Big FAT Grin...

I just read a piece of brand-new research that’s going to make you break out in a big, fat grin.

Researchers studied the elasticity and hydration of women’s faces and discovered that those who ate more saturated fat had fewer wrinkles.1

If you lived in a primitive culture like the ones I’ve seen in Peru, Brazil, and Africa, saturated fat would be a major part of your diet.

They eat whatever they can catch. And they prefer the fat – they eat it first. Most dishes are also rich with tropical oils.

They eat saturated fat at every meal and have beautiful skin and shiny hair. Middle-aged women there look like they’re in their 20s.

Contrast that to what you see on the street of any city in the U.S. today. Women here throw away the best part of the steak.

They buy fat-free versions of almost everything. They avoid fat like the plague, and it shows. There is no comparison in the quality of skin, hair, or number of wrinkles on their faces.

Now, we have scientific evidence that supports my observation. A native diet gives you more healthy skin and hair.

Saturated fat is natural. It’s what makes everything taste good. It’s the fake stuff, the man-made trans fat, that you have to look out for.

Trans fat is what you find in junk food and fast food.

I recommend you look for natural sources of saturated fat and add it to your diet.

Here’s a list of where you can find it:

Eggs: Look for eggs from free-range chickens.

Meat and Poultry: Make sure you choose grass-fed instead of grain-fed meat. Buy free-range poultry. Stay away from processed meats. Grain-fed and processed meats contain hormones, antibiotics, and chemical additives.

Butter and Whole Milk Dairy: Choose organic butter and whole milk dairy products from grass-fed cows. By butter, I don’t mean margarine. Margarine is filled with chemicals. You need to avoid it. ***Raw milk is even better

Tropical Oils, Like Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, and Cocoa Butter: Pick up the organic version. You can use these in your cooking and also on your skin. Try coconut oil when you sauté or as a dressing on salads.

Sags, Bags and Spots

Looking in the mirror lately and feeling a little spotty & "crinkly" ?

Looking at your hands and seeing spots?...OH MY!!!

Blame it all on Photo-Aging...now wasn't that easy?

Photo-aging is the process by which, over the course of time, ultraviolet light damages your skin.

OK... I've got major skin damage...used to be freckles now they're age spots... appearing on my face, neck one huge spot at that, hands and legs...say it isn't so !!!

So I am taking action and taking gelatin 2 times a day...yes the unflavored gelatin in the jello section at your local grocery store! Simple and Cheap!

Eating gelatin has long been known as a folk remedy for weak fingernails and painful joints.
At any rate, from my perspective, it looks like eating gelatin might just be one of the most important anti-aging measures I can take.

Join me, and start taking a tablespoon in the morning, and another one before bedtime.
