After the age of 35, many of us start to notice the first signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles. However, there are ways to slow down this process and make wrinkles less noticeable. One such way is the Rejuvenation Diet, created by renowned cosmetologist and University of Michigan professor Nicholas Perricone. He claims that following this diet for three to five days can improve the skin and give it a healthy glowing appearance.
The essence of this diet is to achieve a certain balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, which helps to speed up metabolism and activate the production of collagen, an important protein for skin elasticity and youthfulness.
The main focus of the diet is on omega-3 fatty acids, which help normalize the skin's water balance and reduce inflammation. These fatty acids can be found in fish, nuts, and other foods.
What does the nutrition of this diet look like? For breakfast, it is recommended to drink a glass of water and consume an omelet made of a whole egg and three egg whites, half a cup of cooked oatmeal, and a small amount of berries or a slice of melon. Breakfast can be drunk with green tea or water.
For lunch, it is recommended to choose salmon cooked on the grill or in foil, with plenty of fresh green salad dressed with olive oil. For dinner, fish combined with green vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli and spinach.
During the day it is allowed to drink water and snack on apples, natural yogurt and raw nuts.
Following this diet promotes better skin and can help make wrinkles less noticeable. However, keep in mind that long-term dietary changes can produce the best results, and it is important to consult a doctor or nutritionist before making drastic dietary changes.
