“Soy vs Wrinkles”

Once (we) people are starting to get older, we become more and more concerned on how to prevent and get rid of wrinkles. We struggle to solicit opinions and suggestions from our family and friends without being aware that the answer might just be inside our refrigerator. If you have soy or soy products in it, then you already got the help you need. How could these soy products be of help with wrinkles?

Soy is actually well-known for its benefits on maintaining a healthy body because of its high levels of protein, vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Just in recent years, its importance in skin care and anti-aging was widely studied. Dr. Mark Messina presented various scientific studies with regards to the skin benefits of soy at Soyconnection.com.

Presence of isoflavones in soy and soy products was found to be its main feature. Isoflavones are plant compounds that both act as a collagen stimulant and as an enzyme inhibitor at the same time. With these functions of isoflavones, soy is able to help with wrinkles early prevention by increasing skin’s elasticity and thickness. Also, it can prevent the protein in the skin to be worn down by the enzymes, thus, keeping the skin free from sagging.

Moreover, the essential fatty acids and lecithin present in soy helps the skin to be soft, smooth, moisturized and free from fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, the Vitamin E and plant estrogens in the soy are responsible for the healing and rejuvenation of the skin.

Soy and soy products are actually one of the nature-given provisions. Let’s not forget the importance of nutrition not only on the aspect of providing help with wrinkles but also on our health in general.
