today we’re going to talk about how to

look younger now if you tell people what

to do without the why to do it a lot of

times they won’t do it so today i’m

going to go into the why as well as what

to do this information is good for new

people as well as those people who have

been watching my channel for quite some

time so to look younger on the outside

you really have to be younger on the

inside now and when we’re dealing with a

youthful look

we’re dealing with targeting the

accumulation

of damaged

proteins okay so the more damaged

proteins you have

internally and externally the older

you’re going to look and so i’m going to

talk about a lot of different parts of

this puzzle but let’s start with

this term ages what is ages

stands for advanced

glycation

and products now what the heck is that

that is a combination

of a sugar molecule

with a protein molecule

when you take sugar and protein and you

heat them up you end up with these ages

okay so basically proteins

that are now damaged and unavailable and

they can create a lot of problems

throughout the body

but they can also make you look really

old now ages could also be a combination

of glucose and fat heated as well

so let me just kind of make this really

simple if you were to consume this thing

called

ice cream for example you’re basically

heating

glucose lactose

sugar

with milk proteins

very high heats boy you’re just

consuming a product that is just

loaded with these ages so ice cream

would be a perfect combination of fat

and sugar heated another one would be

barbecued ribs right you take these ribs

protein and you put all the sugar sauce

on it and you heat it and this is the

product when someone consumes a

barbecued ribs

they might notice about an hour later

that their their body is sluggish they

have a lot of sinus issues and so this

is why it’s so important when you’re

making barbecued ribs

use a sauce that doesn’t have sugar use

spices like a dry rub that has no sugar

just spices and sea salt now what about

a soda yeah when you have all this sugar

and you have caramel coloring and you

heat this soda boy you’re not just going

to get

the consumption of these ages but all

the sugar in your body

with the temperature of 98.6 is going to

combine with your own

blood proteins for example

and other proteins and create all this

damage protein binding combinations in

fact when you get your a1c tested you’re

measuring the accumulation of excess

glucose in your bloodstream over a

period of three months so when you get

your a1c and it’s high

it just tells us how much glycation is

going on in your red blood cells you

need to be in the lower fives not six

seven eight

i’ve had people had eleven all that

means is they’re exposing their blood to

a lot of sugar creating glycation and

that protein and now is

damaged and it’s going to clog a lot of

things up all right now let’s take a

french fry which is a starch which is

basically kind of all these glucose

molecules stuck together

and then it also is deep fried in fat

okay so we have fat

plus the starch

deep fried equals a tremendous amount of

age so if you want to look really old

real fast

keep consuming fries then you have

potato chips right same deal starch with

some oil deep fried not good how about a

donut right you have this deep fried

donut boy you have

refined carbohydrate with

probably like

corn oil or soy oil or whatever type of

oil they use oh my gosh deadly

i remember going to

the kutztown fair in pennsylvania where

they had deep fried ice cream deep fried

potatoes and deep fried oreos deep fried

everything in fact you don’t see a lot

of young people walking around on that

fair now what about a burger right a

hamburger well we have this meat with

ketchup

and then we have a bun

of course you want to add fries to that

and a coke wow you talk about ages on

steroids a perfect deadly combination to

look older really quick

and then you have pretty much every

combination of fast food

that you would find in a fast food

restaurant you have chinese food you

have mexican food these are all examples

of ages and these are things that make

you older and these are the things that

you need to avoid okay let’s talk about

how to get rid of ages from your body

okay well the gesso happens to be a

condition called autophagy

which is like a an oven

that can cook and break down ages

damage proteins and

old proteins as in old skin cells

and it repurposes

these proteins so autophagy stands for

auto meaning self

feige means eating

so your body is eating its own proteins

in a way it’s repurposing and recycling

old damaged proteins

and making new ones so autophagy is

really good for ages it’s good for

old wrinkled skin

and it’s an essential condition to make

you younger and the biggest way to get

into autophagy

is through fasting okay now for those of

you that are new to my channel i would

highly recommend starting with

intermittent fasting i put some links

down below but for those of you that

have been watching my channel that are

doing fasting already let’s say you’re

doing two meals a day i would recommend

going to one meal a day that’s called

omad

now for those of you that are doing omad

i would recommend to do what’s called

dry omad now what’s dry omad i’ll be

doing some videos on this topic but dry

fasting which is basically not consuming

any water as well as no food

creates

a

compounding effect

it’s like three times as powerful

so if you’re going to do dry omad you

would drink no water all day except

at night when you have that one meal but

a lot of people are doing dry fasting

for more than just one day they’re doing

it for two days three days four days up

to seven days or a longer because you

can generate water from your fat cells

now i’m not going to get too much into

that in this video but it’s very very

very very powerful but it’s more

advanced and so i don’t recommend it

unless you’ve done regular water fasting

for a period of time but if you want to

take the next level you want to start

doing dry fasting

with omega so i highly recommend

if you want youthful skin to get a

certain amount of sun okay but just make

sure you don’t go to the burning level

there’s certain types of light

frequencies or wavelengths like infrared

that

tend to buffer

the damaging effect of uv light and so

the benefit of infrared

wavelengths

can be extremely beneficial to looking

youthful because it’s going to generate

a lot of

melatonin

and if you haven’t seen my video

on that topic i put it down below but

melatonin is not all about sleep

it’s about being an antioxidant and

getting rid of free radical damage

all of your cells can make melatonin and

so there’s two types of melatonin one

for sleep one for antioxidants and one

way to generate that is through sunlight

you just want to make sure you don’t

overdo it but regular exposure to sun

is extremely beneficial

to looking younger and that’s one of the

problems in the winter when you can’t

get sun you tend to look a bit older and

pasty and

you don’t have that youthful glow now

let’s talk about environment okay your

environment is just filled with

chemicals poisons drugs i mean it’s just

really hard to avoid that thank goodness

we have

our liver that can

dismantle these poisons okay it can

dismantle heavy metals it can dismantle

pesticides and insecticides pollution

chemicals in your in the water chemicals

in the food and that’s called phase one

phase two

detoxification okay and so your liver

has certain enzymes that can be boosted

with certain foods

to help get rid of poisons

so a really important part of looking

youthful is having a healthy liver if

your liver is serotic or filled with

cirrhosis scar tissue or it’s filled

with fat or it’s inflamed

you’re going to look old so

anything you can do

to strengthen the liver is going to make

you look younger and there’s a couple

things i’m going to just mention right

now

cruciferous vegetables okay

they have certain phytonutrients that

can boost

your natural enzymes to help phase one

phase two detoxification okay so that’s

number one not to mention vegetables

giving you antioxidants directly to help

act as a scavenger or like a sponge to

clean up all this free radical damage

that’s occurring due to inflammation or

chemicals or heavy metals etc so as you

add more

cruciferous vegetables like kale

broccoli brussels sprouts arugula i like

arugula in my salads you are going to

create a healthy liver and the thing

about the youthful look it has to be

created

continually okay a lot of times people

just neglect

this creation of health and then they

wonder someday where they what happened

to my body

but it has to be continually created

every single day

now a lot of these poisons and chemicals

and toxins that come through the liver

you need

bile to help eliminate these toxins so

bile is very very important in that

youthful look not just in the

elimination of toxic waste

but also in the extraction

of fat soluble vitamins which you need

desperately

to look youthful like vitamin a

e

d

and omega-3 fatty acids which is not a

vitamin but it’s just a

essential nutrient which all these fat

soluble compounds that you need to make

the skin look

youthful is dependent on this bile so if

you don’t have enough bile because of

various reasons let’s say you have a

fatty liver

let’s say you’re on a low fat diet

because fat stimulates bile

or you have some type of you know let’s

say you had gallstones and you removed

your gallbladder so a bile deficiency

will cause you to end up with a

deficiency of the fat cycle vitamins and

omega-3 fatty acids all the things that

you really need to look youthful so this

is why a combination

of enough bile and consuming enough fat

to get these fat cyber vitamins are

really necessary to have that youthful

look this is why people going on a low

fat diet end up looking older because

they don’t have the benefits of the

vitamin a d

e and omega-3 fatty acids so let’s just

touch on the type of fat that i’m

talking about i’m talking about like

fatty fish like salmon

amazing for omega-3 fatty acids which is

essential for the anti-inflammatories

and to counter all the omega-6 fatty

acids that are also in our diet like the

corn oil

canola soy oil the cottonseed oil it’s

in just so many foods it’s in foods that

you’re going to find when you go out to

eat

and all that creates a lot of

inflammation and it just makes you look

older in fact it affects the eyes as in

age-related macular degeneration which

is

very very very common and just having

older looking skin but fatty fish is

very very important okay

the second thing is egg yolks you’re

going to get a lot of good vitamin a

from egg yolks and you’re also going to

get choline

in egg yolks that’s great for a fatty

liver and to help you regulate

cholesterol there’s lecithin in egg

yolks too which help regulate

cholesterol because people are as

concerned about the cholesterol and egg

yolks but it has the antidote to

that cholesterol as well

and also by the way

you need foods high in cholesterol to

build healthy

membranes in your cell to build healthy

sex hormones that make your skin look

youthful like testosterone and estrogen

you need all that good cholesterol to

make healthy looking skin this is why

people that are on cholesterol

medication like statins end up looking

really old and they end up having a lot

of side effects with the muscles and

inflammation

and

they can’t make bile

you need cholesterol to make bile bile

is just so important and one thing you

start doing too is start taking purify

bile salts to help extract some of these

fat soluble nutrients from the cells if

you’re deficient so egg yolks very very

important

butter

butter can give you a lot of vitamin a

don’t be afraid to consume butter just

make sure it’s grass-fed and then we get

to vitamin e now the best source of

vitamin e is sunflower seeds

but it’s also in the leafy greens it’s

in nuts

it’s in vegetables okay so

vitamin e is very very important in skin

as well as internally now another good

oil would be cod liver well cod liver

oil has vitamin d

as well as vitamin a

as well as omega-3 fatty acids okay so

cod liver and cod liver oil very very

important as well as

beef liver too i personally can’t eat it

because i don’t like the taste but if

you like liver

liver and onions go for it organ meats

are loaded with these fat soluble

vitamins extra virgin olive oil very

very important avocados avocado oil

awesome for your skin so in other words

you don’t want to go low fat

there’s a diet which i don’t recommend

by the way it’s called ideal protein

now it’s keto it’s low carb

but it’s also low fat

so it’s not really

from my definition a healthy version of

the ketogenic diet and if you ever look

at someone who’s done the ideal protein

diet

boy do they look old

there’s their hair

their skin it looks all dried out

it doesn’t look youthful so you might

lose weight

but

you don’t look healthy now there’s one

little interesting thing i want to tell

you about

vegetables okay

you might not think

that there’s much fat in vegetables

but

a lot of the phytonutrients

like chlorophyll

like carotenoids and the list goes on

and on and on

are all fat soluble

so to extract these wonderful

antioxidants

as well as

amazing phytonutrients

you need

bile and you also need to eat them with

fat so

when you have a salad put the extra

virgin olive oil on it when you’re

consuming

a cruciferous vegetable put some olive

oil on it consuming the greens with an

oil will help you extract these

wonderful phytonutrients which not only

are loaded with the antioxidants but

they also help that phase one phase two

detoxification we’ve talked about and by

the way phytonutrients also help

stimulate

autophagy okay on the topic of free

radical damage okay

in order to handle excess amount of free

radical damage

and oxidation which makes you look older

there’s two types of antioxidants

there are endogenous antioxidants which

are antioxidants that your body makes

okay and then there’s exogenous

antioxidants which you get from food

okay so if you need to consume a lot of

greens and vegetables to get those

antioxidants but your own body has

antioxidant networks which increase

when you exercise

which increase when you do fasting

so fasting

helps you with just about every aspect

of looking youthful and so every time

you do fasting you actually increase

antioxidants internally pretty cool now

i’ve already mentioned about the

combination of glucose and protein and

glucose and fat but just glucose in

general okay

consuming a high carb diet

is probably

the fastest way to look older because if

you ever take a look at a diabetic boy

they age so fast the sugar is like rust

and it oxidizes not just the inside of

your arteries and the eye and the nerves

and the brain and the kidney but your

skin it’ll make your skin look really

old and every time you consume glucose

of any kind

you also at the same time block vitamin

c the chemistry of vitamin c is very

similar to glucose

and so you’re blocking vitamin c

which is another powerful antioxidant

and you’re also depleting other

antioxidants from your body when you

consume sugar and like vitamin b1 which

is also an antioxidant and you’re

basically just

making your skin look really really old

very fast and of course if you smoke

you’re really depleting these

antioxidants and vitamins especially

vitamin c that the requirement or demand

for antioxidants and vitamin c and other

vitamins go way up

if you’re a smoker because you’re

putting

all this pollution internally

so one way to age prematurely is just

just keep smoking so if your smoker do

whatever you can to you know kick the

habit but in the meantime if you’re

making this transition

and you’re coming off smoking or let’s

say you’re

coming off alcohol which is another way

to age very fast you want to take a lot

of antioxidants not from a pill but from

food you want to consume a lot of greens

to and do a lot of fasting and do all

the things that i’m talking about

to

counter

all this free radical damage that’s

occurring in the body now another point

i want to bring up

is this thing called stress

stress puts your body into

two situations one it puts your body

into a glucose situation where

your your body is now

tapping into glucose’s fuel it’s turning

things into glucose so even though you

got off carbs

you’re still consuming carbs if you have

a lot of stress so that’s one thing and

then the other thing is that it’s

creating a catabolic or a breakdown

effect of proteins

your skin

so one way to age is just to go through

a lot of stress

so you’re going to have to actively

work hard at countering the amount of

stress

in our environment unfortunately you

can’t escape it but you can do things to

counter it and slow it down you can

actively and aggressively do

continue regular exercise you can do a

lot of fasting both intermittent

and prolonged fasting you can do

physical work which is probably one of

the best ways to counter stress you can

work on improving your sleep okay and

one really great technique is to

control your breathing start breathing

through your nose especially when you’re

sleeping and slow down your breathing i

i have a really good video on that if

you haven’t seen that i will put a link

down below but controlled breathing can

pull you out of a panic attack and

really keep your stress under control

but stress is another factor that i need

to bring up because it’s a really

important thing the other point i want

to bring up is

protein

you want to make sure the protein is

quality so organic grass-fed well caught

fatty fish

seafood is important for

quality proteins as well as trace

minerals which help the skin

then we have pasture-raised eggs

very very

important versus the commercial eggs

then you have wild caught animal

products and then we also get to the

amount of protein

a healthy ketogenic plan is a moderate

amount of protein it’s not a high

protein diet what do you think happens

when you consume excessive amounts of

protein that you’re not

converting into body proteins

well that protein is then used for fuel

and it’s also creating a lot of waste in

your body so it’s very important not to

overdo it on the protein if you want to

look youthful so

i’m not recommending going low protein

just a moderate amount a real simple

rule of thumb would be the amount of

protein

on the palm of your hand

times two if you’re male

or just times one if you’re female just

to keep it really really simple that

would be a moderate amount of protein

and then the last point i want to bring

up

is your microbiome

your microbes in your gut help make

fat fatty acids

called short chain fatty acids which are

really important in

controlling blood sugars

in making your insulin more sensitive in

getting rid of insulin resistance

they also make vitamins b vitamins they

also make factors that help your immune

system and decrease inflammation and on

top of that

they make secondary bile

so they help you make bile which is also

very very important in the extraction of

the fat type of vitamins

so having a really good microbiome is so

essential in that youthful look and one

of the best foods for establishing this

microbiome is fermented vegetables so

like the sauerkraut

probably the best food for your skin

but there are other types of things like

pickles and other fermented vegetables

that are very very important because

they give you the prebiotic and the

probiotic at the same time all right i

packed a lot of information in this

video i hope you took notes

watch it again

implement the stuff for that youthful

look but the next most important video

to watch

is on autophagy

so check it out i put it right here
