Why do some people get injured so easily?

Dude, just eat a richly varied diet.

I have no idea. I played hockey as a kid and lots of my teammates got hurt but I never did and I played equal/greater in roughness.

Even after years of running, I've never gotten hurt. A good diet and good genes, I guess.

If you want healthy joints as an older person then ideally one would do exercises which improve flexibilty as that aspect diminishes with aging. Yoga is ideal. Stretching exercises as well. Movement, movement and more movement. Being Sedentary is fine sometimes but not when it is the majority of your day.

I am in my early 20's. What nutrients help increase collagen?

I have a smallish frame so football left me injured more times than healthy. I also have to be careful with not going to heavy during lifting or it is an inevitable injury.
