ANTI-AGING VITAMINS AND MINERALS
Lasting beauty is more than what you do to the outside of your skin. All the cosmetics, lotions and potions of the world cannot cleanse, cover or conceal unhealthy skin. They cannot make skin look youthful and radiant. So what can you do easily and at home?

Aging is the accumulation of various adverse changes in our cells and tissues. Free radicals are believed to contribute to the aging process. How we age individually is due to our genes and the damage we cause ourselves through bad habits, including how we eat. In this article, we are going to look at some key, at home benefactors to anti-aging from the inside-out.
Most people are aware that antioxidants can reduce free radical damage and can slow the aging process down. Think of good, healthy food that will serve you. If you are like most people, one of the first things that will come to mind is eating foods high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. (Many vitamins and minerals double as antioxidants.)
"Adam and Eve ate the first vitamins, including the package." ~E.R. Squibb
In this article, we are going to look at some key vitamins and minerals along with Omega-3 fatty acids and Coenzyme Q10 to see how they impact our skin.
Vitamins
Vitamin A -
Maintains and repairs skin cells. Reduces wrinkles. Helps our skin retain water and form new skin cells. Is good for healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, and mucus membranes. Helps with acne and eczema.
Vitamin B complex - Nourishes and protects the skin.
Biotin - often called Vitamin H it is actually a member of the B family. Combats dryness and skin rashes. Supports the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates. B2 (Riboflavin) Helps repair skin. Protects against free radicals. B3 (Niacin) Helps with moisture retention. Improves blood flow and circulation of the skin.
Vitamin C - Provides overall antioxidant protection. It also:
Repair sun damage. Fades age spots. Enhances synthesis of collagen which strengthens structural support and resilience of the skin.
Vitamin E -
Helps retain moisture in the skin. Improves elasticity of skin. Helps formation of red blood cells
Vitamin K -
Is an anti-inflammatory. Helps with dark circles under the eye, rosacea, and sun damage. Promotes strong bones.
Polyphenols - These are a type of antioxidant that slows wrinkles and fights free radicals. They are also an anti-inflammatory.
Minerals
Copper is the 3rd most abundant trace mineral in the body.
Helps restore your skin's ability to heal. Protects against free radicals. Combines with iron to make red blood cells. Helps with collagen and promotes consistent pigmentation.
Selenium is a trace mineral.
Prevents cellular damage. Is an antioxidant and protects against free radicals. Induces DNA repair. Fights many cancers.
Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in the Earth.
Has a subtle astringent property. Reduces acne. Is required for synthesis of collagen.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids-
Helps keep our skin supple and young looking. Strengthens the skin barrier keeping out harmful irritants. Reduces acne. Decreases skin inflammation. Reduces cellulite.
Coenzyme Q10- CoQ10, as it is often called, is great for all around health. CoQ10 is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. As we get older, we often produce less CoQ10 and may need to supplement. Certain drugs, such as statins also reduce our CoQ10.
Water - Although water is not a vitamin or mineral, we must include it as something we need to do daily for our skin. Drinking pure water keeps the skin hydrated.

The impact of individual supplements is hard to study as the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in our food work synergistically for our body's benefit. Also, do not be of the mindset that if a little helps, more would be better. Be aware that over-supplementation should be avoided as it can cause problems.
To do the best for your health and beauty, eat a well-balance diet of foods rich in antioxidants (or take a good, full spectrum supplement), avoid foods that are bad for your body and skin and eliminate the eight bad habits that I discussed in my last article - Eight Bad Habits
