"What's more, Koreans consume a lot of collagen-based dishes and soups. Think of collagen as the gatekeeper of moisture in our cells, a "wall" to keep our cells hydrated so they don't lose structure or lead to weaker, stretchier, and thinner skin i.e. wrinkles, fine lines, dry skin, cellulite, and the loss of structure in your hair follicles (integral to holding on to your hair). Ingesting collagen facilitates new regeneration of skin, muscle, bones and joint cells, which is something my mother and grandmother never let me forget if I ever decided to be picky with my food."
