Physician Shares: This One Ingredient Found in Food Can Naturally Reverse the Skin’s Aging Process

Aging, Hyalauronic Acid, Doctor Recommended

 

As we get older, the aging of our skin becomes something worth focusing on.

Some of the biggest risk factors for aging skin include living in an urban area, tobacco smoke exposure, having a dry skin type, not staying hydrated, increased sun exposure (past a certain point and especially without proper antioxidants inside the body), and working in toxic conditions.

Improper breathing, a diet lacking in antioxidants, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies are among the additional risk factors for aging skin.

According to one physician based out of New Zealand, there is an ingredient he takes often that can help to reverse the signs of skin damaging and aging, including fine lines and wrinkles.

It’s derived from food sources including citrus fruits, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and leafy green vegetables among others, and is also widely consumed in supplement form.

The ingredient in question is hyaluronic acid, and it could hold the key to reducing the above and other signs of aging, according to Dr. Brad Stanfield, a doctor with over 170,000 subscribers on YouTube.

 

How Hyaluronic Acid Works 

This particular, naturally-occurring acid has helped lead to “significant improvements” in skin health, according to Dr. Stanfield. Hyaluronic acid is important because it is found in all connective tissues in the human body, he added, and it forms the “backbone” of healthy tissues.

“As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid, it gradually decreases,” Dr. Stanfield added, “to the point where a 75-year-old person old has one-quarter the amount of hyaluronic acid in their skin compared to a 19-year-old person.”

By introducing more of this acid to the skin, he continued, “we can strengthen the skin and reduce wrinkles.”

Multiple human clinical studies have shown that hyaluronic acid supplements (like this one) have shown that the acid is absorbed in and utilized by the human body, Dr. Stanfield added.

Studies have compared hyaluronic acid to the placebo effect and have found that it works much better.

Food Sources of Hyaluronic Acid 

Some of the food-based sources of hyaluronic acid include citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits. These foods contain the most hyaluronic acid, especially if they are purchased and eaten from organic sources.

Citrus fruits are incredibly cleansing in nature and are rich in Vitamin C, another nutrient that is excellent for healthy aging, skin, and more.

Additional sources of hyaluronic acid include potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green, leafy vegetables. Potatoes should always be purchased organic. While it is wise to purchase sweet potatoes organic, sweet potatoes are generally low in pesticides compared to other vegetables when purchased non-organic according to recent analyses.

 

Where to Find Hyaluronic Acid in Supplement Form 

Hyaluronic Acid is found in the aforementioned food sources, and is also found in a wide range of beauty enhancing supplements.

I personally recommend taking it in this powder, which is cosmetic-grade, water-soluble, and specifically formulated to lock in moisture and improve skin elasticity.
