The Impact of Nutrient Depletion on Skin Aging

Nutrient depletion in our modern diets is a significant contributor to accelerated skin aging. Studies have shown a reduction in key nutrients such as vitamin C, iron, and protein in fruits and vegetables over the years. This depletion is attributed to industrial farming practices and has been proven to affect the nutritional value of our food. Even popular diets fall short in supplying recommended daily nutrient allowances. To slow down and reverse the aging process, it is crucial to focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods and consider the use of supplements.
