Summary

Episode Description

Collagen is a protein, the most abundant protein in the human body. It is the protein that provides tensile and flexible strength to tendons and ligaments, is a major component of the dermal layer of skin, the cartilage in joints, an important structural protein in all the body’s organs. But, if you are like most of us, you have been living a collagen-deficient lifestyle. While your body can manufacture collagen, you are also meant to obtain significant amounts of collagen in your diet. The astounding blunders of the last 50-year low-fat era has caused most people to avoid collagen-rich foods, namely organ meats. Many have gone to the opposite extreme, for instance consuming foods like boneless skinless chicken breast in which most of the collagen content has been discarded.

In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, I am going to argue that dietary collagen intake plays a major role in maintaining the characteristics of youthfulness. Let’s discuss how and why collagen has virtually disappeared from modern habits and how you can bring it back with benefits for health and youthfulness. We demystify the process of glycation in which collagen becomes brittle, disorganized, and irreversibly damaged. Discover how to counteract this breakdown with increased collagen intake, and engage in the ongoing debate on the best form of collagen. We'll also guide you on how to ensure that collagen gets to the parts of the body that need it the most. Stay tuned as we discuss the importance of collagen in an anti-aging regimen and how it can help maintain youthfulness. Who knew that the fountain of youth could be as simple as upping your collagen intake? Let's uncover this protein powerhouse together.
