I usually go for catchier titles for my posts. Today I’m just being direct and to the point. Because I think we all want our bodies to be the best they can be.
And in the interest of being direct and to the point, I am recycling this post. It was first published in August of last year, but got so many views that I wanted to share it again. I did, however, brighten up the picture which was really dark before.
I’ve been raving about what collagen peptides do for your skin since I first started hhh. My skin is firmer today, at age 51, than it was ten years ago. Collagen peptides can also strengthen your hair and nails. But today I’m going to tell you how amazing they are for your body.
Ready?
💗 Collagen peptides can help you lose weight. That’s because collagen protein is more filling and satiating than other forms of protein like whey, casein or soy. Studies have shown that after taking collagen peptides, people had reduced appetite and consumed fewer calories at their next meal.
💗 Collagen peptides can make your workouts even better. There’s so much info about this that could easily be an entire blog post (and probably will be!) In a nutshell, collagen is good for all of your connective tissues. This means faster recovery from workouts and even from injuries. It can help maintain muscle mass. One thing I have noticed since I started using collagen peptides on a daily basis is that I very rarely get sore after a workout.
💗 Collagen peptides can reduce cellulite and stretch marks. Regular intake of collagen has been shown to increase skin thickness and elasticity. So not only does it make the skin on your face look younger and firmer, it can do the same thing all over your body. As skin becomes thicker and more elastic, cellulite and stretch marks are diminished.
My favorite way to use collagen peptides is to blend them into my coffee every day. They mix easily into hot or cold liquids, so you can throw them into your smoothie, green drink or tea also. There are TONS of ideas here on my website, and even more on my Instagram account @happyhealthyandhot_elizabeth
My favorite brand of collagen peptides is Further Food. They offer regular bovine peptides, sourced from grass fed cattle, and I use two scoops every day. In addition, they have marine collagen peptides that are sourced from wild cod. I haven’t tried these yet but plan to. I love everything about this company…quality, price and the fact that it’s owned and run by women who want to make the world a better place.

I find taking collagen peptides as part of my morning routine ensures that I get them every single day. I even carry little travel packs in my purse so I’m never without them.
So, can collagen peptides help you feel happy, healthy and hot? Absolutely!
You’ll be happy that they are so easy to fit into your daily routine. Adding collagen peptides is an easy and healthy way to get more protein into your diet. It can firm up the skin on your face and all over your body, help you lose weight and improve your workouts. With that beautiful skin and smokin’ body you’ll be hot for sure!
