Anti Aging – Vitamins for Anti Aging Skin Care
Author: Peter sams  | Posted: 21-02-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 30 | Rating: (55)  (?) 
These days, research about anti-aging products is more widespread than ever. More people want to reduce the signs of aging, and as a result, pharmaceutical companies are constantly creating products designed to slow down the aging process in order to meet consumer demand. There are many things a person can do to follow an anti-aging routine, and some of them are simpler than others. Topical products, combined with focusing on preventing aging from within, are an effective method to combat the aging process.
Anti-aging can be a difficult topic to address. A war is currently being fought over the meaning of "anti-aging" (as research, medicine, brand, or simply adjective) and thus even mentioning the term is likely to prejudice many readers. We will try to put this all into context while being as neutral as possible.
Preventing Aging of the Skin and Anti-aging Skin Care:
There has now been a range of anti-aging skin care products, techniques, therapies etc to combat skin damage and aging. The most common method of fighting aging skin is the use of antioxidants to destroy the “free radicals” that cause cellular degeneration. A diet rich in fresh fruit, vegetable and legumes, and food components such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene, and other enzymes are considered to be good source of antioxidants. Thousands of antioxidant supplements and pills are also now being produced by pharmaceutical companies around the world.
Experts also recommend a restricted diet of between 30 and 60 per cent less calories than normal, which increases life span, slows metabolism to reduced body fat causing less glycosylation and less oxidation.
Scientists are also experimenting with a range of Longevity Assurance Genes that protect against ageing. This experiment, if successful, may be able to completely reverse the aging of the human skin, brain and blood vessels.
Vitamins for anti Aging
Vitamin E: Experts consider vitamin E to be the most important antioxidant because it protects cell membranes and prevents damages to enzymes associated with them. Natural sources of vitamin E include vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, grains, oats, nuts, and dairy products.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is the most common antioxidant found in the skin. It's also found in vegetables and citrus fruits. Like vitamin E, vitamin C is considered important in repairing free radicals and preventing them from becoming cancerous or accelerating the aging process.
Vitamin A, selenium (a mineral), and a group know as carotenoids - beta-carotene being the most popular and well know carotenoid. Carotenoids are the pigment compounds that give many fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors. Antioxidants are believed to be effective in helping to prevent cancer, heart disease, stroke and a variety of other ailments associated with natural aging. Specifically antioxidants prevent ailments by destroying free harmful radicals inside the human body.
Since vitamin C is most prevalent in the skin, the skin is the organ that suffers most from environmental stressors. Smoking, sun exposure, and pollution rob the nutrient from our bodies, says Burke.
Vitamin B2, coenzyme Q10, and cysteine (an amino acid). Herbs, such as grape seed, bilberry, turmeric (curcumin), ginkgo, milk thistle and green tea also contain powerful antioxidant compounds. Vitamin B2 is often taken as part of a B-complex supplement and included in many antioxidant vitamin formulas.
