Why do we need Folital Reviews?
It is important to ensure the availability
of the nutrients that best protect the health of the skin.
As one of the only organs directly exposed
to the outside elements, the skin must be protected from the inside out.
The
best nutrients for the skin
Therefore, both the daily diet and the
skin regimen (yes, you too, men) must include the protection of these 10
nutrients for the skin.
1.
Lycopene
Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that
has natural properties that protects against UV rays. A diet rich in lycopene
gives the skin some protection from the harmful rays of the sun. Lycopene is
found in watermelon, tomatoes, pink grapefruit, and papaya.
2.
Asthaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a pink compound found in
foods such as shrimp and krill. It is one of the only carotene compounds that
does not convert to retinol in the body, therefore 100% of its antioxidant
strengths are reserved for fighting free radicals.
With long-term use, studies have shown
that astaxanthin is amazing for skin health and elasticity, and has even been
shown to visibly improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the signs of
aging such as such as dry skin, wrinkles, and age spots.
3.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is great for the skin, both
internally and topically. Its antioxidant properties protect the skin against
harmful free radicals, while promoting the natural production of collagen.
According to the American Academy of
Dermatology, 500 to 1,000 milligrams in diet or vitamin C supplements per day
is sufficient. While the vitamin C diet can be found in citrus fruits, Brussels
sprouts, red peppers, and other foods, topical vitamin C is growing in
popularity.
4.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A, or its precursor,
beta-carotene, is found in carrots or spinach and ensures the good maintenance
and repair of skin cells and tissue. If you are deficient in vitamin A, you may
notice dry or flaky skin, because your skin is not healing fast enough. Vitamin
A can be found in red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, or also in dark
green vegetables.
5.
Omega 3 fatty acids
Omega-3s are associated with decreased
inflammation and are known to increase the shine of the complexion itself by
blocking hydration. Good sources of omega-3s are fatty fish such as salmon,
walnuts, and flax seeds.
6.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is effective in counteracting
the harmful effects of UV exposure and provides antioxidant protection.
Experts indicate that natural vitamin E at
around 400mg per day has been observed to reduce sun damage and wrinkles and
improve skin texture. Topical vitamin E is used to balance the skin and reduce
the appearance of "sun spots."
7.
Biotin
Biotin is a B vitamin that is largely
responsible for providing the foundation for radiant skin and hair.
Experts often recommend anywhere from
1,000-5,000 mcg per day, which usually requires a supplement. Food sources of
biotin include peanuts, chard, and tuna.
8.
Vitamin K
Topical vitamin K cream has been
identified as one of the best (and only) treatments available for the effective
reduction of dark circles.
9.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid has the remarkable
capacity for a total of 1,000 times its weight in water, therefore, it is an
ideal food to maintain the hydration of your skin.
Additionally, it acts as a cell binding
agent, keeping skin cells from separating (ie wrinkles).
10.
Alpha lipoic acid
This powerful antioxidant is one of the
only nutrients that is both soluble in water and soluble in fat. This means
that it can protect skin cells from free radical damage both on the inside and
on the surface.
Most hair loss is
not associated with systemic or internal disease, nor is poor diet a
frequent factor. Hair may simply thin as a result of predetermined genetic
factors and the overall aging process. Many men and women may notice
mild physiologic thinning of hair starting in their 30s and 40s. Life
vicissitudes, including illness, emotional trauma, protein deprivation
(during strict dieting), and hormonal changes like those in pregnancy, puberty,
and menopause may cause hair loss.
