| Some of the vitamins I take are astaxathin, lycopene(a natural internal sunscreen)pycnogenol,collagen pills. I used to eat organic spinach everyday but now I am sick of it and I am eating asparagus for awhile now.I also make a protein shake from MRM powder since it doesnt have artificial sweeteners in it.I add non fat greek yogourt, half a banana and half an orange with a little stevia;tastes like an orange Julius and has lots of protein in it.I also stay out of the sun. |

According to Dr Weil:

This Fruit Protects Against Wrinkles
More news is coming about the remarkable health–protective effects of berries. The latest: using a topical application of the antioxidant ellagic acid – an antioxidant found in numerous fruits, vegetables and nuts, especially raspberries, strawberries and cranberries – researchers at Hallym University in the Republic of Korea prevented collagen destruction and moderated the inflammatory response. This effect was seen in both human skin cells and the skin of hairless mice after continuing exposure to UV–B, the sun's skin–damaging ultraviolet rays.
There is now a great deal of well–designed research showing that many compounds in berries, whether applied to the skin or eaten in the form of whole fruit, are among the most protective nutrients your body can utilize. I hope that topical ellagic–acid–based preparations become widely available for a variety of skin conditions. In the meantime, eating berries regularly is one of the best, not to mention tastiest, moves you can make for overall health.

As there was mention of gelatin on another thread, you might like this article, Lucyluc: http://uptownmagazine.com/2012/01/want-fewer-wrinkles-eat-gelatin/

Gelatin is derived from the bones and connective tissue not the neural tissue which would harbor BSE (Mad Cow Disease).
"The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) of the European Union (EU) in 2003 stated that the risk associated with bovine bone gelatin is very low or zero.[32][33] In 2006 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) stated that the SSC opinion was confirmed, that the BSE risk of bone-derived gelatin was very small, and removed support for the 2003 request of excluding the skull and vertebrae of bovine origin older than 12 months from the material used in gelatin manufacturing.[34]"

The British Journal of Dermatology published studies in 2008 showing the health benefits to the skin of consuming tomato paste mixed with olive oil. It came to my attention about a year ago, so I've been following their advice and I consume 55 grams of tomato paste mixed with ten grams of olive oil on a daily basis. It also has anti-cancer properties. For 68, my skin is in very good condition, but I also do facial exercises and massage. Below is one article among many.

Do you just mix the paste and oil together and eat it or do you add them to other foods or in a smoothie? |

| I think either way. I know you can use it on crackers or gluten=free products if that's you thing. Tomato paste is a concentrated hit of lycopene and other goodies. I've taken a can of paste and added it to gluten free pasta - with some stir fried spinach and yum. |

Personally, I just mix the tomato paste and oil together and eat it with a spoon, but you can add it to whatever food you like. |
