according to 163Liu's latest film project, the TV series “The Tale of the Rose”, has broken several records in terms of media metrics, advertising reach and popularity. The 37-year-old actress has received widespread praise for her vivacious and youthful performance, especially her ageless beauty, for her convincing portrayal of Huang Yimei, the beautiful and intelligent 22-year-old student.
Her secret is a daily diet rich in collagen, which comes from:
1. egg
Liu maintains the habit of eating boiled eggs for breakfast, as eggs are rich in protein, which is essential for stimulating collagen production.
Additionally, other nutrients found in eggs, such as vitamins A, B and amino acids, can boost collagen metabolism and improve skin elasticity, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
2. Fish
Fish is more easily absorbed by the body than meat and is considered a nutritious food to include in your daily diet. It has a protein content comparable to meat and contains essential minerals that promote health, stimulate collagen production and promote youthful looking skin.
3. Fresh fruit
Liu frequently consumes fresh fruit and fruit juice every day, with apples, grapefruit and guava being her favorites.
Fruits contain natural collagen, which not only boosts immunity but also promotes the synthesis of endogenous collagen in the body, helping to slow down aging. Guava, apple and grapefruit are the fruits with the highest collagen content.

4. Lean chicken
Along with fish, lean chicken is also a staple in Liu's diet. It's rich in protein, which is converted into amino acids during digestion, stimulating collagen production and helping to keep skin elastic and firm.
5. Fresh milk
Fresh milk is rich in vitamins and proteins that promote collagen production, helping to prevent wrinkles and slow aging. Ms. Liu often drinks fresh, unsweetened milk in the morning to support her health, enhance the beauty of her skin, and maintain her figure.
Liu first rose to fame with her role in the 2003 TV series “The Nobles,” and then smoothly transitioned into a successful career in film.
By 2009, she was recognized as one of the New Four-Dan Actresses, a term originally used to describe the successors of China's four most bankable actresses, which included Xu Jinglei, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Vicky Zhao.
