2 Foods That Help Improve Skin Elasticity In Aging Skin

By Peter Albertonach

Is it possible that foods that you eat can help aging skin and help improve your skin elasticity as you age?

However it's not quite as easy to improve your skin health as you age simply be eating a few simple foods.

But there's no doubt at all that your general diet is extremely important to your overall skin health. Eating a good diet is extremely important to maintaining skin health into older age.

A healthy diet is good for general health and skin health. So the advice you see everywhere about diet is as important for your skin as for your body. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, reduce fat, especially saturated fat, reduce salt and sugar intake and make sure you do this permanently.

But there are many people who think that there are miracle foods that help improve skin elasticity in aging skin and which help slow the skin aging process. And to some extent thats true. But actually producing the result you want, namely to improve your skin health and the looks of your skin simply by eating isnt as easy as you might expect.

Lets look at 2 examples of foods that help improve skin elasticity in aging skin.

1. Omega 3 is one of the fats that you don't want to reduce in your diet. I'm sure you've heard of omega 3, it's a fatty acid found in some foods, but particularly oily fish, and it's very good for your heart health and has some other general health benefits. But you may not know that it's also very good for your skin.

For a whole range of reasons a diet high in omega 3 fats is very important and you ought to be aware of this. But it's not quite as easy ensuring that you eat a lot of omega 3. Some societies eat a lot of the right types of fish, for example, but we tend not to. And fish can be very expensive and getting more so.

2. Phytessence Wakame. Now unlike omega 3 there is a good chance that you've never heard of phytessence wakame. Its a seaweed and is found around the coast of Japan, and is cultivated by the Japanese. It is a large part of the Japanese diet, both fresh and dried, and has been for centuries.

And Japanese women have wonderful skin right into old age, and science has traced this to the ingredients in the phytessence wakame that they eat.

Theres a range of reasons why phytessence wakame is good for skin elasticity, but it gets a little scientific. But I've written more about that on my website.

And there's other foods that help improve skin elasticity in aging skin as well, but I'm leading up to something here.

It's very difficult to select a food or even a range of foods that really make a large difference to your skin purely be eating them. Without doubt a generally healthy diet is very good for your skin but to narrow that down to finding specific foods that will improve skin elasticity, for example, is very hard.

And often the active ingredients in these foods can be as good for your skin or even better when applied directly to your skin rather than eaten as well.

So if you want to improve your skin elasticity and want to do so naturally how do you do so? And I should say that improving skin elasticity is one of the best ways to fight skin wrinkles.

The best way to improve skin health and skin elasticity using natural ingredients like those I've talked about is to use natural skincare products that have these ingredients in them already.

Most of the big brand skin care products don't use ingredients like these, they use chemical ingredients manufactured in a lab, because they're cheaper. But you can get natural skin care products that use all these types of natural ingredients and much more. That way you don't need to be spending your days eating fish or searching out seaweed and trying to work out a way to eat it that tastes ok. Eat a good diet by all means, but use good natural skin care products to do the heavy lifting work when it comes to improving skin health and skin elasticity.

If you're really concerned about improving your skin elasticity into your older age, and you should be, you need to eat well and use the best natural skin care products containing all these natural ingredients that science has found that are so useful to your skin health.
