What foods or supplements are good for connective tissue?

For supporting connective tissue health, certain foods and supplements are highly recommended:

1. Nutrient-Dense Foods: Foods like eggs, salmon, leafy greens, liver, and bone broth are particularly beneficial. Eggs and salmon are rich in nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and choline, which are crucial for brain development and overall health. Leafy greens provide natural folate, while liver is a good source of iron and vitamin A, essential for immune system and lung function. Bone broth, rich in collagen and glycine, is beneficial for the development of bones, skin, and connective tissues 1.

2. Anti-inflammatory Diet: Reducing intake of sugars and refined carbohydrates while increasing good fats (like olive oil and ghee) and greens can help maintain healthier connective tissue. This dietary approach promotes better lubrication of joints and fascia 2.

3. Collagen Supplementation: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and vital for connective tissues like ligaments and tendons. Types of collagen, especially undenatured type II collagen, can significantly improve joint health. Regular supplementation may support the overall health of joints and other connective tissues 3.
