DRINKING water has always been associated with health – after all the human body is composed of 60% water. This statement is underscored by the well-known advice to drink eight cups of water a day.
However, not every water will make the cut. Nutritionists and health experts constantly recommend clean water rich in nutrients as the bedrock to a healthy, fulfilling life.
The many benefits of silica
Among these nutrients, silica is one of the most important due to its unique properties that increase collagen production.
For a better understanding, silica represents the third most abundant element in the body following iron and zinc.
Deep diving into the health benefits of silica, it stimulates fibroblast which releases collagen type 1 that minimises fine lines in youthful skin. Silica connects the collagen fibres, further stabilising its structure to make our skin stronger, improving upon its elasticity.
In short, people with smooth glowing skin consume diets containing an adequate amount of silica. We are what we drink.
That is not all. The benefits that silica brings to your health is holistic. For example, silica in adequate amounts promotes a healthy heart to complement your active lifestyle.
Besides aiding in skin aesthetics, this mineral delivers nutrients to the nail bed for stronger nails while preventing hair loss. Moreover, it rejuvenates the joints of legs and arms by boosting collagen production, thus improving our flexibility.
Speaking of the joints, silica promotes the absorption of calcium to build stronger, healthier bones too.
Moreover, it improves the digestive system, further contributing to the overall absorption of nutrients from our diet. Elderly people also benefit from the intake of silica, which helps maintain brain health, improving memory and mental focus.
Contemporary diet lacks silica
According to research, humans are all born with a high level of silica in our body. However, as we age, the silica concentration decreases, making it vital for us to replenish it periodically.
Research further suggests that a reduction of about 1% in collagen from our skin is likely after 21 years of age. This is a major cause for wrinkles during our twilight years.
Even though the recommended daily intake for silica has not yet been determined, the European Food Safety Authority suggests about 700 milligrams per day.
Shockingly, the average person consumes about 20 to 50 milligrams of silica per day, way below the recommended dosage.
Although silica can be found in a variety of animal and plant food, it is easily derived by consuming quality mineral water.
