saturated fat. Reduce your consumption of red meat. Incorporate daily foods rich in omega 3 and 9 acting as natural anti-inflammatory drugs (bananas, young shoots, crustaceans, oilseeds), green tea and spices (turmeric, ginger).

-Finally, various studies have shown the role of vitamins K and E in maintaining the elasticity of the skin. You'll find it in oilseeds (almonds, walnuts, olives) and green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, kale).
3. Cut out tobacco and alcohol:
In addition to accelerating the aging of the skin, excessive consumption of cigarettes and alcohol makes the complexion more dull and cloudy. The skin will tend to produce more sebum, making it more oily. The abuse of tobacco and alcohol disrupts blood circulation, damages blood vessels, and damages the liver which contributes to the development of wrinkles. Finally, tobacco releases an enzyme that destroys collagen and elastin, two essential elements for maintaining skin firmness.

According to the recommendations of the Ministry of Sports, you only need to practice at least 30 minutes of brisk walking per day, 5 times / week to stay in good health.

Sleep, as we know, has a restorative effect on the body and the skin. Sleep debt is experienced as stress by the body which, in response, secretes the stress hormone cortisol. Its prolonged production over time and in too large a quantity is involved in the acceleration of cellular aging. Conversely, getting enough sleep allows the body to make more hGH, the natural growth hormone that strengthens the skin's elasticity.
