Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Let's talk about the effects of fasting for your skin and especially wrinkles.

So I am basing this video off of several studies. I put them down below so you can check them out.

But there's some interesting effects that fasting has on your skin. Number one, it delays something

called vascular cell senescence. Okay. Now, what does that mean? It's aging of your vascular system.

So in young skin, you have all this collagen, elastin,

which is the elastic protein that allows things to be very, very resilient and flexible.

You have good vascular system. You have good hydration. And aging skin, you're losing the

hydration, you're losing the nutrients, losing the

elastin, the collagen, and the vascular system. Other than that, you're totally fine. So number one,

you can delay the aging of the vascular system. Number two, it prevents oxidative stress.

Now, when you're fasting, all sorts of interesting things happen at the genetic level

because you're mimicking starvation. So the body goes in this repair mode and your body starts building up

its antioxidant defense mechanism. So you get more antioxidants. And that will prevent oxidation or oxidative stress, which is occurring from the

environment, from food to sunlight, radiation, and other stresses. With fasting, you're

stimulating atophogee, and that is a condition where your body is recycling damage proteins

in the skin, in the cell, in the brain, all over, but especially

in the skin. So you're actually able to recycle old damaged proteins, and your body is actually

making new proteins. So it has an anti-aging effect on your skin. Also, if you do periodic prolonged fasting,

you can stimulate the stem cells in the skin, and that will help the body make new skin as well.
