You Asked: Should I Eat Collagen Powder?

The word “collagen” comes from the Greek word for glue, and that’s a helpful way to think about the role collagen plays in your physical health. In your skeleton, tendons, muscles, skin and even your teeth, collagen is a structural protein that binds cells and tissues together while helping them maintain shape and integrity.
But your body produces less and less collagen as you age. And some supplement- and food-makers are marketing collagen products as a way to boost your body’s levels of it.
“Collagen is basically the sale of amino acids,” says Dr. Mark Moyad, director of preventative and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan, and author of The Supplement Handbook. Amino acids are protein’s building blocks, and supplements and foods that have collagen contain chains of collagen-derived protein amino acids—or sometimes just the amino acids themselves, separated from their bonds, Moyad says. There are different types of collagen; some are derived from animal bones or skin, and others from animal cartilage.

His real name was Arthur Fellig, and, once you get past the shock factor, there’s a real art to the ease with which he captured the horror of human injury. He traversed the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1930s, and his camera caught a lot. Take a look: Standard Practice Dead Guys As a crime scene photographer, Weegee did exactly what was needed of him: he captured the scenes in every stage of an investigation. Here we see a specialist examining a corpse lying on the sidewalk — just one of the many stages of cleaning up a murder that Weegee was assigned to cover. Standard Practice Dead Gal...

Pictures That Really Need To look At To Understand

Image
Sometimes, the angle of the photograph, the position of the subject, the background, and people’s emotions on their faces, make a picture turn out to be really funny. Sometimes a funny picture may look like something which actually it is not and you really need to look at it to understand what it actually is. Some of these  funny pictures  have even been deemed offensive and have been removed by website administrators, who did not realize that they were not what they look like. Here are some funny pictures that will give you a laugh if you don’t understand what they are actually. 1- Woman With The Face Of A Dog The dog’s face doesn’t belong to the woman. The woman’s face is hidden behind the seat while the dog’s face is protruding in the picture which makes you think it’s a dog with a woman’s body. 2- The Woman Grabbing Her Crotch It may look like a vulgar picture to look at, this is actually a woman grabbing the legs of her friend in black. 3- A Wom...
