which vitamins are best for anti aging?

Question by Raihana Hossain: which vitamins are best for anti aging?

Answer by here_nor_there
You can't do this with just supplements. In fact, I'd say supplements are the very last thing you should be looking at. You're at an age like (I'm the same age as you) where you realize you need to hang on to what you've got. And that's going to take some work and lifestyle changes. I know it sucks, but it's just a job like flossing your teeth. You have to be a grown up about it and do it because no one is going to do it for you.

To slow down aging process, you should focus on controlling insulin. Every time you eat something you know is bad, it's aging you. If you eat a healthy diet, that should help signficantly. I'm not a purist so I do eat a treat everyday, but I keep it very small portions and I sit down and take the time to be in the moment to enjoy my small treat. That makes a huge difference so I don't feel deprived. I give into what I want.
Again, if you eat a healthy diet, you shouldn't need too many supplements. Many vegetables help control inflammation. Control inflammation and you help slow down aging and disease. Don't forget to move. Long-lived people still move. One man in Spain had to quit riding his bike at a 110 years old. So keep moving. Keep your muscles strong.

Cysteine is good for hair. You can find that in broccoli and other vegetables like that (cauliflower, etc). Eat these particular ones cooked, though. Protein is also very good to promote collagen. Make sure you get meat in your diet. More veggies than meat though, but get meat in there daily. Vitamin C and magnesium are two supplements I'd recommend because they both have critical steps in synthesizing collagen. Magnesium, key for hyaluronic acid.

Here are two things that also help collagen in different ways. Green tea and blueberries. I'll leave the long explanation up to this very reputable link:
http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=fightdz&dbid=6

Keep your muscles strong. It's essential for people with a connective tissue disorder like me to exercise and build strength in muscle to keep the connective tissue strong. You don't have to be manic about it to have an amazing effect. I exercise 3-4 times a week, mostly light weight training and nothing too intense. I can't do impact exercises, so I do what I can and it has helped a lot.

The most important thing you can do of all is to be happy. Worry and stress age you badly. Try to live in the moment as best you can and don't borrow worry from the future. Hard thing to do, but it is true. When you catch yourself worrying, just try to find a way to release it. It's aging you. Go find something to make you feel joyful.

Supplements can't do all that for you. Good luck!

what are the best vitamins to promote healthy skin?

Question by Lisa: what are the best vitamins to promote healthy skin?
can someone list all the types of vitamins that promote healthy skin?


Best answer:

Answer by oldtimekid2
There are a couple options... addressing it on the outside and addressing it from the inside. Both are very good and beneficial ways of doing it and you can even do them both at the same time.

One thing you can do is to take a 400 IU softgel of Vitamin E, then CAREFULLY poke a hole in it. Squeeze out the oil and spread it out evenly onto the affected area. If you have more than one area that's been affected, spread out the amount that's used evenly to each area, as too much vitamin E can build up to toxic levels in your body.
You can also try soaking your skin in Aloe Vera because that helps to soothe any tissue it touches.

Also, if you would like more benefits, there are some supplements you could take internally to help the health of your skin. Some of the most popular ones are Biotin, Silica (commonly from Horsetail), Squalene, Borage Oil (specifically for the GLA, Gamma Linoleic Acid), Hyaluronic Acid, MSM, L-Cysteine, Collagen, and most antioxidants (like Vitamins A and C among others).
Good luck and I hope I helped!

Normally if you take too many vitamins the only thing you are wasting is money. Your body will use as many vitamins as it needs and then disposes of the rest.

Drop the anti-depressant / sleep aid drugs! Lemme say it again ~
Drop the anti-depressant / sleep aid drugs!
& then do plenty of exercise.
If, after plenty of exercise, there's still a need to quell anxiousness, try a beer, wine or a shot of scotch if yer old enuff.
Drop the anti-depressant / sleep aid drugs!
Best wishes!

It has to do with how the specific supplement is metabolized & digested.
Some need the stomach acid of an empty stomach & some need food to mix with to be digested.

Is it safe to take Collagen vitamins with medication?

Question by Mikes: Is it safe to take Collagen vitamins with medication?
I take an anti depressant and a benzos for anxiety. I just purchased Collagen pills to clear up my skin but am worried if there are any side effects or if this is safe?


Best answer:

Answer by oldtimekid2
Your best (and safest) bet would be to ask a pharmacist if there are any interactions listed between the drugs and supplements you're taking. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not.... anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn't always accurate, as we all know) ;-)
I don't imagine there would be a problem as Collagen exists in many sources of meat so there would probably be a warning on the benzos about eating meat with them if there was a problem... but I don't have access to that database to verify so I would check with the doctor or pharmacist. Good luck and I hope I helped!
