Diet Patterns Affect Facial Wrinkling
- Population studies link healthier diets with fewer facial wrinkles and worse diets with more wrinkles.
- Antioxidants, anti-inflammatory effects, sun protection, and collagen support may explain these associations.
Almond Trial Cuts Wrinkle Severity
- Researchers ran a randomized controlled trial where one group ate two ounces of almonds daily and the control ate nut-free snacks.
- After 16 weeks the almond group showed significantly decreased wrinkle severity on computer-based facial photographic analysis.
Why Skin Deteriorates With Age
- Skin ages from UV-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and reduced blood flow causing thinning and loss of elasticity.
- Diets high in vegetables, beans, soy, and olive oil correlated with less skin wrinkling while meat and dairy correlated with more.
