A List of Vegan Alternatives To Collagen

Another excellent reason to go Plant Based!! Most, if not all Collagen supplements are derived from animals, so if you are Vegan or Plant based, (or even if you aren't) then you are doing more harm than good in taking them, BUT, take heart....you can get a lot of Natural Collagen from eating your beans, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc. Yes, food does pretty much have all we need to live a long, and very healthy life. I call it "Food as Medicine". So hard to believe isn't it, that we can heal and prevent many ailments by what we put into our mouths? It took me quite a while to grasp this concept, UNTIL I tried it for myself. By eating this way, my bleeding ulcer disappeared (this after the Dr told me that there was "no way" I could cure it unless I had surgery) Ha, I showed him!!! 😉 Also my joint pains disappeared almost immediately. I was sold from day 1! Not to mention how great I felt and the weight finally came off after trying every diet and weight loss gimmick known to man!!
If you are considering going Plant Based, read the article on here entitled "How to get started on a Whole-Food-Plant-Based diet". It gives you some really good tips. And don't worry about whether or not you are getting enough Collagen...if you eat right, you are!!
