The answer is no. But the good mood of eating pig's feet can beautify! Does it?

What? What happened to the beauty of pig's feet? Aren't pig's feet rich in collagen? Isn't collagen an integral part of the skin? And its soft texture taste, fat but not greasy, pig's feet is a lot of people's favorite, eat pig's feet, drink pig's feet soup, warm body, face heat, is not the "beauty" of the power?

These are correct.

Many people like to eat pig's trotters, so do I. Braised pig's trotters, marinated pig's trotters, stewed pig's trotters with snow peas and so on. In this cold winter, eat a pig's feet, drink a bowl of hot soup, really feel especially happy! The corners of the mouth rise and the face glows, beautiful!

But in fact, if because of taste preferences, there is no excuse. If the pig's feet as a "beauty goodies" and consumption, is more or less wishful thinking. Pig's feet do contain a certain amount of collagen, but exogenous intake of collagen, after the human digestive tract, "baptism", has been completely different not to mention that, and collagen can not be directly absorbed by the body, and can not directly act on the skin beauty. That is, you can not reach you eat collagen, the body will use them to synthesize collagen for the skin. For the body, the digestion and absorption of collagen processing and other proteins are no different.

In addition, the body has its own categorization of proteins, which can be simply divided into high-quality proteins and non-quality proteins. Those that can be absorbed and utilized by the body are high quality proteins, while those that can be absorbed and utilized by the body are non-quality proteins, which are professionally evaluated by the amino acid score. Unfortunately, collagen belongs to the biological value of non-quality proteins, its amino acid score is much lower than egg whites and other high-quality protein. Therefore, hoping to rely on eating pig's feet beauty, really lack of scientific basis.

At the same time, it must be pointed out that even if pig's trotters are consumed because of taste preferences, they should definitely be eaten with caution in obesity, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and cholecystitis patients because they are rich in saturated fat under the skin!

Pig's trotters are a general ingredient to enjoyThe "warm, happy" feeling of food is just that.

Isn't happiness a beauty!

Many people know that pig's trotters contain a substance called "collagen", and often hear about the benefits of this substance on the skin, which helps the skin to become soft and smooth, firm and elastic, so it is natural to think that eating pig's trotters will help to beautify the skin.

But is the truth of the matter really true? Can pig's trotters really beautify your skin?

Answer Sneak Peek:

The claim that you can beautify yourself by eating pig's feet is not true!

[What are pig's feet and collagen?]

Pig's feet, also known as pig's feet, pig's claws and pig's trotters, including pig's feet (hooves) and calves, are one of the parts of the pig that are often eaten by Chinese, and they can be cooked in various ways, such as roasted, brined, boiled, etc., and the flavor is generally more tender and refreshing. Compared with other parts of the pig, pig's feet are rich in collagen protein and high in cholesterol (192 mg of cholesterol per 100 g of edible part) [1], and their fat content is lower than that of fatty meat.

So-called collagen is actuallyA biomolecule, an important part of the connective tissue of animals, in the human body is mainly distributed in the teeth, skin, bones, tendons and other parts of the body[2]. One of the main reasons why young people's skin looks smooth and full, soft and supple is thatHigher amounts of collagen and elastic fibers are present in the dermis[3]. Collagen is like the steel reinforcement in a building, together with elastic fibers, it forms a net-like support body, firmly and powerfully supporting the dermis layer of the skin, thus making the skin look strong and elastic [3]. In addition, collagen has a strong affinity for water, can effectively "catch" water molecules, so that the skin will look more tender and full [4].

However, a harsh reality that escapes almost everyone is that theAs the body ages, the loss of collagen in the body begins to accelerate, the supply is less and less than the depletion, coupled with the oxidation of free radicals in the body as well as ultraviolet irradiation, are likely to damage the collagen structureIt's not going to be able to hold its original elasticity.that leads to sagging facial skin and wrinkles [3].

[Can eating more collagen-rich foods such as pig's trotters really help beautify the skin?]

With the above statements, it seems that eating more collagen-rich foods like pig's trotters, pork rinds, chicken wings, chicken skin, and fish skin will help to slow down skin aging.

However, by this point Chao is going to start throwing cold water on you. The fact is that eating the above mentioned foods does not have any special effect on toned skin!

The main reasons are analyzed by Chao as follows:

First, most of the components that make up human collagen arenon-essential amino acidThe human body can synthesize its own[3], so there is no need to intentionally eat more collagen-rich foods for additional supplementation;

Secondly, according to the nutritional value, we usually categorize proteins into high-quality proteins and general proteins, and theCollagen is a general protein with a low nutritional value, and its structural composition is not easily digested by the body's digestive enzymes.[2], the absorption utilization is extremely low, let alone digested and absorbed into collagen that beautifies the skin;

In addition, collagen-rich foods such as pig's trotters, beef trotters, and pork rinds oftenHigh in energy and cholesterol, and may pose some safety risks if consumed in excessAnd high-energy, high-fat, and especially fried foods tend to be more likely toCauses the body to produce free radicals, which may accelerate skin aging by oxidizing the skin.。

Visible, in order to a little bit of beauty benefits and blindly eat these foods, obviously pick up the sesame seeds lost watermelon, the loss is not worth it ah.

How to get a good facialSome?

Chao feels that since it is difficult to effectively generate human skin by directly consuming collagen-rich foods, why not change another way of thinking and find ways toSlows down the rate at which the skin is oxidized, thereby slowing down the loss of collagen in the skin.And?

See below for tips from Chao:

First, in terms of diet, we can properlyConsume more antioxidant-containing substances such as vitamin C, polyphenolsvegetable fruit, such as carrots, tomatoes, grapes, etc. [5] Try to eat a variety of different fresh vegetables and fruits every day, rich in antioxidants that can effectively protect the collagen in the skin and slow down its oxidation. Also todo one's utmostEat less high-fat, high-calorie foodsThe most important thing to remember is that the food is fried and spicy.Eating these foods tends to produce free radicals in the body, accelerating the aging of the organism and increasing the likelihood of dark spots, wrinkles, etc. on the skin.

Secondly, when out and aboutProper sun protection or moisturizing, dermatology believes that more than 90% of premature skin aging is due to improper sun exposure [5].

In addition, in terms of lifestyle habits, try toDevelop a good work routine.The most important thing is to stay up late at night, not to smoke or drink, to exercise properly, and to maintain a pleasant and relaxed mood as often as possible.good mood。

[Summary]

Therefore, you want to beauty, or do not send too much hope on pig's feet, pork skin, chicken claws and other foods containing more collagen, but should be a balanced diet, appropriate supplement some vitamin C-rich fresh fruits and vegetables, go out and pay attention to appropriate sunscreen or moisturizing, and maintain good habits and a relaxed and happy mood, long-term adherence to the skin may be able to maintain a more durable moisture and smoothness.

Pig's trotters are a common dish with a delicious flavor and are a favorite of many people, especially women, as many of them believe that pig's trotters contain a large amount of collagen, which is capable of beautifying the skin. So, what is collagen in the end? Pig's feet in the collagen can really beauty?

What is collagen?

Collagen is an important protein in the human body, widely present in all parts of the body, plays a role in supporting organs, protects the function of the body, and has a close relationship with the growth of the body, aging and disease. Collagen in the human body accounts for about one-third of the weight of all proteins, equivalent to six percent of the weight of the body. The main role of collagen in the human body is to strengthen bones and moisturize the skin. Collagen distributed in the interstitium of bones, internal organs cells and other parts of the body provides strength and support to these tissues. Collagen distributed on the skin also has a certain moisturizing function, can lock the water, make the cells more plump, so that the skin looks clear and transparent, plump and beautiful. The main reason why young girls' skin is smooth and full, supple and elastic is that there is enough collagen in the dermis layer of the skin.

Is the collagen in pig's feet really a beauty treatment?

However, we should not over-exaggerate the effect of collagen-containing foods such as pig's trotters on the skin. Collagen in the body is synthesized by the body's cells and has almost nothing to do with how much collagen-containing food is eaten. The body can only absorb free amino acids, and not directly absorb protein. Collagen in pig's feet is a macromolecular protein, after entering the body, it must be digested, broken down into free amino acids, in order to be absorbed into the bloodstream, reorganized to synthesize the types of proteins that our body needs. At this point, the inherent form and structure of pig's trotters collagen has long since ceased to exist, and it is impossible to supplement collagen in the form of collagen directly into the skin. Therefore, if we want to supplement collagen into the skin, it is impossible to achieve by eating foods such as pig's feet.

Do pig's feet only contain collagen?

Moreover, pig's feet in the collagen content is not as much as we thought, only in the top layer of skin, the skin is a lot of fat, excessive consumption will lead to elevated blood lipids and obesity, but also aggravate the burden on the digestive organs, liver, kidneys. Therefore, when we eat pig's feet, do not only think of the skin layer of that a little "not necessarily" can be used collagen, or to put more attention to the skin a lot of fat it.

In short, collagen does have the effect of beauty, but the premise must be the body's own collagen. Pig's trotters do contain some collagen, but basically useless for beauty, and pig's trotters contain a lot of fat, excessive consumption will lead to elevated blood lipids and obesity. Therefore, eat more pig's feet have "fat risk", be careful.

"Often eat pig's feet, beauty and beauty!" Pig's feet beauty myth is a household name, but must tell you, pig's feet beauty and skin care, too unreliable!

The pig's hooves are considered to be a beauty treatment only because they contain collagen. But we should be clear, from the pig's feet in the intake of collagen, to the skin into the collagen, is a long process, the final can "grow" in the face is not yet certain!

Connective tissue in pig's feet

indigestible

First of all, it is a difficult task to digest the pig's feet that you eat! Pig's trotters contain a lot of connective tissue, which is characterized by its denseness and cannot be easily invaded and digested by our digestive enzymes. As a result, the digestibility of pig's feet is very low, and it is no match for a bowl of vegetable porridge or a fresh egg custard.

Get collagen from pig's feet

Low conversion rate

The protein content of pig's feet in about 22%, and pork's only about 13%, although in the number of wins, but pig's feet in the protein and pork in the completely not the same thing. Pig's feet, chicken feet in the collagen is a typical incomplete protein, that is, with the body's needs are very inconsistent, is not popular a protein, eaten in, absorption and utilization rate is extremely low, not to mention that it is expected to go through the body's digestion and absorption can be converted into skin beautification of collagen.

The body synthesizes collagen

It has nothing to do with eating pig's feet.

In addition, the body's synthesis of collagen requires two raw materials, proline and lysine, but also need two "helpers": vitamin C (fresh fruits and vegetables are rich) and iron (liver, blood, lean meat is a good source). Collagen cannot be synthesized in the absence of any of these raw materials, and once they are sufficient, the body will synthesize collagen on demand, independently of whether or not it ingests pig's feet. Proline and lysine, which are needed for synthesis, are also not unique to pig's feet, but are found in milk, eggs, soybeans, fish and poultry.

High fat cholesterol content

Eating too much makes you fat.

Pig's feet beauty is not reliable, but more to remind everyone: pig's feet in the fat and cholesterol content is very high, can not eat more. Pig's feet in the fat content of 18.8 grams / 100 grams, higher than beef and lamb, and cholesterol up to 192 mg / 100 grams, accounting for more than half of the day's needs. Thinking of eating pig's feet beauty ladies pay attention, eat too much pig's feet not only can not beauty and beauty, but may cause overweight and obesity!

Konkan Tip:

★ Skin care and beauty, nutritional balance is very important, the intake of adequate milk, soy, fish and poultry meat and other high-quality protein, appropriate to eat some animal food to get iron; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to get vitamin C. In addition, adequate sleep, adequate water to the skin metabolism are beneficial.

★ "potion whitening pig's feet" news is common, whitening pig's feet have always been, a great health hazard. Purchase attention, the normal color of pig's feet is generally not possible snow-white snow-white, body without blood.

This is such a misunderstanding!

In fact, many girls are obsessed with eating collagen can beautiful skin. So whether it is pig's trotters or a variety of claw-like food, as long as it is high in collagen to eat like crazy.

But the truth is:

Collagen does not directly turn into the collagen needed in the skin. This is because after entering the body collagen is broken down into amino acid units, which are then reassembled into the various proteins that the body needs.

The key lies in the collagen is an incomplete protein, that is, "raw materials" is not complete, synthesis is limited, the body utilization rate is not high. Relying on eating claws or hooves to supplement collagen beauty is not reliable, but easy to ingest too much fat, long meat is not ambiguous. After gaining weight, the folds are indeed much less, all open ah.

To summarize is not obsessed with eating what make up what, every day rely on eating big pig's feet to beauty supplement collagen, only empty joy. We might as well spend money to buy some fish, poultry, meat, eggs, milk, these high quality protein content of food to eat, eat with fresh vegetables and fruits. Because the body synthesizes collagen materials needed is the perfect combination of high-quality protein and vitamin C. The body can also be used to synthesize collagen.

Beauty is a topic that has attracted much attention from girls since ancient times. Well, we often hear the argument that eating pig's feet can replenish collagen, so eating pig's feet can beautify. Is this true? Eat pig's feet really have the effect of beauty? Here we all come together to see it.

In fact, this statement is wrong. Eating pig's trotters does not have the role of beauty, let alone supplement collagen. Originally, everyone said that the pig's feet can be beauty claims from the "shape to shape" this statement, however, here this statement does not work.

For one thing, pig's trotters are very rich in connective tissue, so the structure in pig's trotters is very dense, and it is very difficult to be invaded and digested by human digestive enzymes. Therefore, it is still hard to say how much the human body can actually digest and absorb.

Secondly, the original protein, including collagen, is only absorbed when it is digested and broken down into amino acids or oligopeptides by the human body, and it cannot be absorbed in the form of protein. Therefore, pig's feet contain collagen does not mean that eating pig's feet can also supplement collagen.

Thirdly, those amino acids that can be absorbed by eating pig's feet are not necessarily still used to synthesize collagen, but according to the body's own synthesis needs and the metabolism of protein in the body to decide. Therefore, eating pig's feet can supplement collagen claims once again debunked.

To summarize, eating pig's feet can beautify this claim is not desirable. And, due to the high cholesterol and fat content in pig's feet, so eating too much pig's feet may also lead to obesity. In addition, if you want to beauty, you can eat more vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, etc., these foods are skin care.

It is rumored that pig's trotters are rich in collagen, and regular consumption of pig's trotters can replenish collagen and make the skin young and elastic.

Indeed, pig's feet are rich in collagen is not true, but eating collagen supplement collagen itself is a misunderstanding.

Collagen is involved in making up the skin of the body. When you are young, your skin has a high collagen content, which makes your skin firm and elastic, and as you age, your skin's collagen content gradually declines.

Collagen is a large molecule protein, large molecule protein can not be directly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, eaten collagen (whether through food or collagen preparations) will first be hydrolyzed into amino acids in order to be absorbed, the amino acids that make up the body in a total of 20, of which 8 are essential amino acids (the body can not be synthesized, can only be ingested through the food), these 8 kinds of essential amino acids are widely available in These 8 essential amino acids are widely available in fish, meat, eggs and milk and other high-quality protein, collagen amino acids are not any special. And compared with fish, meat, eggs and milk and other foods rich in high-quality protein, collagen essential amino acid composition ratio does not meet the body's needs, and the lack of an essential amino acid - tryptophan, so the absorption and utilization rate is lower, belongs to the non-essential amino acids.

As long as the fish, meat, eggs, milk and soy products to eat enough, protein (especially high-quality protein) intake is sufficient, the body synthesizes collagen raw material amino acids is sufficient, the raw material is sufficient, the body's actual synthesis of how much collagen is mainly genetic and hormone levels decided to eat even more collagen does not help.

And pig's feet itself has more fat content, often eat pig's feet not only can not beauty, but also easier to get fat.

If it is just for the sake of deliciousness, it is okay to eat pig's feet occasionally, but if it is for the sake of beauty and health, it is still recommended to eat as little as possible.

Collagen, also known as collagen, is a white, opaque, unbranched fibrous protein that is the most abundant protein in mammals, accounting for about one-third of the weight of the body's protein tissue,...Has the effect of maintaining skin elasticity and retaining skin moisture。

As we age, the body will continue to lose collagen, the loss of collagen skin will become more and more dry, lose elasticity to produce wrinkles.

Collagen does have moisturizing anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties. However, we should note thatEating collagen does not mean supplementing collagen. Collagen is a large molecule that the body cannot absorb and utilize directlyAfter consumption, it needs to be broken down into small molecules (amino acids, peptides, etc.) by the body's enzymes before it can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

These small molecules are then subjected to complex biochemical reactions in order to synthesize the proteins needed by the body to supply the tissues and organs. To put it simply.It is the collagen that is eaten that must be broken down and become raw material that can be synthesized into any kind of protein。

Let's say, pig's trotters decomposed into protein raw materials, like the home of the newly purchased flour, as for the final flour into steamed bread, rolls or bean buns, who can not say. Therefore, eating pig's feet for beauty effect is not obvious.

Time passes and people grow old.The body doesn't age because of collagen loss, it ages because of collagen loss. Trying to slow down the pace of aging by eating pig's feet is like trying to find a fish in a barrel, fishing for the moon in the water.

And pig's trotters contain not only collagen but also fat, cholesterol, and so on.High intake may also cause obesity, dyslipidemia and other problems. Pork trotters, it's better to eat them in moderation.

Many women have heard of eating pig's trotters can beauty claims, in order to anti-aging become young, like grasping a life-saving straw like a supplement again and again.

However, the claim that eating pig's trotters can replenish collagen is completely false!

Poke the video below, professional doctors tell you this supplement is effective~

Many female friends like to eat pig's feet what braised pig's feet, soybean stewed pig's feet, sauce pig's feet are not in the words, all into the abdomen!

It is said that "eating pig's feet can replenish collagen, but also down the milk to promote lactation" is this true?

The truth is - it's all just a beautiful legend!

Pig's trotters are indeed a food that contains collagen. But if you want to supplement collagen into the skin, it is impossible to achieve by eating pig's feet. Because after the food enters the gastrointestinal tract, it will first be digested, digested into peptides, and then digested into amino acids in order to be absorbed, and the absorbed amino acids will be transported to all parts of the body, and the body will be re-synthesized according to the needs of the proteins that are needed, including collagen, peptide chain proteins, and so on.

In addition, eating more pig's feet can be harmful instead.

Such as causing obesity, high blood fat and so on. In addition, we need to remind you that other oral collagen health food and pig's trotters is the same thing, and does not have the effect of replenishing collagen. Not to mention the skin care products that claim to contain collagen coated on the surface of the skin, not to mention the direct supplementation of the body's collagen needs. Pig's feet role is seriously exaggerated

Why do you eat pig's trotters so often your skin gets better? Because you gained weight.

This is the same reason that people with fuller figures also have relatively fewer wrinkles on their faces. The collagen content in pig's feet is not as much as we think, it only exists in the top layer of skin, under the skin is a lot of fat. Therefore, when we eat pig's feet, do not only think of the skin layer of the little "not necessarily" can be used collagen, or to put more attention to the large amount of fat under the skin. Fat has the role of lubricating the skin, if you eat pig's feet feel very slippery skin, that is not the role of collagen, but the intake of fat in your skin performance. Trying to rejuvenate your skin by pig's feet is likely to turn you into a red-faced, fine-skinned ......

Thanks to Wukong Q&A for the invitation (22)!

Pork trotters are rich in collagen, it's true, and the texture is tantalizing.

But can pig's feet really beautify your face?

1.The main thing people know about pig's trotters is that they are good for the skin, but that is not true!

Pork trotters are full of collagen, this is indeed true.But does collagen translate into blown-out skin on your face when you eat it? The answer is sad because collagen must beIt is broken down into individual amino acids by the digestive juices before it can be absorbed into the bloodstream, so eating collagen can only increase the supply of amino acids at best. Chicken claws and duck claws may taste good, but the cosmetic effect is also poor because collagen cannot be absorbed.

2. Pig's feet are very effective in gaining weight!

In addition, collagen itself is highly nutritious because pig's feet are super high in fat and cholesterol, and one pig's foot provides the cholesterol needed for a day.

However, the energy of beef is 125 calories/100g, pork is 143 calories/100g, pig's feet are almost twice as much as the above two, and the fattening effect can be imagined. Chicken claws, duck claws do not look so fat, but unfortunately, the energy and pig's feet as horrible.

So that's why it's a good idea to go on a pig's trotter munching spree for a bit of collagen, which isn't always absorbed, and within a few days afterward you'll be shocked by the amount of belly meat and pimples you'll have on your face.

As a final note, eat pig's trotters carefully and lightly, one at a time is enough!
