WHAT IS COLLAGEN?

Collagen is a very important protein for body composition. Collagen is the first thing that comes to mind when the skin is aging. Protein plays a very important role in maintaining the beauty and youth of your skin. It is the most abundant protein found in the human body which is found in muscles, bones, skin and tendons.

It holds the body together perfectly. Only by this the body structure remains in a correct shape. Collagen in the middle layer of the skin forms a fibrous network of cells called fibroblasts, on which new cells are formed. It also plays a role in replacing and restoring dead skin cells. As we age, less collagen is produced in the body. The structural integrity of the skin is reduced. Due to which wrinkles are formed, the cartilage of the joints becomes weak.

Collagen is a hard, insoluble and fibrous protein that makes up one-third of the proteins in the human body. Collagen is mainly composed of proline, the amino acid glycine and hydroxyproline. These amino acids form three strands that form the characteristic triple-helix structure of collagen. Collagen breaks down as we age, fibroblast function is impaired and collagen production slows down.

BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN
Collagen offers many health benefits. Let’s know the benefits of collagen

Improve skin health

As you age, your body produces less collagen, which leads to dry skin and the formation of wrinkles. Studies have shown that supplements containing collagen peptides or collagen combats wrinkles and dryness and can help slow the aging of your skin.

Prevent bone loss

Bones are mostly made of collagen, which gives them structure and strength. With age, the collagen in the body decreases, so the bone mass also decreases. Collagen supplements can help prevent the breakdown of bones and help your body build new bone.

Joint pain relief

Collagen helps maintain the integrity of cartilage. The amount of collagen in the body decreases with age, increasing the risk of degenerative joint disorders such as osteoarthritis.

Thick hair

Many women also experience hair loss or thinning as they age. A study of a group of thin-haired women who were given daily collagen supplements showed increased hair volume, scalp coverage, and thickness.

Promote heart health

Collagen reduces the risk of heart conditions. Collagen provides structure to arteries, the blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body.

Gut health

Although no scientific evidence supports this claim, some health practitioners claim that collagen supplements can treat leaky gut syndrome, also known as increased intestinal permeability.

BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN POWDER
Studies done on people revealed that they found many benefits after consuming collagen powder, including the benefits of collagen powder.

Joint pain and voice
after consuming collagen powder, people found that there was a reduction in the sound of loud crunching from the knee every time they walked up the stairs. Knee pain also reduced.
Skin improvement
during winter’s dry skin spots appear on the face even after moisturizing. But with collagen powder they are greatly reduced and the skin feel supple.
Healthy nails
some people’s nails break more easily than others, and don’t grow as fast. In one study, a group of women who consumed collagen powder daily for just four weeks experienced faster nail growth and fewer cracked or chipped nails.
Increase in muscle mass

Collagen peptide supplements could potentially help increase muscle mass and strength.

WAYS TO INCREASE COLLAGEN
to support your body’s collagen production, you should follow the steps mentioned below. These collagen boosting measures will help you.

Foods rich in vitamin c

Vitamin C is important for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid has been shown to help speed up recovery time and relieve painful joints. Eating foods rich in vitamin C and amino acids can increase the levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the body.

Algae

Most skin damage is caused by “oxidation.” Algae is able to increase your skin’s elasticity and collagen. Algae is available in most health food stores as an oral supplement.

ALOE VERA

Aloe Vera gel has long been used for healing and drying wounds. Aloe vera increases the production of collagen. Taking an aloe Vera oral supplement will improve the quality of the skin.

Coriander

Sitaphal, also known as coriander leaves, is a herb commonly called for in cuisines. It contains vitamin C, which has been linked to increased collagen production.

Ginseng

Ginseng is absorbed into the skin without the adverse reactions caused by many chemical drugs and helps the skin retain its original shape. It also works to promote the growth of collagen.

FOODS THAT HELP YOUR BODY PRODUCE COLLAGEN

Chicken

If you’ve ever cut up a whole chicken, you’ve probably noticed how much connective tissue is in poultry. These tissues make chicken a rich source of dietary collagen.

Citrus fruits

Vitamin C plays a major role in the production of collagen. That’s why it’s important to get enough vitamin C.

Egg whites

Egg whites contain a large amount of proline, which is one of the essential amino acids for collagen production.

Tropical fruits

Fruits rich in vitamin C include mango, kiwi, pineapple and guava. Guava also contains small amounts of zinc, which is a co-factor for collagen production.

Cashew

Cashews also come in the best collagen supplements. Cashews contain zinc and copper, both of which enhance the body’s ability to make collagen.

Legumes

Beans contain protein that often contains essential amino acids for collagen synthesis.

Ways to Reduce Collagen in Body

Three main things reduce collagen levels as we age: sunlight, smoking, and sugar.
Its filaments open due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet light. This can lead to sun damage, such as wrinkles.
The chemicals in cigarette smoke can damage it, which can lead to wrinkles in the skin.
Sugar causes the fibers to bond and tangle. It makes the skin less elastic.

OVERVIEW

Pancreas is a disease which is characterized by the inflammation of pancreas. Pancreas is a large, leaf-like gland which is present behind the stomach in upper abdomen. It is a composite gland which means it acts as both exocrine as well as endocrine glands.

High Density Lipoprotein HDL cholesterol is called good cholesterol because it removes other types of cholesterol from the body. HDL Cholesterol An increased level of HDL cholesterol is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol is a wax-like substance found in the cells of the body. It performs a variety of functions, including the formation of body cells. It is related to lipoproteins and circulates in the body. HDL removes excess cholesterol from the blood and transports it to the liver, where it is broken down and passed out of the body. At the same time, a certain amount of cholesterol is needed for the body to function, but excessive amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream increases the risk of heart diseases. People who have naturally high levels of HDL cholesterol have a lower risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

INTRODUCTION
According to Ayurveda, our body is made up of five elements which are water, earth, sky, fire and air. These five elements are also known as Panch Mahabhoot and this Panch Mahabhoot is the source of subtle energy of our body. In religious point of view also these Panch Mahabhutas have great importance, because our universe has originated from the combination of these things and our body has originated from these combinations. These five elements live in harmony with each other in our body and keep the body healthy. Doshas are born from the combination of these five Mahabhutas. A dosha is born out of a combination of two great elements, which are mentioned below:-

Vata Dosha – Air and Sky
Pitta Dosha – Fire and Water
Kapha Dosha – Earth and Water
Vata, Pitta and Kapha all three are present in our body in balanced quantity, but if any element increases or decreases in these three, then we may have to face many physical problems due to it. These are called doshas because of the problems arising due to disturbances in the balance of these three. Since these doshas are three in number, they are collectively called Tridosha. Ayurveda clearly believes that if the balance of any one of these three doshas is disturbed, then many physical problems are bound to arise which can range from moderate to severe and severe to very severe. Let us know in detail about these three doshas one by one.

WHAT IS VATA DOSHA?
Vata dosha is considered to be the most prominent dosha. This dosha is formed by the combination of “air and sky” elements. All those activities that happen inside our body in which there is movement or movement are due to Vata. In simple words, the element which generates movement or enthusiasm in the body is called ‘Vata’ or ‘Vayu’. Vata helps in the movement of the body, such as circulation of blood. The blood flowing in our body would flow from one place to another due to Vata. Not only this, all the metals present in the body are also able to do their work due to this Vata and the contact of any one part of the body with another part is also possible due to Vata.
