Over the years I have been introduced to a lot of unorthodox methods for clear, young skin. Just recently I had a dear friend that kept insisting I tried this “delicacy.” I was absolutely opposed, until I realized this contains a key ingredient, collagen! So, as I share with you the benefits of this mystery food try to see if you would try it.

What is it you ask? CHICKEN FEET! Now, I initially thought is it worth it to try these for youthful and vibrant skin? Well, my friend made me a delicious soup containing chicken feet. He had mercy on me though and gave me just the broth. I am so excited to start incorporating this into my daily diet. Take a look at all the health benefits from eating them!

Chicken feet are a very rich source of collagen, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate. Hyaluronic acid has been labeled as the fountain of youth – it can prevent the effects of aging. Chondroitin sulfate has been proven to help with symptoms and the progression of osteoarthritis. Meaning it can decrease pain significantly due to joint problems.

What is collagen and how can it give my skin a youthful glow?
Collagen has been labeled as the protein that holds your body together. When it regenerates it creates elasticity and youthfulness in your skin, plus these other health benefits:
• Younger looking skin.
• Strengthens blood vessels.
• Helps metabolize fats, therefore it is good for weight loss.
• Slows the symptoms and progression of arthritis.
• Reduces inflammation.

Collagen supplements are expensive and not always easy to attain. This is an inexpensive way to get collagen in your diet. To enjoy the benefits of collagen try chicken feet in soup, broth or any dish you want!
In addition to skin benefits chicken feet can also help with joint pain. This is why Chinese martial art experts use chicken feet as part of their diet routine. If you start incorporating them in your daily diet you should start to see results within about 3-6 months! We’d love to hear your success stories how this impacts your skin and body health!
