1. Eat more foods rich in chondroitin sulfate, such as pig bone soup, cow bone soup, chicken skin, chicken bone soup, etc., which can enhance the elasticity of the skin.

Human skin is divided into three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The main factor affecting skin beauty is the dermis. The dermis is composed of elastic fibers, and the main substance that makes up elastic fibers is chondroitin sulfate [http://www.cipas.cn/subjectsk/home.aspx]. If the body lacks this type of chondroitin sulfate, the skin will lose its elasticity, resulting in wrinkles. Therefore, eating more foods rich in chondroitin sulfate can delay the occurrence of skin wrinkles and keep the skin elastic and smooth.

2. Eat more foods rich in nucleic acid, such as fish, shrimp, oysters, mushrooms, silver ear fungus, honey, etc., which can eliminate age spots.

Recent studies have found that supplementing with nucleic acid-rich foods can not only delay aging but also prevent the formation of skin wrinkles. Researchers used 30 women as subjects, having them take 800 mg of nucleic acid and an appropriate amount of vitamin C daily. After a month of observation, age spots disappeared from the faces of nine people, wrinkles disappeared from five people's faces, eight people's rough skin became more hydrated, and everyone else's skin showed some improvement.

3. Eat more alkaline-rich foods.

Acidic or alkaline foods are not determined by taste alone but refer to whether the food becomes acidic or alkaline after entering the human body.

Alkaline foods include most vegetables, fruits, bean products, and seafood. Studies show that consuming too many acidic foods can make the blood acidic, increasing the content of lactic acid and uric acid in the blood. These substances reach the skin surface through sweat, making the skin appear lifeless, losing elasticity, especially causing facial skin to become loose and weak. When exposed to cold wind or intense sunlight, the skin is prone to cracking. Eating more alkaline foods can make the blood slightly alkaline, reducing the content of lactic acid and urea, thereby lessening their erosion and damage to the skin.

4. Eat more foods rich in collagen, such as pigskin, pig trotters, softshell turtle, etc.

According to analysis by nutritionists, every 100 grams of pigskin contains 26.4% protein, which is 2.5 times that of pork, while fat is only 2.27 grams, half of that in pork. In particular, the protein in meat skin is mainly collagen. This collagen has the function of increasing the skin's water storage capacity, moisturizing the skin, and maintaining the balance of water inside and outside the skin tissue cells. Collagen is the main raw material for the growth of skin cells, making the human skin look plump and white, reducing or eliminating wrinkles, and making people appear younger.

5. Vitamin A maintains the flexibility and luster of the skin; vitamins C and E are antioxidants that can prevent the oxidation of subcutaneous fat, enhancing the vitality of epidermal and dermal cells, avoiding premature skin aging.

Iron and copper can enrich the blood supply to the skin, providing the skin with sufficient nutrients, avoiding the early appearance of wrinkles. Pay attention to consuming foods rich in vitamins A, C, E, and trace elements like iron and copper, which also help in anti-aging efforts.
