How to slow down cellular aging and reduce the risk of chronic diseases?

One method suggests including nuts in a balanced diet, primarily because of the range of nutrients they contain.

Nuts, like seeds, are sources of amino acids such as glycine, arginine, and lysine, and they also contain minerals such as magnesium, iron, and silicon, which are essential for maintaining optimal collagen levels in the body.

Reference

Collagen is one of the most important components of blood vessels and arteries. It is a protein that is responsible for joint health, skin elasticity and consists of amino acids (proline, glycine, lysine).

In order to increase the consumption of collagen, important acids and minerals, experts recommend adding 5 types of nuts to the diet as part of a balanced diet.
