Ayurvedic Tips for Aging in our sunset years🌛

Gray hair and wrinkles can be a testimony of wisdom. But in a stressful world we often get caught up in equating our worth with productivity that could weigh on us post-retirement. Everyone, at every stage of life is a gift to the world.  That said, aging does bring preventable and costly health challenges that we need to face squarely, from heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, arthritis, dry skin, falling hair, cognitive decline, stroke and cancer.

How to boost Collagen and Age Gracefully with Ayurveda?

skincare
“Collagen” is one of very frequently used words in skincare, especially when it comes to protecting your skin from the signs of aging. Did you know Collagen in fact is the most important ingredient for healthy and youthful-looking skin?
But what is Collagen exactly and what role does it play in our skin?

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a type of structural protein, that makes up over 75-80% of our skin. It is the protein in our skin that’s responsible for its firmness, plumpness, elasticity, and youthfulness. Collagen is also found throughout the body including in the muscles and bones where it provides necessary strength.
When skin is healthy, it repairs and makes new collagen regularly and keeps skin smooth, buoyant and free from fine lines. However, when our skin is exposed to factors like UV rays, smoke, pollution, erratic diet and stress.These wreak havoc by producing free radicals in the skin. These free radicals are one of the biggest causes for the breakdown of Collagen fibers, thinning skin and accelerating the skin aging process.

How to boost collagen naturally?

In today’s day and age of quick fixes, there may be numerous artificial techniques that work on boosting the collagen in the skin. However, these invasive techniques do not get to the root of the issue, they are temporary remedies.
At Forest Essentials we rely on Ayurveda’s holistic approach to aging gracefully.This approach is known as “Rasayan Chiktsha” which translates to –the holistic rejuvenation of mind and body to retain vitality and youthfulness.
Various natural herbs, therapies, foods, and other ingredients are mentioned under this branch of the science, which work really hard to boost Collagen and other proteins in the skin to maintain its long- lasting beauty.

Ayurvedic Secrets for Boosting Collagen

1. Ayurvedic Antioxidants or Youth Activating Herbs- In Ayurveda, a myriad of herbs are categorized as Rasayana or rejuvenators. Gotukola, Ashwagandha and Bala are some potent reparative herbs that work on the skin by boosting collagen production.
