[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report]Many people want to have good skin, thinking that they need to eat pig skin, fish skin, chicken skin or bone broth. However, Wang Dayuan, a Chinese medicine doctor, reminded that they are not the first choice for collagen foods, because most of them are high-fat and high-purin foods. It is recommended to take “high-quality protein” from daily milk, eggs, beans, fish and meat, and add “vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C”, such as guava, kiwi fruit, strawberry, cherry, citrus, cherry tomato, etc., which can help the synthesis of collagen .
Wang Dayuan posted on his Facebook page “Wang Dayuan, Physician of Yuanqi Traditional Chinese Medicine“The article stated that the reason why the skin is elastic is because the epithelial tissue of the skin connects the connective tissue. Connective tissue will use collagen fibers as the skeleton to connect many cells together, and the middle is filled with many pectin-like substances to protect the cells and cushion the impact force. Collagen is highly extensible, whether it is bone, cartilage, ligaments, nails, skin or hair, it must rely on it to stabilize its existence.
He added that many people think that they should eat pork skin, fish skin, chicken skin, pig feet, lamb trotters or bone broth, but most of them contain more fat, fat and purine, which is easy to gain weight and even gout, so it is not suitable for supplementing collagen preferred. If you want to supplement collagen, you can choose lean meat, which provides amino acids for synthesizing collagen.
Plant gum non-collagen is still good for health
Wang Dayuan explained that since connective tissue only exists in animals, plants in nature do not have connective tissue and collagen. Common plant gums are actually starches or dietary fibers (water-soluble polysaccharides), such as aloe vera gel, tremella soup, peach gum, and okra mucus.
He appealed that although plant gum is not collagen, it is also important for health, including lowering cholesterol, delaying blood sugar absorption, increasing satiety, and helping to promote bowel movements.
Eat high-quality protein and vitamin C foods daily
Wang Dayuan pointed out that many people think that eating collagen is useless. In fact, it is because the body has its own arrangements for the resynthesis of amino acids. Amino acids are often sent to the most urgent need instead of maintaining supple and elastic skin. . However, collagen supplementation does provide the body with the raw materials it needs to synthesize collagen fibers in the skin.
He further explained that the human body can already use small-molecule amino acids to synthesize collagen, but only with the assistance of vitamin C can the effect be significant, so it is only necessary to consume high-quality protein and fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C on weekdays . There are currently at least 28 types of collagen known, all of which can be ingested in milk, eggs, beans, and fish; guava, kiwi fruit, strawberry, cherry, citrus, and cherry tomato are the best supplements for vitamin C.
