Pooja Batra shared a new post on Instagram to explain the importance of exercising regularly and added that it actually “supports the production of collagen.” Collagen is the primary structural protein in the extracellular matrix found in the body's various connective tissues. The body produces “less and lower quality of collagen” after your mid-20s, Pooja said. But the good news here is that exercise “builds skin thickness and helps in collagen production by increasing blood circulation.” “Exercise actually supports the production of collagen. After mid-20s, your existing collagen breaks down. Collagen production goes down. Your body produces less and lower quality collagen. Good news is that you can slow the rate at which your levels decline and even build them back up! Exercise indirectly builds skin thickness and helps collagen production by increasing blood flow, oxygen and nutrients to your skin. The boost in this protein helps to keep your skin firm, supple, and elastic,” Pooja said in the caption of her post.
