The Collagen Diet

Dr. Axe explains how collagen helps maintain the structure and integrity of almost every part of the body. Readers will learn how our skin, hair, nails, bones, discs, joints, ligaments, tendons, arterial walls, and gastrointestinal tract all greatly depend on the consumption of collagen-rich foods, which are unfortunately scarce in today's diet. Dietary collagen provides a unique blend of amino acids and other compounds, making it absolutely critical for everyone, including infants, young children, the elderly, athletes, pregnant women, new mothers, and adult men and women. Simply put, when we don't get enough of the beneficial compounds found in collagen-rich foods, we experience more injuries, chronic aches and pain, digestive issues, and other symptoms associated with aging.
