Wrinkles are an inevitable aging process that worries many women. But the secret of youth is hidden not only in expensive cosmetics, but also in proper nutrition.
Oku.AzAs reported by Lenta.ru, the famous American nutrition expert Eric Berg spoke about it.
According to the expert, by the age of 40, approximately a quarter of the collagen in the connective tissue of the human body is lost.
“The body produces collagen from dietary amino acids, but this capacity gradually decreases after the age of 20. That is why it is important to follow a certain nutritional regimen,” says Eric Berg.
The expert presented a list of products that help combat wrinkles and maintain the beauty of the skin.
First of all, he highlighted the importance of vitamin “C” for the formation of collagen. For this, sauerkraut is considered the most suitable food due to its richness in vitamins.
“Liver, egg yolks and butter are the main sources of vitamin K2, which is important for the production of collagen and for maintaining the health of cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Zinc and copper are youthful minerals that help to maintain skin elasticity and accelerate wound healing.”
According to the doctor, sea snails, red meat and liver are the main ones in zinc content.
“Ultimately, the key to the beauty and health of the skin is protein. In this sense, beef is especially recommended,” adds the expert.
