3. Collagen
Collagen is a protein and is made of amino acids. When collagen is digested it breaks into amino acids. Your body then takes the amino acids from the collagen and takes it to the areas of the body that needs it the most.
Collagen is very important for the joints as it is what allows the joints to move more easily. If you ingest more collagen, studies show that it can help with joint pain. Consider ingesting collagen as a way to fix a creaky hinge.
If you add more grease the joints should move smoothly. In order to get more collagen in the body, you need to eat more animal-based proteins. Collagen is present in connective tissues and the bones of animals.
Good sources of collagen include beef, chicken, pork, and fish. Getting collagen from the connective tissue and bones, boiling the bones and creating bone broth is the best option to add more collagen to your diet.
