This is Day 187 of my Daily Food Diary. 🧑🍳 Each month of my diary, I set out to highlight one nutritional aspect of my diet. This month, my focus is on collagen.
Since collagen is so important to having and maintaining a strong and healthy body, I have been sourcing out and highlighting foods that contain or assist in the production of collagen for the past five days.
Today, I decided to touch on foods that destroy or slow down the production of collagen.
Foods to avoid for collagen health include: processed sugar, refined carbohydrates (especially white bread), and fried foods. It is also beneficial to avoid alcohol consumption and smoking.
Personally, I believe in balance and sustainable changes when it comes to eating, and life in general. I am trying to be mindful of what I consume and I am gradually making ‘better’ food choices. For better or worse, my Daily Food Diary is always a reflection of my reality. 🙄
Despite the high humidity this morning, Dan and I took Molly for her morning walk . Walking is good for our collagen and hers. Just like people, dogs need collagen for their joints, skin, hair/fur, digestive health, and for their overall well-being. Also, just like people, dogs lose and produce less collagen as they age. Molly just turned three years old, but it is never too soon to ensure her health.
When we got back home, Dan took a few more photos of Molly and I. As usual, she was less than co-operative. And yes, she was drinking out of the bird bath. 🤦
