Anti-aging foods, how to look younger naturally,
Alright before you inject Botox in your face or pay a surgeon to cut and pull your skin back, I wanna show you 23 anti-aging foods that can boost collagen. We all want healthy vibrant, radiating, glowing skin but there’s something absolutely crucial to having this age defying glowing skin. And the good news is, is you do have some control over it as we age. We’re talking about collagen my friend but first let’s quickly dive in to why we need collagen in the first place.
As we age, skin has many layers and if you’re not familiar with the layers let me show you exactly what the three layers are. The outer part, epidermis contains the skin cells, the pigment and the proteins. The middle part, the dermis contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and oil glands. The dermis provides to the epidermis. The inner layer under the dermis, the subcutaneous layer contains the sweat glands, some hair follicles, blood vessels and the fat. Skin changes are often determined by the sun, the food that we eat, genetic makeup, there’s all types of things that determine our skin will actually change. Collagen is a protein used by ourselves that helps keep the skin flexible, stretchable and keep it together. Did you know there’s 25 different types of collagen in the body? And actually twelve of those are used for the skin. As we age, unfortunately collagen isn’t used as effectively and you can actually damage your skin causing wrinkles, blemishes, sunspots, different things of that nature.
The good news is there a lot of all natural ways to keep your collagen young, youthful, glowing so that your skin maintains that youthful vigor that everyone wants. The anti-aging business spends billions and billions of dollars. One of the biggest industries on this planet to keep people looking young and the good news is, is we have collagen boosting foods right in our refrigerator and then some of our cabinets.

That’s great! Alicia we’re sending you a Kuving’s juicer. Use this to turbocharge those vitamins and minerals and keep us posted on how great you feel. Congratulations Alicia! Alright so now that you know the 23 things and you understand how collagen in your skin works, I just wanted to thank you so much for watching this video. Also remember aging in large part is a lot of it in your mind. And the more we stressed out about those grey hairs, of those fine lines and wrinkles on our faces, the faster we start to age. Cortisol, that stress hormone actually makes you age faster as well.
So one thing I wanna encourage you to do is continue to look in the mirror every single day and tell yourself how beautiful you are and how much you really love you and when you do that those stress levels are gonna start to go down. You’re gonna start to feel better, you’re gonna start to look better. Six months from now, people are gonna come up to you and they’re gonna ask what have you been doing? Because you look timeless, ageless. Stop celebrating those birthdays and start celebrating that ageless day because we’re only here for a moment and I want you to realize how precious this time is. And when you’re in the present moment you don’t have any time to think about how old you’re looking or how any lines and wrinkles you have on your face. So start to give back to you. Start to look at how beautiful you really are and stat to see others in the same light. The more we judge others, the more we’re judging ourselves.
So look within that radiating, that glowing, that beauty comes from within you. It’s not a reflection that you see in the mirror anyway, hope you enjoy this video.
