As age is increasing more changes are seen on the skin
earliest would be on the face and hands.
It is quite common to find women and men complain about looks pigmentation wrinkles in their mid forties and fifties.
Many women are now in their sixties and seventies yet active in their life. Age defying services like thermage filler Botox threads are now becoming common to look young.
Now the competition is not just. between the teen but between the young adult and wise adult
Beyond sixties what would be the better nutrotional foods to keep the older active adults look young and healty
Skin is the first line of defense for protecting our bodies against external perturbations, including ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, mechanical/chemical stress, and bacterial infection. Nutrition is one of many factors required for the maintenance of overall skin health. An impaired nutritional status alters the structural integrity and biological function of skin, resulting in an abnormal skin barrier. In particular, the importance of micronutrients and vitamins for skin health has been highlighted in cell culture, animal, and clinical studies. These micronutrients are employed not only as active compounds in therapeutic agents for treating certain skin diseases, but also as ingredients in cosmetic products. Notable examples of nutrients are calcium and vitamin C, which are responsible for the differentiation of keratinocytes, a major cell type in epidermis.
Micronutrients are the important constitution of enzymes which caralize the reaction in living body system.So,micronutrients are the precorsurs of vitamins.So,micronutrients with vitamins are important for skin care for living beings. In this respect calcium,boron for binding of skin cells,iron for blood hemoglobin, vitamins A as carotine ,B complex etc
are important for skin care for living beings.
Thank you Ashok for valuable tips
just as Soil is enriched with micronutrients I think the human body too needs timely replacements and most important is oxygen and anti oxidants
As an older (74) active adult I feel that all around conscientious dietary consumption of antioxidants from primarily fresh food with some supplementation of CoQ10 100 mg. 2X a day along with a low dose of vitamin D and calcium has been quite effective combined with moderate exercise. DEXA bone scan demonstrates very little bone loss and very little arthritis. Plants grown in high quality mineral soil are key.
Food chain in the ecology of nature from lower trophic small microorganisms in soil,clay humus as lignin carbon and protein as enzymes of microorganisms which supply essential plant nutrients in ionic form through the root hair of plant for nutrition to higher trophic animal and human. So, sustainable soil health management for soil fertility and productivity for healthy food for nutrition may develop antioxidant properties in living body may be helpful for ideal health and body development for human.
In elderly there is degenerating function of cells in which lowering metab and body system function ex: immune, gastrointest, etc. So that makes the absorption in digestive system are impaired, so the elderly needs supplementation at least to improve micronutrients bioavailability (vitamin and minerals) in their body. As long as micronutrient needs are adequated, the elderly could attenuating their cells degenerating.
Micronutrients are constituents of enzymes caralize the reaction,Zinc , iodine deficiency are acute in living beings as human.However,jn skin care calcium and boron in cell binding process may be helpful for prevent crack formation in skin.
Micronutrients are the precocious of vitamin which may be helpful for skin care.
