Brilio.net - As a person gets older, not only gray hair grows, but the skin also ages. Especially if someone is over 30 years old, various signs of skin aging will usually begin to appear. Such as the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging face, and wrinkles in several areas of the face. This condition will get worse as you get older.
This sign of skin aging is quite disturbing to appearance and makes most people feel self-conscious. It's not surprising that many are looking for ways to overcome it. Starting from having treatments at beauty clinics to using skincare products that contain collagen.
Collagen is a structural protein that is found in abundance in the body, usually found in skin, hair, nails, bones and joints. The main role of collagen is to keep skin youthful, free of sagging and fine lines. In this case, collagen works by forming a connective tissue structure in the skin , so that it can provide firmness and elasticity.
Meanwhile, collagen can also prevent damage caused by free radicals. Please note, free radicals are molecules that can damage skin cells and cause premature aging. Well, the antioxidant properties in collagen can help fight free radicals and keep skin healthy.
However, all the benefits of this collagen will slowly disappear over time. To overcome this, the step you need to take is to increase collagen levels in the body. The method is to consume vegetables, fruit or other natural ingredients that are used as drinks.

These three types of food contain amino acids, such as proline, lysine and arginine which are needed in the formation of collagen. This amino acid is the basic material used by the body to build collagen structures.
Meanwhile, cashew nuts and sunflower seeds also contain copper which is needed for the collagen formation process. Copper helps in the formation of strong cross-links in collagen molecules, which can make the skin firm. Reporting from Healthline, sunflower seeds are rich in protein, healthy fats and fiber. Well, the ingredients in it are effective in maintaining skin firmness and accelerating skin regeneration.
Likewise, the antioxidant content can protect collagen from damage caused by free radicals and prevent premature aging. The presence of fatty acids from cashew nuts helps maintain soft and supple skin.
