EAT YOURSELF BEAUTIFUL

BETTER AGING: TO FULLY ENJOY DOING SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOURSELF

Eat yourself beautiful - naturally beautiful with collagen at the 4-star Hotel Rösslhof

Here at our 4-star Hotel Rösslhof, we combine nature, enjoyment and holistic health to create a holiday experience that gets under your skin - in the truest sense of the word.

Because true beauty begins from within. As part of our culinary concept and the Rösslhof gourmet journey, we consciously emphasize foods that support the body's own collagen production and inhibit the breakdown of this important structural protein.

Tip: Collagen-rich diet and longevity

"A diet that protects collagen (lots of vegetables, healthy fats, little sugar, lots of phytochemicals) is also a central component of longevity concepts and therefore strongly anti-inflammatory."

Enjoyment leads to inner balance and outer beauty.

Every day, we highlight at least two ingredients that are scientifically proven to promote or protect collagen production and contribute to longevity. We combine culinary enjoyment with sound medical expertise from our medical beauty practice. Let us surprise you every day.

Dishes that pay attention to collagen content are part of the culinary concept at the 4-star Hotel Rösshof in Ramsau am Dachstein.

Why collagen is so important

Collagen is a key building block in our bodies, making up approximately 30% of the total protein in our connective tissue. It ensures smooth skin, strong nails, healthy hair, stable joints, cartilage, bones and tendons, and elastic intervertebral discs.

It gives the body a firm shape and is a component of the intestinal mucosa. It acts like a framework that holds our tissues together and ensures resilience and elasticity.

However, from the age of 25, the natural breakdown of collagen begins – accelerated by stress, UV radiation, environmental toxins, or an unbalanced diet. This is precisely where our concept comes in: with a carefully selected range of foods and preparation methods that naturally support the body in collagen formation, cross-linking, and maintenance.

This is precisely where our concept comes in : with a well-thought-out selection of foods and preparation methods that naturally support the body in both collagen formation, cross-linking and maintenance.

Rich in collagen: These ingredients make the difference

Our kitchen team incorporates ingredients like salmon, chicken with skin, eggs, or beef daily – rich in valuable amino acids such as glycine, proline, and lysine, which are essential for collagen synthesis. These are complemented by colorful vegetables and fruits like bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, and berries, which are particularly high in vitamin C – a key vitamin for converting these amino acids into collagen fibers.

Zinc, copper, and silicon also play an important role, which is why we specifically use ingredients like legumes, nuts, tofu, and oats. Furthermore, secondary plant compounds from green tea, turmeric, beetroot, or dark chocolate protect existing collagen tissue from oxidative stress—an effect we like to complement with a Collagen Drink Blue Beauty or a warm "Coffee 2 Glow."

Our selection of fermented foods, such as homemade sauerkraut, yogurt, tempeh, and miso, completes our offerings. These not only promote gut health and the absorption of micronutrients, but also provide valuable enzymes and natural co-factors for metabolism.
