so in this video we’re going to talk about the aging face okay is there any

solution can you actually slow down this process unfortunately it’s inevitable

everyone is going to age but if there’s something we can do to slow it down that

would be a very good thing some people have accelerated aging other

people don’t a lot has to do with your environment which I’m going to touch on

as well is the strength of your ability to recover and repair there are certain

nutrients that are really necessary in the repair of your DNA and that relates

to how fast you age but typically what happens as we age we start getting these

horizontal and vertical lines or wrinkles on the forehead in between the

eyes you’ll notice that the skin especially on top of the eyelid starts

becoming very very thin almost paper thin you can see it on the cheeks as

well there’s loss of collagen there’s a loss of elasticity the ligaments that

support the skin to the face are atrophying they’re shrinking the fat on

the face starts to atrophy and you start losing that and starts to sag underneath

the eye lids right here you may also notice a dark circle underneath the eye as well

and the tissue on top of the eye and the eyelid starts drooping you may also

notice that the fat layer underneath the cheek bones becomes atrophied then you

start sagging tissue and so you lose your cheek bones so you have the sagging

eyebrows and the lids dark circles even bone loss around the face around the jaw

and the teeth you potentially could also lose the fullness around the lips and

there’s also a very thin kind of like a sheath muscle called the platysma

underneath your your neck that becomes atrophied and you get that turkey

gobbler appearance I think I’m actually starting to get that myself but other

than the wrinkles the sagging skin the dark circles and that little turkey

gobbler appearance you’re doing fantastic alright so let’s just kind of

forget about that for a second and talk about what can we do to slow this thing

down okay well there’s really two things happening you have the breakdown of

tissue and then have the building up of tissue okay I’m

talking about proteins at the cellular level so you have the oxidation or the

damaging of proteins that can definitely come from smoking smokers tend to age

prematurely and then there is people who get excessive amounts of Sun including

sunburns Sun Sun is good too much Sun could age the skin then you have the

chemicals that are put on the skin as well as in your foods and I know a lot

of women put up just layers of makeup on the skin on a daily basis and then you

take it off you just want to make sure that those chemicals are non-toxic then

you have alcohol that will age the skin in certain medications and recreational

drug and then you have sugar and junk foods and refined carbohydrates those

will definitely age your skin probably more than anything and then you have

stress okay on the flip side what do we do to counter that this is what you

should focus on regular exercise okay regular exercise that will counter this

regular exercise will provide a lot of oxygen to the lungs to the tissues it

will slow down the aging process especially on your face because it’s

going to drive blood flow into the tissues fasting very very powerful I’ve

done other videos on this in fact I’m going to put a link down below but

fasting will do two things it’ll increase your antioxidant Network to

counter some of this stuff right here it’ll also kick in and turn on certain

genetic factors that help something called autophagy recycling old damaged

tissue especially protein and giving you new tissue it’ll increase stem cells

especially if you do periodic prolonged fasting

to actually help your body replenish old cells so you have less wrinkles also

fasting helps your blood sugars and right there that’s going to actually

reduce oxidation now consuming antioxidant foods are a must and that

would be these things called vegetables especially cruciferous vegetables now

there’s other antioxidants and other foods too like seafood and grass-fed

meat and eggs as well but here’s the thing when you talk about DNA repair and

the nutrients required for DNA repair these

are the key nutrients that are essential and I put some of the research down

below vitamin b3 okay now the way that you become deficient is

by drinking a lot of alcohol or sugar or or also consuming a lot of corn will

cause a deficiency of b3 do you realize that the consumption of corn from the

70s to now has increased by 3x that’s crazy so we need b3 for DNA repair also

magnesium very necessary for DNA repair you can get magnesium from a lot of

vegetables leafy greens things like that zinc very necessary for DNA repair

shellfish seafood sea kelp oysters folate very important to

prevent DNA damage and protect the DNA and this word folate comes from another

word foliage which is vegetable so you get folate from vegetables and then

DHA which is an omega-3 fatty acid it’s in salmon sardines cod liver oil and

then you have vitamin C always make sure that you get it from a natural source

vegetables would be a good source all right it’s very simple focus on

increasing these and decreasing these if you haven’t seen my other videos on

Aging check them out I put them right here
