We all want healthy, vibrant, glowing skin.
People spend hundreds of dollars in an effort to keep their skin youthful and wrinkle-free. Do anti-aging creams work? Maybe. Is botox the answer? I’m not sure. Are there some affordable lifestyle changes you can make that could work even better than these things? ABSOLUTELY!

TURNS OUT YOU DO HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER HOW YOU AGE!
We’re talking about COLLAGEN, my friend.
But first, let’s quickly dive into WHY skin ages in the first place. People spend a lot of time on skincare without really knowing HOW skin works and what keeps it looking smooth and wrinkle-free in the first place!
What’s REALLY going on?
Although skin has many layers, it can generally be divided into three main parts:
The outer part (epidermis) contains skin cells, pigment and proteins.
The middle part (dermis) contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and oil glands. The dermis provides nutrients to the epidermis.
The inner layer under the dermis (the subcutaneous layer) contains sweat glands, some hair follicles, blood vessels and fat.
Each layer also contains connective tissue with collagen fibers to give support and elastin fibers to provide flexibility and strength.
Anatomy_The_Skin_-_NCI_Visuals_Online
Skin changes are related to environmental factors, genetic makeup, nutrition, and other factors, like sun exposure.
With aging, the outer skin layer (epidermis) thins, even though the number of cell layers remains unchanged.
The number of pigment-containing cells (melanocytes) decreases. The remaining melanocytes increase in size. Aging skin looks thinner, paler and becomes clearer (translucent).
Changes in the connective tissue reduce the skin’s strength and elasticity. This is known as elastosis. It is more noticeable in sun-exposed areas (solar elastosis).
Elastosis produces the leathery, weather-beaten appearance common to farmers, sailors and others who spend a large amount of time outdoors. (If you’ve seen the movie, There’s Something About Mary, you know what I’m talking about here… Magda is a perfect example of too much sun!)
As you age, you are at increased risk for skin injury. Your skin is thinner, more fragile and you lose the protective fat layer. You also may be less able to sense touch, pressure, vibration, heat and cold.
Aging skin repairs itself more slowly than younger skin. Wound healing may be up to 4 times slower. This contributes to pressure ulcers and infections. Diabetes, blood vessel changes, lowered immunity and other factors also affect healing.
You might be thinking, ‘That’s a lot of physiological lingo… so tell me again what is collagen and why does it matter?’
healthyskinCollagen is a protein produced by our cells that helps to “hold” the skin together as well as make it firm and flexible.
It is one of the most abundant proteins in your body!
There are 25 different kinds of collagen all around your body including your tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and skin. 12 of these different kinds make up your skin!
When we are young, our skin regenerates constantly, keeping our skin youthful and “plump.”
As we age, collagen can be broken down more easily due to sun damage, stress or other factors resulting in wrinkles and sagging.
My point is this: There are a lot of natural, non-invasive ways to preserve your collagen and keep your skin looking youthful…
And I want to show you HOW to do just that using REAL food… 23 foods to be exact!
Really, it’s all about lifestyle changes. Adding better foods to your diet. Protecting yourself from the sun. Staying hydrated and really paying attention to what you put into your body. After all, what you EAT is what your body has to BUILD new cells and new skin with! Feed it crap and, well, eventually it’s going to show!
On the other hand… fill your body with nutrient-rich, whole, natural and vibrant foods, and your body is going to reflect that! I’ve seen people walking around in their 70’s who could pass for 40 or even younger! Your actual age doesn’t have to determine as much as we give it credit for…

The following foods contain the essential amino acid, Threonine that is extremely important for collagen production.
Essential amino acids are the ones that are NOT produced naturally by the body and must be obtained through diet. Amino acids are building blocks for protein (remember, collagen is a protein!).
#1 Grass Fed Beef and Chicken
#2 Lentils
#3 Eggs
#4 Asparagus
Fun fact:
Have you ever noticed that your pee smells after you eat asparagus?
The effect of asparagus on urine odor has been observed for centuries. French novelist Marcel Proust famously wrote in 1913 that asparagus “transforms my chamber-pot into a flask of perfume.”
And one British men’s club is said to have put up a sign reading, “During the asparagus season, members are requested not to relieve themselves in the hat stand.”
Depending on which study you read, between 22% and 50% of the population report having pungent pee after eating asparagus.
But that doesn’t mean only some people’s bodies generate that smell.
Researchers believe that, during digestion, the vegetable’s sulfurous amino acids break down into smelly chemical components in all people. And because those components are “volatile,” meaning airborne, the odor wafts upward as the urine leaves the body and can be detected as soon as 15 minutes after you eat this spring delicacy.
But only about one-quarter of the population appears to have the special gene that allows them to smell those compounds. So the issue isn’t whether or not your pee is smelly; it’s whether you’re able to smell it. If you smell a funny fragrance in your urine after you eat asparagus, you’re not only normal, you have a good nose.
50% of the amino acids that make collagen are glycine, lysine and proline.
Nonessential amino acids (glycine, proline) ARE produced by the body but can also be eaten in food, like:
#5 Cabbage
#6 Fish
tilápia+em+filé
Next let’s talk about ANTIOXIDANTS… a very important element to consider when thinking about your skin!
Antioxidants protect against free radicals that can wreck havoc on the skin and break down collagen.
Free radicals are damaged cells that steal electrons from other cells and leave them damaged as well. This causes a chain reaction in the body. This reaction is a natural one, I might add. Not all free radicals are bad. They actually provide some important services to the body like helping the heart beat faster in stressful situations.
However, if there are other factors causing these free radicals to lose control, they can be very dangerous and are at the center of disease. Luckily the body also has ENZYMES, which are capable of neutralizing excess free radicals.
These particular enzymes, also known as antioxidants, have extra electrons and can donate them to free radicals without becoming imbalanced themselves.
You can EAT foods full of antioxidants to give your body the boost it needs to protect against free radical damage!
Antioxidants specific to protecting skin cells can be found in the following:
#7 Green Tea
#8 Berries
#9 Spinach
#10 Kale
Next on the list of importance are phytoestrogens. These are plant compounds similar to hormones in people that can help replace the loss of oestrogen, a hormone that decreases in production as we age that is vital in helping our skin make collagen.
To get some good phytoestrogens naturally (especially for those hitting the beloved 40’s), try adding more of these foods to your diet:
#11 Hummus
#12 Flax Seeds
#13 Walnuts
We can’t write a post about collagen and skin health without mentioning the ever famous Vitamin C! This vitamin works with the amino acid, proline, to promote collagen production.
healthy+woman
In a study on Vitamin C, women over 40 who had the most vitamin C in their diet were less likely to develop wrinkles and sagging skin.
Not only will vitamin C benefit your skin, but it has also been named one of the MOST important antioxidants for the human body! It helps to keep you from getting common illnesses like colds and the flu.
Get your daily dose of vitamin C by adding these to your diet:
#14 Oranges
#15 Lemons
#16 Limes
#17 Red Peppers
#18 Broccoli
#19 Sprouts
#20 Kiwi
We’ve talked about what I think are the most important things for good skin health and collagen. I am going to throw in three extras that don’t fit into the categories above but are MUST HAVES for everyone pursuing vibrant skin and vibrant health!
#21 Bone Broth
This is basically cooked collagen. Bone broth is incredibly healing and is loaded with minerals, collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine, which are all things we’ve talked about in this post.
bone-broth-3
Dr. Axe claims that these ingredients, which are released into broth as bones are simmered, “have the power to transform your health.” And he’s not the only one making these claims, which I happen to agree with wholeheartedly.
Studies have shown that drinking bone broth can help with overcoming colds and the flu, reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract (asthma), improve digestion, improve allergies and can make your skin look amazing.
Donna Gates, author of Body Ecology says that bone broth can make your skin stay supple and even decrease cellulite. I know some of you reading this are totally excited about this possible side-effect!

#22 Garlic
garlic_310_0Garlic contains lipoic acids and taurine, which have been shown to help rebuild collagen and support damaged collagen fibers.
Garlic also contains an antioxidant called allicin, which has been named one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world. Allicin works hard fighting and neutralizing free radicals in the body, which can otherwise significantly damage the skin.
Consuming raw garlic regularly is said to be an excellent wrinkle-fighting strategy.
#23 Carrots
Orange vegetables contain vitamin A, which has been shown to restore and regenerate damaged skin. Vitamin A is especially helpful for those who have damaged skin due to sun exposure.
Carrots also have a good amount of vitamin C, which we already know helps promote collagen production and skin elasticity.
That’s a TON of GOODNESS straight from Mother Earth herself, all to help us look and feel our best! How cool is that?!
The truth is, your health is in your hands, my friend.
A lot of people don’t take advantage of this simply because they don’t realize it! They put their health and well being into the hands of doctors and physicians and forget that ultimately, the responsibility rests on their own shoulders. This is not to say doctors aren’t important – they absolutely are! But as patients, it’s important that we are ready and willing to take the reins of our own personal health and move forward with confidence and assurance!
Dance-Portfolio-41
I want you to know that your body’s INCREDIBLE. It is BUILT to last and live a long, healthy and vibrant life. You may not always look like you’re 22, but then again, you might!
Take advantage of all the amazing foods we have on the planet that give us the nutrients we need to thrive.
The answers aren’t made in laboratories – they are growing in your own garden!

During my FitLife transformation, I lost 70 pounds! That's why I signed up for the protocol, but the most exciting result is that I found ME in the process. I had been hiding under a pile of pounds, self-doubt, and grief! FitLife changed my life and I knew I had to share it with others.

What is Rosemary Good For? Rosemary health benefits
“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance: pray, love, remember.”
This line from Hamlet shows that Shakespeare, the famous writer, knew the great uses of rosemary.
Long after Shakespeare’s time, different studies have also shown many ways rosemary is good for your health, whether it is used fresh, dried, or as an oil.
Rosemary has strong antioxidants, can kill germs, block cancer, bring down swelling, and fight infections.
It also has some vitamins and minerals, like vitamins A and C, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and copper. The woodsy, citrus-like smell of rosemary essential oil is also found in beauty products and used in aromatherapy.
Besides its health and beauty uses, rosemary is also used as a cooking herb by many people. Fresh or dried rosemary can be added to soups, sandwiches, salads, dips, and even be used for making infused oil. Also, rosemary tea is a well-liked drink.
Here are some ways rosemary can be good for your health.
1. Boosts Memory
Rosemary works as a cognitive stimulant, helpful for boosting memory and mental focus. It is even good at raising brain- wave activities and guarding against neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
2. Fights Stress and Anxiety
The sweet smell of rosemary is helpful for clearing your mind and easing stress. Its calming nature even helps soothe tense muscles.
3. Alleviates Headaches
Rosemary dulls pain and brings down swelling, so it can soothe headaches. It can even help ease the pain and strength of migraines.
4. Stimulates Hair Growth
This wonderful herb also helps hair growth. It boosts blood circulation to the scalp, which lets more nutrients reach the hair follicles.
5. Reduces Inflammation
Rosemary is helpful for easing pain and swelling.
It helps soothe arthritis pain, sciatic nerve pain, gout pain, back pain, and stiff neck. Because it stops spasms, this herb also helps ease menstrual pains.
6. Strengthens the Immune System
Rosemary gives you a powerful shield against different diseases and germs that may harm your immune system.
7. Treats Respiratory Problems
You can also use this herb to treat respiratory infections like cold and flu, sinus infection, and bronchial asthma. This is because rosemary is soothing, kills bacteria, and stops spasms. It also helps lessen bad breath.
8. Improves Digestion
Rosemary is great for your stomach because it controls how much bile is let out, and fights germs from food. It also boosts the appetite, treats indigestion, and eases gas buildups, bloating, and constipation.
9. Prevents High Blood Sugar
Diabetic people can use rosemary oil to control their blood sugar levels. Rosemary extracts can lower glucose and cholesterol levels, which helps control Type 2 diabetes and other metabolic conditions.
When taking this herb to help with diabetes, make sure you keep checking your blood sugar levels. Also, keep taking your regular medicines as your doctor tells you.
Extra tips:
Don’t use rosemary essential oil during pregnancy, or if you have epilepsy, hypertension, or bleeding disorders.
Before using rosemary oil on the skin, test it on a little part of the skin to make sure you’re not allergic to it.
Do not eat a lot of rosemary.

Many people have wondered whether vegan or vegetarian diets are healthy for pregnant women or infants, particularly after horror stories emerged in recent months of kids becoming malnourished after their parents fed them plant-based diets. However, according to new guidelines by a leading group of nutritionists, plant-based diets are actually really healthy for just about everyone to follow, as long as they’re well-balanced.
Nearly 3.3 percent of all American adults are vegetarian or vegan — diets that are way more common in younger adults than elderly people, according to the new guidelines in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. All in all, plant-based diets are “healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases,” the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics wrote in their position statement. That’s largely because people who follow these diets typically eat less salty and sweet snacks, and more fruits and vegetables.
The recent terrifying instances of “vegan” diets harming children occurred when their diets lacked proper nutrients. It’s essential for people who follow plant-based diets, or feed them to their children, to make sure that their meals are planned out and well-balanced, registered dietitian nutritionist Vandana Sheth, of the Academy, told Reuters. Vegan and vegetarian children, in particular, need diets that are rich in iron, zinc, and vitamin B-12, as well as calcium and vitamin D in some instances.
“Any diet that is not well planned and balanced can have negative side effects. Just because foods are plant based doesn’t automatically make them healthy. For instance, pastries, cookies, fried and salty foods may be vegan but don’t really provide much in terms of nutritional value.”
The Academy’s new position on vegan and vegetarian diets will remain in place until December 2021.
