Aging is a phase of life that affects not only the body’s internal organs, but also the skin, the largest organ of all. In fact, from the age of 25, the first signs of skin aging such as wrinkles, loss of volume and loss of density appear.
In this way, it is estimated that by the age of 40 the body produces half as much collagen as it did in adolescence. Therefore, it is important to increase the production of this protein through collagen-rich foods or supplements. In fact, the web portal Panorama Web highlights the properties of sunflower seeds, rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, zinc, fiber and magnesium.
To take advantage of this seed and stimulate the production of collagen, a natural antioxidant that fights free radicals, the following preparation must be made:
Sunflower seeds
- 1 drizzle of olive oil.
- 1 tablespoon pepper.
- 1 tablespoon paprika.
- 1 tablespoon turmeric.
- Sunflower seeds.
- First, a drizzle of olive oil should be added to a container along with a tablespoon of pepper, cayenne pepper and turmeric.
- Next, all products must be mixed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
- Then add a handful of sunflower seeds, cover them with the mixture and then toast them in a pan.
- These seeds should be kept in a jar and consumed between meals to increase collagen production in the skin.
