What To Eat For Younger-Looking Skin

 

Plants, fats, and fermented foods can reduce wrinkles, boost collagen and improve the texture of our skin.

Skin is the largest organ in the body and must last us our lifetime. In addition to keeping us looking youthful, well-cared for skin also actively benefits our wider health.

But as the barrier between our bodies and the outside world, it takes a battering. Many environmental factors contribute to skin ageing, including air pollution, ozone and a changing climate, says Jean Krutmann, professor of dermatology at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine.

"For decades we thought ultraviolet radiation was the major driver of environmental-induced skin ageing. We know this is not correct," says Krutmann. "Other wavelengths within natural sunlight can contribute to ageing, for example, visible light and infrared radiation." Even an increase in temperature can contribute to the process, he says. 

Then there's just time. As we age we gradually lose collagen, the protein that gives our skin its structure, which can result in wrinkles.

One overlooked factor that can help to keep your skin in better shape is what we eat.

Natural Doesn’t Always Mean Safe, Expert Warns Nigerians

 

The Chief Executive Officer of Bioharb, Mohammed Adamu Daggo, has warned Nigerians against assuming that every herbal product is safe simply because it is made from natural ingredients.

Daggo said the growing interest in herbal and botanical wellness products had made it increasingly important for consumers to understand what they were taking, how such products should be used and when to seek professional medical advice.

He acknowledged Africa’s long history of traditional herbal practices as an important part of its cultural heritage but cautioned against using that history to
