Today, interest in dietary collagen is growing at an astounding rate, and with good reason. The benefits of a collagen-rich diet are astounding, ranging from better weight control to improved digestion, clearer skin, reduced inflammation, and improved immune function. In 'The Collagen Diet', Dr. Axe explains how collagen helps maintain the structure and integrity of almost every part of the body. Readers will learn how our skin, hair, nails, bones, discs, joints, ligaments, tendons, arterial walls, and gastrointestinal tract all greatly depend on the consumption of collagen-rich foods, which are unfortunately scarce in today's diet.
