So with every ingredient I'll tell you how does it boost your collagen, exactly how and when to take it and how you should use it correctly for real results. Let's begin my girls but before that a mandatory introduction for my girlies watching me for the first time. My name is Shilpa Raidas. I am 37. I live in Pune. I love beauty. I love anti-aging and our channel is all about that. I have a very strong community of my beautiful sisters here with me.

Before we begin can anybody please comment on my Christmassy cardigan because I just love it. Okay let's talk about the first natural ingredient that you can add to water and those are cinnamon stick not powder but stick. Cinnamon is a powerful anti-glycation ingredient which is critical for anti-aging. So what is glycation? Simple few words explanation is that glycation is a process when you take excess of sugar and when you have excess of insulin spike in your body then your collagen breaks and your elastin also breaks and withers. Sugar molecules they attach to collagen fibers which will lead to early aging and bad skin aging making it stiff with a wrinkle like I told you. Cinnamon what it does is that it helps reduce the blood sugar spikes which prevents collagen hardening and breakdown. So it literally protects your collagen my girls and this will be extremely important if you consume carbs or sugar which we do consume on a daily basis in some form or the other. So taking this cinnamon water will be really good for you. How to use it? Drop one stick of cinnamon stick into warm water and let it infuse for some time. Best after meals or in the evening to reduce your glycation damage. Second and a very effective natural ingredient for anti-aging with water will be fenugreek seeds also known as methi seeds. This is deeply underestimated and people do not use it for anti-aging but it is awesome. It is a great collagen supporting ingredient especially for women. So why does it work biologically? Fenugreek contains phytoestrogens and amino acids that support skin thickness, skin hydration, collagen integrity. Particularly it is very useful if your estrogen levels start fluctuating. Now estrogen levels starting to fluctuate it is very bad because that is going to worsen your skin. If your estrogen levels are maintained my girls, your skin aging is going to be slower and fenugreek seeds does that for you. It also improves gut absorption directly affecting how well the nutrients are absorbed from your gut to your body and that is also going to affect your collagen formation synthesis and also protecting the collagen. See even if you're taking the most expensive nutrient dense food mineral rich foods but if your gut is not healthy then what happens? It's going to be a waste. Only partially the nutrients are going to get absorbed in your body. It is not only about what you eat it is also about absorption. That is the second important part of eating good food. If your gut is healthy then only your body is going to supplement of all the nutrients that you're having. So having a gut healthy drink is very good for your skin. Soak one teaspoon of fenugreek seeds overnight in water and drink the infused water in the morning on empty stomach. That's it. Third and this one I take very regularly that is chia seeds. Low dose but high skin benefits. Now chia seeds are extremely safe when they are soaked properly and they have got a lot of benefits for body not just for your skin. Skin it works very well because it has got high omega-3 fatty acids, minerals that support skin repair and anti-inflammatory support. They reduce collagen breakdown by calming your skin inflammation. One of the biggest causes of premature aging my girls. How to take? Soak one spoon of chia seeds in water 30 minutes one hour prior. You can also soak it overnight. It'll be good. Morning or midday you can take it with your smoothies. We can take it with your fruits. You can take it with your warm water with lemon. That's what I do early in the morning. Go for it. Okay let's quickly move on to your fourth natural ingredient but before that a quick reminder my girlies if you aren't subscribed to the channel then that is so weird. Let's not do that. Subscribe to the channel right away and also click on the bell notification so that you receive a notification every time a new video is up. So our fourth ingredient to be added to water is trace mineral salt. Not normal salt but trace mineral salt. So this is where we make a mistake with hydration. Collagen formation and protection requires proper cellular hydration and hydration only works when electrolytes and trace minerals are present. Minerals like magnesium, zinc, potassium are critical for collagen synthesis and skin repair enzymes. Plain water without minerals okay just remember what I'm saying can actually flush out the minerals out of the body. So small pinch of high quality mineral salt you need to take it in your water bottle. That's it. First half of the day is recommended because you can also get up dehydrated. Sometimes we feel stressed out. We feel unhappy. We also feel weak. It's not that we are hungry actually. We are just dehydrated so if you take your water with the trace minerals good for you and also good for your skin. And last but not the least many of us know it that it is spectacularly good for our skin that is green tea. So green tea is not just a trending drink. Green tea is one of the most well-researched anti-aging drinks my girls especially for skin longevity and I'm including matcha here. So green tea is very rich in EGCG, a powerful antioxidant that has been proven to protect collagen fibers from breakdown, inhibit collagen degrading enzyme like MMP, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation which are the biggest triggers of premature aging and it highly improves skin elasticity and thickness over time. So see green tea does not directly create collagen in your body but it improves the environment for your body that it can create collagen in a healthy and uninterfered way and in this environment your collagen can survive and flourish properly. So creation is important but preservation is also important. That is real anti-aging my girls. Very simple you know how to take it. Just dip one bag of green tea in your warm water and take it. You can also take coal infused green tea which you can soak overnight at night and you can take it in the morning next day. Best in the morning and early afternoon. You can avoid late evenings because it has very mild caffeine and on that note if you aren't subscribed to the channel still then that is another ingredient you'll be missing on. So subscribe to the channel and also click on the bell notification so that you're notified every time a new video is up. We also have a brand new Instagram account for this channel my girls.

So yeah you will get to learn something about beauty tips and tricks also on the channel and on Instagram. So yes do follow both the pages. The links are in the description okay and it's very simple my girls. See it's about detailed knowledge like I always tell you. You knew about green tea but you might not have known about few things that I just told you on this video right. You knew about cinnamon but you might not have known in details what I just told you in the video. Some of you might have known some of you might not have known but without knowing those little details okay the little basics we will not be able to really get anti-aging benefits and the best results out of these ingredients, products, whatever information that can apply to skin care, that can apply to food, that can apply to many practices that we are doing for beauty and anti-aging and knowing something completely 360 degrees that is the best way to take the benefits. I am a living example because my skin was so horrible you guys must have seen in my old videos. I took interest and started taking efforts to learn things in more details which takes time but you will become the expert of it my girls. I assure you of that. Just pay heat and start something with discipline and practice. You learn everything but if you do not start to follow it then it is going to be no use. You might watch five videos but if you don't follow at least one of the videos tips that you watch today then it is of no use and you don't have to be so aggressive that oh my god I need to start 10 new things now what am I going to do. Don't be hard on yourself. Don't stress. One by one give yourself time, leverage and that love and compassion. We don't want to increase our cortisol more. We want to decrease it and also be very positive and hopeful that it is going to work for you because it works for everybody. Why? It's not going to work for you. You are going to be the most beautiful girl in the world. Be sure of that. Put it in your prayers, put it in your efforts, put it in your knowledge and see how everything is going to change, how life is going to change for you. I wish you so much beauty, so much joy, so much happiness in this life that you are going to be overwhelmed with it and I'm always going to be with you in this journey of absolute beauty.
