ADVICE

Avoid Harmful Skin Products

Avoid using facial creams with harmful chemicals and plastics as they can damage your skin and build up toxicity in your liver.
Use gentle cleansing methods and consider shower filters to reduce exposure to toxic substances like fluoride and chlorine.

INSIGHT

Liver as Ultimate Skin Food

Grass-fed liver is the best anti-aging food because it contains vitamin A, copper, zinc, and iron, which support skin elasticity and immune function.
One serving of liver offers more anti-aging benefits than many expensive skin products.

4:52 The best anti-aging diet

Is your beauty routine actually aging you? The creams and lotions you think are helping your skin could have plastics, toxic chemicals, and hidden carcinogens. Even the products containing collagen will not be absorbed topically through the skin.

Over-cleansing and excess scrubbing destroy your skin’s microbiome. Tap water contains fluoride and chlorine, which are toxic and damaging to the skin. A filter for your shower can help.

Statins can also destroy youthful skin. They block cholesterol, which is essential for skin health and integrity.

The FDA does not do third-party testing on the chemicals in your anti-aging products. The EU has banned 1600 cosmetic ingredients, while the US has only banned 30.

The best anti-aging food is high in retinol, an essential building block for connective tissue and vital for the skin’s immune function. This anti-aging food contains copper and zinc, which support skin elasticity and healing. It’s loaded with iron, and a single serving has more anti-wrinkle and anti-aging benefits than many expensive creams.

If you haven’t guessed, grass-fed liver is the #1 anti-aging superfood! Grass-fed liver contains every cofactor and nutrient necessary for healthy, youthful skin.

Some people don’t enjoy eating liver, and if you have preexisting liver damage, you may feel tired after eating it. If this happens, try taking one beef liver capsule before bed.

Soaking liver in lemon juice can improve its taste. Many good recipes also make it more palatable. Liver pâté, grass-fed liver pills, and blending liver with ground beef can also help mask the flavor.

If you consume collagen, you need many cofactors to penetrate the skin. Liver provides all of them!

Ultraprocessed foods will make you look older! Low-fat diets can also have an aging effect on the skin. Low-fat protein and poor quality protein will help you lose weight, but won’t help you look younger.
