Q&A

How can I slow down skin aging?

You can slow down skin aging by replenishing collagen, reducing nutrient depletion, combating oxidation, inflammation, and promoting autophagy through techniques like intermittent fasting.

What are the major causes of collagen degradation?

Collagen degradation is caused by glycation, a process where sugar molecules attach to collagen fibers, leading to their kinking and irregularity.

How can I increase collagen in my diet?

You can increase collagen in your diet by consuming foods high in protein, such as lean meats, eggs, and dairy products, or by taking collagen supplements and consuming bone broth.

What is autophagy?

Autophagy is the body's natural process of cellular waste removal and recycling. Promoting autophagy can help rejuvenate skin cells and improve skin health.

Can collagen supplements improve skin appearance?

While controversial, collagen supplements have shown promising results in improving skin health and appearance. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine if they are right for you.
