Khaberni - In the quest for perpetual youth, scientists discover unconventional foods that stimulate collagen production and combat wrinkles in natural and surprising ways.
Skincare is no longer confined to cosmetics and expensive treatments, as many now turn to natural solutions in the kitchen that help resist wrinkles and firm the skin.
As natural collagen production decreases with age, fine lines and sagging appear, prompting some to try unusual foods proven by studies to enhance skin youthfulness.
Jellyfish.. The Ocean's Treasure
Jellyfish is traditionally eaten in China, Japan, and Korea, where it is typically served in salads or fried. This marine creature has recently become a global center of attention due to its beauty benefits, as it contains a high percentage of collagen which helps tighten the skin and improve its elasticity.
Studies show that some jellyfish species contain about 50% protein by dry weight, making them a natural and economical alternative to commercial collagen products.
Bone Broth and Bone Marrow
Bone broth, rich in natural collagen, is made by boiling bones with vegetables and vinegar for many hours. It has become a favorite warm beverage among global stars such as Salma Hayek and Gwyneth Paltrow, who have spoken about its tangible benefits for the skin and joints.
Experts predict that the global bone broth market will grow from $1.1 billion in 2024 to $2.8 billion in 2034, as demand for natural foods rich in beneficial nutrients increases. Bone marrow, served as a luxury appetizer or added to soups, is known for its high value in healthy fats and skin-nourishing elements.
Lifestyle is the Foundation
Despite the importance of these foods in supporting collagen production, doctors confirm that skin youthfulness does not depend solely on food, but requires a balanced lifestyle that includes regular water intake, daily sunscreen use, and consumption of vitamin C to enhance collagen absorption.
