Antioxidants, Nutritional Supplements & Facial Wrinkles
By the Editor | July 23, 2010
Some fine lines on the face may be unavoidable if we live long enough. But, the visible signs of age can be minimized in the same way that aging inside of the body can be kept to a minimum. Good nutrition is the key.
You do not need large amounts of vitamins. You just need a balanced diet and good anti aging natural supplements to help you along. It’s very difficult , if not impossible, to get every nutrient that you require every day from the foods that you eat. Studies (conducted in the US and Canada) have proven that vegetables contain less nutrients than they had in the past, due mainly to soil depletion.
Some of the most helpful antioxidants cannot be found in common every day foods. For example, curcumin is one of the most potent antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatories. It is only found in turmeric.
So what do nutrients have to do with wrinkles? It has to do with the causes of aging.
Two of the root causes of aging are free radical damage and inflammation. Antioxidants reduce free radical damage. Natural skin care products and natural anti-inflammatories keep inflammation to a minimum without causing damage to the skin or the body’s organs the way that anti-inflammatory drugs do.
You may have heard that Human Growth Hormone is the key to youthful looks and feeling good for life. But, the real key is supporting your body’s ability to produce HGH. In order to do that, you need to sleep well and get the right nutrients in your diet.
Other causes of an aged appearance include decreased production of new skin cells and elastin fibers. Anti aging creams have been proven in clinical studies to jump start the production of new cells and fibers. Particularly beneficial for this purpose is a protein known as Functional Keratin.
Anti wrinkle creams containing active keratin help to reduce facial wrinkles with continued use, and they offer a cosmetic benefit by “hiding” the wrinkled areas. It’s a trick of the light, but it does make you look better right away.
If you take the time to learn more about how nutrients fight and reverse facial wrinkles, and you act on the information, you will improve your appearance and enjoy better health.
