As we age, there is one thing that leaves us first – and that is the ‘collagen’ of our skin. This is the natural protein of our skin, which keeps the face tight, smooth and young. When its level is low, the face starts sagging and the glow disappears.
The market is flooded with ‘collagen supplements’ and many of us empty our pockets to buy them. But are pills really needed? Famous Dermatologists Dr. Gurveen Waraich Says-Absolutely not! He recently told on Instagram that there are “collagen bombs” hidden in our kitchen itself, which are more effective than expensive pills. Let us know about those 5 things.
1. Bone Broth
Dr. Waraich considers it the ‘father’ of collagen. This is the best natural source. When we cook bones on low flame, natural collagen and amino acids are released from them which dissolve in water.
- Benefit: Drinking this tightens the skin from within. Besides, it is also a panacea for your joint pain. It would not be wrong to call it “Liquid Gold”.
2. Fish and chicken (especially with skin)
If you are fond of non-veg, then you have a treasure trove of collagen. The connective tissues of chicken and fish are rich in collagen.
- Benefit: Do not throw away the outer skin of the fish, the most benefit is hidden in it. This is the easiest way to restore the lost glow of the skin.
3. Citrus fruits and colorful berries
This is the most important point for vegetarians. The body desperately needs Vitamin C to make collagen.
- What should we eat: Sour things like lemon, orange, kiwi and strawberry.
- Benefit: Vitamin C turns on the collagen factory in the body. That means it is not collagen itself, but works as fuel to make collagen.
4. Egg White
Do you eat boiled eggs for breakfast? So great! The white part of the egg contains an amino acid called ‘Proline’.
- Benefit: Proline is the main brick from which collagen walls are made. Eating egg white daily not only makes the skin glow but also makes the hair silky.
5. Green leafy vegetables
In childhood, mother used to tell me to eat “greens and spinach”, she was right. Spinach, kale and fenugreek contain chlorophyll.
- Benefit: They detoxify the body and protect the skin from damage caused by pollution and sunlight. Green vegetables also prevent collagen from breaking down.

So, next time before buying expensive supplements, head to the vegetable market or your kitchen. These natural things will give your skin the nourishment that cannot be found in any artificial pill.
