so let’s talk about wrinkles so many people  um are applying all sorts of anti-aging creams  

lotions cleansers to rub off all the dead skin to  hopefully have this new skin be replenished but  

let’s first dive into exactly what happens  as you age in relationship to what happens  

with your skin so number one you have the  loss of elastin fibers elastin is a protein  

that helps to keep the tone of the  skin there so for example if you were  

to have some type of elastic protein that’s  overstretched that’s what happens as you age  

so you lose that rubber band effect okay number  two you actually have an overall loss of collagen  

not necessarily because you’re not eating enough  protein or collagen it’s because of growth hormone  

and that’s the next one growth hormone  has everything to do with preserving  

proteins so as you lose growth hormone as you  age you lose that capacity to make collagen now  

also realize collagen needs vitamin c so you also  need vitamin c from the diet a couple little side  

things you need to know about vitamin c smoking  blocks the absorption of vitamin c consuming sugar  

will block your ability to absorb vitamin c as  you age you’ll have less retention of moisture  

so the skin tends to dry out and so this is not  necessarily just a matter of drinking more water  

just the skin itself has less ability to retain  that water all right and number six less able to  

repair and there’s a lot we can do about this  as far as slowing down the process of repair  

and regenerate because you need certain  nutrients to help that repair action and  

also you have the um too much damage from sun  right take a look at any farmer that’s out in  

the sun for many many years i mean their their  skin is like leather so too much overexposure  

of uv radiation from the sun is going to  majorly affect your skin also too much stress  

right with cortisol cortisol is a catabolic  hormone it tends to break down proteins  

too much insulin as in too much sugar will  oxidize and age your skin as well smoking i  

already covered that there’s a lot of oxidation  a lot of premature aging going on and of course  

alcohol your skin is not just your skin it’s the  reflection of your organs not just your liver but  

the colon the stomach the gallbladder the whole  thing the other point i want to bring up is  

this cleansing process a lot of women are  overdoing it with the cleansers okay so they’re  

scrubbing their skin they’re sterilizing their  skin by removing this layer of microbiome  

that should be on the skin and so now it gets  red it doesn’t heal i’m going to recommend you  

really focus on your diet okay this is something  that’s very very underestimated as far as putting  

attention on it you want foods that are high  in flavonoids carotenoids tocopherols these  

are antioxidants in our foods vitamin a vitamin d  and vitamin e these are fat soluble vitamins but  

guess what you need a good liver and gallbladder  so you can make enough bile to absorb these so one  

very important uh point i want to bring up is it’s  not just about eating foods that are high in fat  

like to give you these fat soluble nutrients  it’s being able to break down the fats with  

bile having healthy gallbladder liver and then  emulsifying these fats and then absorbing them so  

if you don’t have a gallbladder if you’re missing  bile that could be the reason why you’re not  

getting these key nutrients into the skin vitamin  c is very very important we already mentioned that  

manganese magnesium potassium selenium zinc  are the minerals why do we need the minerals  

for hydration as electrolytes as well as cofactors  to help build up the proteins in your skin omega-3  

fatty acids very very very vital and to act as an  anti-inflammatory versus the omega-6 which i’ve  

talked about a lot in my other videos so these are  the foods that i would recommend consuming more of  

bell peppers especially red ones okay because  the red bell peppers have way more vitamin c  

than the green bell peppers avocados are loaded  with vital nutrients pomegranate seeds loaded with  

a lot of things especially phytonutrients and it  has one phytonutrient that helps support collagen  

i actually love pomegranate seeds what a crest  it’s a type of cruciferous i did a video on this  

that has some very unique properties to support  skin health blueberries don’t consume the dry  

blueberries consume the organic blueberries that  are not freeze-dried because they’re lower in  

sugars and have a lot of great properties for skin  also make sure that you’re consuming large salads  

that are nutrient dense every single day and fatty  meats fatty fish and seafood a couple additional  

really important points make sure you’re doing  periodic prolonged fasting in addition to regular  

intermittent fasting if you want really nice skin  you need to be doing fasting fasting helps recycle  

old damaged proteins so the more fasting  you do the better your skin is going to be  

keeping your exercise for circulation and also  keep in your sleep so you can keep your course all  

in check as well hey before you go if you’re  benefiting from any of my content i would
