Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Foods rich in collagen include:
1. Pig feet, chicken feet, beef tendons, and other connective tissues: these parts are rich in collagen. After prolonged stewing, the collagen dissolves into the broth, forming a gel-like substance that is easily absorbed by the human body.
2. Fish, especially fish skin and scales: the skin and scales of deep-sea fish such as salmon and cod contain abundant collagen.
3. Bone broth: collagen is released in large quantities when bone broth is simmered for a long time. It also contains minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which are beneficial for bone health.
4. Fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants: such as blueberries, strawberries, kiwifruit, oranges, tomatoes, and carrots, which are rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, helping in collagen production.
5. Nuts and seeds: such as almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds, which contain healthy fatty acids and trace elements that help maintain skin elasticity and joint health.
However, it is recommended to choose and use these foods under the guidance of a doctor to avoid unnecessary health risks.
