If you have felt your joints weaker or noticed that your skin is no longer the same, this may be directly linked to the drop in collagen production in your body. Over time, our body naturally reduces the production of this protein. And this not only affects our skin, which becomes more flaccid, but also our joints, making simple movements, such as climbing stairs, increasingly difficult.
This lack of collagen can also impact the shine and strength of your hair. The solution? Replenish these nutrients naturally.
Therefore, the first ingredient in this recipe is unflavored gelatin. An ingredient that, despite being simple, is one of the best direct forms of collagen that we can include in our diet. It helps to replenish this protein in our body, helping to firm the skin and strengthen joints.
Gelatin is also easy to be absorbed by the body, which enhances its benefits. But remember to continue eating good sources of protein throughout the day. We will also need an apple.
It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and most importantly for our focus here, it is an excellent source of pectin, which helps with intestinal health and indirectly contributes to the absorption of nutrients, which promote collagen regeneration. Additionally, apples are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, which are great for relieving joint pain. Next, we have turmeric or saffron, which is a true treasure of nature.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful natural anti-inflammatory, which helps combat joint pain and improve flexibility. This root is essential for anyone looking to keep their bones and joints healthy, as well as improving skin quality, thanks to its antioxidant properties. Now, an extra ingredient, you can choose to add a tablespoon of flaxseed, which is rich in omega-3 and also contributes to joint and skin health.
Or you can choose a plant-based milk, such as a base drink, such as almond or sesame, which offers a good dose of calcium, essential for keeping your bones stronger. And let's look at the quantities of the ingredients for this recipe. To prepare this vitamin that helps replenish collagen, you will need: 1 apple cut into pieces, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin and 200 ml of water or vegetable milk of your choice, and as an optional ingredient, you can add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed, to further enhance the benefits.
Place all ingredients in the blender and blend well. You can take this vitamin once a day, preferably in the morning or as an afternoon snack option. It will help strengthen your joints and make your skin and hair healthier.
