Our skin is composed of saturated fats, and to achieve youthful, younger-looking skin, you need to consume more saturated fats and cholesterol.
The Purpose of Saturated Fats and Cholesterol in Anti-Aging
50% of cell membranes are made up of cholesterol.
- It helps produce more bile to aid in the digestion of the fats you consume and extract fat-soluble vitamins from those fats.
- Cholesterol is essential for hormone production.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is the most important fat-soluble vitamin for skin anti-aging and also stimulates collagen production. The different layers of the skin (epidermis and dermis) are regulated by vitamin A.
Symptoms of Vitamin A Deficiency:
- Dry skin
- Scaly skin
- Keratinization
- Rough skin
- Acne
Best Sources of Vitamin A:
- Leafy green vegetables
- Beta-Carotene
- Egg yolks (pastured, organic)
- Cod liver oil
- Avocados
- Salmon/Fish
- Goat cheese
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is also very important for the skin. It helps protect the skin from aging, sunburn, oxidation, prevents wrinkles and scars, and supports pituitary hormones.
Best Sources of Vitamin E:
- Palm oil
- Leafy green vegetables
- Wheat germ oil
- Nuts/Seeds
- Olive oil
Things to AVOID to Help Prevent Aging
- AGEs or Advanced Glycation End Products
- Smoking
