Collagen is an essential protein for maintaining healthy skin. It preserves skin elasticity, allowing it to stretch and return to its natural shape. This suppleness is vital for preventing wrinkles, sagging, and fine lines.
A diet rich in vitamin C, amino acids, and antioxidants is crucial for collagen formation. Drinking a nutrient-dense juice made from carrots, beetroot, lemon, and orange is an excellent way to naturally boost collagen levels. Here’s a simple recipe you can make 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
½ teaspoon chia seeds
1–2 cups of water (adjust for desired consistency)
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or stevia syrup for sweetness
How to Prepare:
Soak ½ teaspoon of chia seeds in 2 tbsp water overnight.
The next morning, thoroughly wash the fruits and vegetables. Peel the lemon and orange.
Using a blender or juicer, extract the juice from the carrot, beetroot, lemon, and orange until smooth.
If using a blender, pass the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp.
Dilute with water to your desired consistency, starting with 1 cup and adjusting as needed.
Add the soaked chia seeds to the juice.
For sweetness, add honey or stevia syrup.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1-2 days.
