1) Soy Products - Go for soymilk, tofu and cheese as these contain isoflavones such as genistein. Genistein gives soy products their collagen producing abilities, and block enzymes that break down the skin structure.
2) Dark Greens - Opt for spinach and asparagus, which are rich in vitamin C to strengthen our body's ability to produce collagen.
3) Red Fruits and Vegetables - Try red bell peppers, beet roots and tomatoes as these antioxidant-rich foods help increase collagen production.
4) Nuts - Cashews, Brazilian nuts, almonds and pecans are akin to fish because they also contain Omega fatty acids.
5) Sulphur-Rich foods - As sulphur plays a huge part in producing collagen, eat plenty of green and black olives, sunflower seeds, garlic, radish, fresh cucumbers and celery.
