Collagen is a crucial protein that plays a significant role in maintaining healthy skin. Here’s why it’s important for good skin. Collagen fibers help maintain skin elasticity, allowing it to stretch and bounce back to its original shape. This elasticity is crucial in preventing wrinkles, sagging, and fine lines. To maintain good skin health, it’s essential to support collagen production through a healthy diet rich in vitamin C, amino acids, and antioxidants. Creating a collagen-boosting drink with carrot, beetroot, lemon juice, and orange is a great way to incorporate essential vitamins and antioxidants. Here’s a simple Collagen boosting recipe you can try at home:

Collagen-Boosting Skin Glow Drink

Ingredients:

• 1 medium carrot, washed and chopped
• 1 small beetroot, washed and chopped
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 orange
• Chia Seeds – 1/2 teaspoon
• 1-2 medium cups of water (adjust for desired consistency)
• Optional: Honey or stevia syrup for sweetness

How to Prepare?

• First Step is to soak 1/2 teaspoon of chia seeds in 2 tablespoons of water overnight.
• Next morning, prepare the fruits and vegetables by washing them thoroughly. Peel the lemon and orange.
• Using a blender or a juicer, juice the carrot, beetroot, lemon, and orange together until smooth liquid-like consistency.
• If using a blender, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth to remove any pulp, if needed.
• Dilute the juice with water to achieve your preferred consistency and taste. Start with 1 cup of water and adjust accordingly. Add soaked Chia seeds in it.
• Optionally, add a teaspoon of honey or stevia syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste. Mix well until it’s fully incorporated.
• Serve the collagen-boosting drink immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days.
• Drink 1 glass of this collagen-boosting drink daily in the morning daily to maintain skin elasticity & collagen.

Benefits

• This drink may help enhance skin hydration by increasing moisture levels and making your skin appear more plump, supple, and youthful.
• Regular consumption of collagen drinks might contribute to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Collagen supports skin elasticity and firmness, potentially leading to smoother skin texture.
• It helps delay the signs of aging like sagging skin, age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
• Carrots, beetroot & oranges contain antioxidants like vitamins A, and C. That in turn help protect the skin from free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and damage to the skin cells, contributing to a healthier complexion.
• Daily intake of this skin glow drink may lead to improved skin texture, making the skin feel softer and more supple.
• Remember that collagen production is also supported by vitamin C, which is found abundantly in citrus fruits like lemon and orange. Carrots and beetroots are rich in antioxidants that can contribute to overall skin health.
