Collagen, protein, omega‑3s, and colorful veggies feed not only skin but ligaments. Nutritionists now treat 'mobility years' as a core aging metric. Want practical science?

Add slow movement — squats, walks, balance drills. Each small nutrient choice is a vote for pain‑free independence decades later.
