What foods to eat after 30 to prevent wrinkles

The most important product that should be present in the diet of a woman after 30 is collagen. It is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

TSN writes about it.

Collagen is a protein that the body produces on its own and is responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and flexibility. Collagen accounts for about 40% of all protein in the body. However, with age, collagen synthesis decreases, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles.

Collagen plays a role not only in maintaining youthful skin, but also in the health of nails, hair, joints, and intestines. The body can produce the necessary amount of collagen on its own until the age of 25, but later this process slows down. This is when the first wrinkles appear, and later arthritis can develop.

According to research, the industry related to the production of collagen-containing products is expected to grow to $7.5 billion by 2027 due to the anti-aging properties of this protein.
