One way that is believed to help care for the skin from within is by consuming collagen drinks. This drink is believed to make skin look healthier, firmer and more youthful.
Collagen itself is a protein structure that already exists in the human body. The use of collagen is to maintain skin strength, elasticity and density. However, as we age, collagen production in the skin begins to decrease, making it dry, sagging and losing elasticity . Even if you don't overcome this decrease in collagen, it can trigger the appearance of black spots and make your face look dull.
To keep collagen levels in the body from decreasing, you can increase them by drinking instant packaged collagen. However, this product is priced quite expensively on the market, ranging from IDR 150 thousand to IDR 1 million.
As an alternative, you can make your own collagen drink from fruit , you know. As did the owner of the YouTube channel Diy Natural Recipes. He uses bananas, avocados, and celery to make his own collagen drink.
Bananas contain various important nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, and minerals such as magnesium and potassium. Vitamin C is a very important nutrient in the formation of collagen in the body. Vitamin C is also one of the main components that stimulates collagen production in the skin.
Meanwhile, avocados contain healthy fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids, as well as vitamin E and vitamin C. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and stimulates collagen production. In addition, the healthy fats in avocados can help maintain skin moisture and make it look more supple.
Additional ingredients, namely celery, contain vitamin K and antioxidants such as flavonoids and vitamin C. Vitamin K in celery can help in the skin healing process and strengthen connective tissue. The antioxidants contained in it also help fight free radicals which can damage collagen and cause skin aging.
