hey dr. Berg here we’re going to talk

about what’s really behind liver spots

okay they’re also called aging spots or

solar Lenti go it’s not really the liver

now if the livers bad or dysfunctional

yes it can create all sorts of problems

with the skin but if you have actual

liver spots it’s coming from the vitamin

C deficiency okay

vitamin C protects the skin from the Sun

okay it’s called photo damage or damage

from the Sun or light so vitamin C

protects the skin from the Sun the skin

is collagen the epidermis is all

collagen and vitamin C is highly

involved in the formation of collagen

and if you look at some of the natural

creams out there they have serums for

the skin to get rid of aging spots what

are they they’re vitamin C based they

work on the external though you really

got to work on the inside out like

consume the food high in vitamin C not

necessary just put on the surface of

skin because it’s going to come back

next time you go to the Sun so as you

age and you have the accumulation of Sun

and you actually have a vitamin C

deficiency the combination of that gives

you these little brown spots so why why

are you vitamin C deficient as time goes

on it’s either two reasons number one

you’re you’re not consuming enough

vitamin C and I’m not talking about

taking vitamin C as a supplement most

vitamin C supplements are synthetic

they’re made from ascorbic acid and

they’re made artificially from

cornstarch and sulfuric acid so

especially if it’s over like 100

milligrams we know it’s synthetic okay

it’s artificial it’s not going to fix it

vitamin C in nature is a complex of a

whole bunch of different parts and so

you want to get it from the food or our

concentrated food so vegetables collard

greens cabbage bell pepper chili pepper

parsley all those are very high in

vitamin C large salads high in vitamin C

pasteurization when they cook vegetables

if you heat them you destroy the vitamin

C so like orange juice for example has

like not a lot of vitamin C because it’s

pasteurized so so that’s one thing

all right now number two the probably

the more likely reason why you’re

deficient vitamin C is not necessarily

you’re not getting the vitamin C it’s

because of a condition called insulin

resistance this is a lot of other videos

I have let insulin resistance of the

condition where your cells are blocking

insulin because of too much too many

carbs okay and then what happens or too

many frequent meals what happens it

sends a signal back to the pancreas and

it tells the body to make more insulin

so insulin resistance is a state where

you’re producing a large quantity of

insulin which then depletes vitamin C

okay in the presence of too much insulin

you’re not going to be able to absorb or

use vitamin C in the quantities you want

so you’ve got in the Sun you get this

aging spots liver spots of course not

the liver and that’s what’s causing it

so if you want to correct it

don’t use the external serums fix it

from within and correct the insulin

resistance and consume enough vitamin C

I’ll put some links down below how to do

that but that’s really what’s behind

liver spots thanks for watching hey you
