In order to produce new skin cells and fibers, your body needs nutrients. The necessary nutrients include the amino acids found in protein.
The skin’s cells and fibers are actually made of simple structural proteins containing only a few amino acids. The better anti aging moisturizers contain one of those structural proteins. It’s called keratin.
The recommended dietary intake of protein varies depending on whether or not you are trying to build muscle too. Most experts recommend ½ to 1 gram per pound of body weight per day. The higher end of the scale is for those who want to build muscle too.
Building muscle accomplishes several things. We tend to lose muscle mass as we age unless we work to keep it. That means we will get weaker.
We also tend to lose some bone as we age. In some cases, the loss is enough to cause osteoporosis, a degradation of the bones that increases our risk of fractures. Building muscle takes stress off of the bones.
