I'm in my late 30s and friends and random compliment me on my smooth and radiant skin ALL OF THE TIME! Before I even watch this video I can tell you that healthy skin is more about what you PUT INTO your diet than what you take out. Sure, avoiding ultra processed sugary/salty/fried food as much as you can is a MUST, but eating LOTS of raw vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds is what keeps my skin and hair glowing... also the reason why I cannot get away from highlighting my hair every month (my hair grows crazy fast!). Also, SPF 50 every day, 2 litres of water, daily workout and nightly retinol. You're welcome!
completely agree with you. lots of raw plant based foods and lots of fluids does help keep good skin. I am 47 but look like i am in my 30's. ive quit sugar and dairy for quiet some time and have replaced my calcium needs with Sesame seeds and coconuts. also I have a seed mix which is a mix of pumpkin, sesame, flax, sunflower melon seeds and I add a few spoons of fennel seeds and dried dates to this mix to make it even more nutritious. I eat about 2-3 spoons of this mix everyday. I eat a lot of different kinds of millets too in various forms. this helps eliminate carbs from rice and wheat and other glutenous grains. another very nutritious grain to add in your diet is Horsegram. it has the highest protein content of any other grain. soak and let it sprout. then steam it for about 30 mins. you may just add some seasoning to this and eat or add it to soups or salads.
Sane for me at your age,however not getting the complete proteins and amino acids will catch up to you..especially when you hit menopause..the bottom drops out when your hormone levels drop. It happened to me. However now that I've incorporated clean animal protein back into my diet with micronutrient blood panels to see specifically what nutrients I lacked so I could supplement appropriately , HRT ..and medical grade skincare, reitnols my skin much improved.was able to reverse some of that aging as well as slow it down and my skin keeps improving
@@patrim69 awesome! Yeah I eat tons of lean protein, as I do kickboxing every day and dance ballet 4 days a week, so I have vegetable protein shakes, boiled chicken, tuna, salmon and eggs, every day :)
I agree sugar is the culprit. 20 years ago, I gave it up along with liquor (which I never liked much anyway) and began to look and feel younger. I like the idea of a well balanced diet that includes all Dr Karam mentioned here. It’s common sense.
I gave up on meat around 20 years ago. Like you, I have never regretted my decision. For alcohol, I knew from a very young age it would put me in troubles. Sugar is my only demon left. The more balanced my diet, the less I crave. But I still will have my moments, I'm afraid. 😭😭😭
@@dramirkaramall plants are COMPLETE protein, they just have LESS amino acids, and are much healthier then the animal protein, you can EASILY get enough high quality protein on vegan diet
I've been, paleo, keto or carnivore for 15 years. I go out in the sun, I did a lot of extreme weather sports. I'm 38 and people often think I'm 30. I'm not advocating baking in the sun, but high protein, high quality animal based diet did me right. I also mainly ate dark berries and cooked veggies rather than more sugary fruit or raw veggies. Later on I supplemented liver and fish eggs often. Also i cured chronic migraines, got rid of my PMS, and naturally conceived two kids on the first try over the age of 36,... just a related side note.
This is absolutely false. Like soooooo bad haha. Please do adequate research following credible studies and credible scientists. A carnivore diet ages you faster at rates I’m scared to tell you. Eating a plant based diet slows down the aging process and that’s why you can be 35 and still get id’d for being under 18. This is sad aha. You could have looked so much younger if you took care of yourself.
I'm also pretty much carnivor. I do eat 3 different veggies when I do. Mostly lamb, beef, fish some pork and a little chicken. I just turned 79 and feel incredible. My skin has never looked better. Dr. Eric Westman and Dr. Ken Berry also RU-vid think like this marvelous doctor. I also use his trifecta. Thank you for a wonderful product.
being vegan for 18 years has been doing me pretty well :) turning 37 this year ppl still often guess me much younger. I do feel after the stress having 2 kids and sleep deprivation it aged me a bit more.
I went to my dermatologist this morning for a follow up from my VI-Chemical Peel and I asked about rf microneedling as the next step for treating my acne scars. She told me I wasn’t a candidate for rf microneedling for two reasons: 1) because I’m dark skin and at risk of hyperpigmentation and 2) my skin does not have any laxity issues. She then said my skin was young. That just made my day because I’m 40 (although my skin is still acne prone). I am so glad I started using tretinoin in my 20s in addition to sunscreen, but amped up my skincare routine in my early 30s when I began using vitamin C serums, peptide serums and exfoliating weekly with glycolic acids. Turns out having acne did some good for me after all.
I had acne too , and oily skin as well , I am in my early sixties , and most people think I am in my very early 50’s. Keep up the good work ( I did , and ii payed off!!😊)
@@Pinkhair332 my favs are the Timeless CoQ10 serum which has matrxyl 3000 in it and although you only mentioned serums, the skin-fix triple lipid peptide moisturizer is also great so I just wanted to mention it😉
Nice to hear this being addressed. I personally observe friends/family who consume a well-balanced vegan diet (while limiting other toxins and using sun protection) have clear skin and bright whites of their eyes, and no dark circles. The eyes say a lot.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I'm 45, turn vegetarian when I was 17 and vegan 10 years ago (for animals but also for the planet), and it's hard to get informations. I'm a "healthy" vegan, and by that I mean : I don't eat processed food, I cook every day, eat LOTS of - mostly organic - vegetables and fruits, and then plant proteins, lots of lentils, peas, nuts, seeds, not much carbs, no sugar besides the one coming from the fruits. Anyway, I know it's not the best for my skin but I won't change the way I eat so thank you for sharing your knowledge! Regards, from Paris, France!
Plastic surgery should be affordable for everyone. If I win the lottery I'm going to get a non-profit that gives donations so people can finally affordable plastic surgery because when you look good you feel good and it keeps depression at bay.
Therapist helps with mental issues but when you start going through menopause there is some depressed feelings of looking old when you see how much you have changed. I had a business, everything and it was stolen away in divorce and I use to get facials, laser, still use good product but nothing can really fix aging from menopause like surgery. Not everyone can afford surgery. I wish I could have my eyelids done and neck and jowels fixed that would help me feel better after losing everything I had worked so hard to build to theft.
I'm putting all money I can into starting a new business so praying 🙏 I can one day afford all that I need again with my facial skin and more. Whoo hoo!!! Thank you Dr. K very informative for my future procedures and the best way to keep my skin looking its best!!
Couldn’t agreeee more!!! But after the UV exposure, Sugar is the biggest enemy of our skin and overall health. So unnecessary in our diet too. I’m living happy without it 😊
I couldn’t agree more. I used to live in France for few years and I have noticed that the people there are aging very well - have a good skin, are healthy and attractive,their diet is based on animal products, they eat tones of butter,cheeses, meats and fish on daily basis Just a little observation
I eat proteins, good fats, eggs, little carbs, try to stay gluten-free, don’t eat much fruit, take a few supplements, don’t go crazy with exercise, try to stay low stress, use sunscreen, use good skincare.
Important correction..veganism isn't a diet. Veganism is a lifestyle based on ethics and the belief that animals should not be harmed or exploited by humans. So you can be vegan and eat loads of vegan junk food (unhealthy) or you can be vegan and eat for health with a predominantly whole foods plant based diet. I have never looked or felt better since switching to the later 💚🌱
I know no vegans o vegetarians who do that for health purpose. People with that motivation stop it eventually like they stop any other diet from which they expect miraculous weight loss or other benefits.
Keto CAN be really good for skin if done correctly. Lemons and bell pepper for vitamin C, seafood nuts and organ meat for zinc and copper. And berries and dark vegetables for antioxidants. Eggs are also multivitamins. Regardless of what diet is followed the main thing is to get enough vegetables and phytonutrients.
Great video! I have a condition that causes higher than normal levels of thirst so I drink at least 3 litres of water a day. I have never smoked, don't drink, and have eaten a high protein low sugar diet for the past twenty years. I am 43 and look at least a decade younger. When I don't wear makeup I get mistaken for someone in their 20s. 🙂
I mainly eat meat, veggies, fish, and lots of fruits, also walk an hour a day, lift weights 3x a week, and get lots of sleep. I've recently taken your advice on the coolibar face masks since I walk outside so much. Such a game changer!! I no longer have to spend $ on lasers and just am very intense about my sun protection and consistent with skin care (cleanser, vitamin c, moisturizer, retinol). thanks doc!
My routine is identical minus the fruits (just don’t like the sweetness). Sleep, eating meats and religiously applying sunscreen made a huge difference in my skin. Additionally, quitting alcohol last year basically made my skin age backwards. Also, for whatever reason at 42 my body started craving bone broth and cartilage. I could never stand it until then. I’m turning into my parents. Next stop will be cracking the bones and sucking out the bone marrow 🫣😂
Incredible explanation. As a Virgo, I welcome such organized structure explaining what is so important to understand of our biology. Thank you so much!💎🙏
When I was vegan I found I ate so much healthier.. no processed food, no junk food, way more vegetables, beans, nuts and avocado.. hardly any bread or pasta.. I felt great and my skin looked the best it ever has!! It’s strange realising that some vegans don’t have such a healthy diet. I found that most or all processed foods contained dairy and also contained sugar. I believe it was the no sugar plus the greater variety of whole, unprocessed foods that made me feel and look better than ever. I’ve been considering going vegan again, mostly because I hate animal cruelty, but struggle (maybe selfishly?) with wanting to make sure I’m incorporating all the nutrients I need for anti-aging..🫤
I’m been vegan almost 10 years, I’m 35 and people think I’m 23, I would say incorporating lots of healthy fats like walnuts and avocados really helps my skin looking plump!
I absolutely love skin school Dr. Karam. I have learned so much since viewing your videos and am so happy that I try to put the things you named in my diet or I will take supplements which I have done for years. No salt, sugar, dairy and low carb. as much as possible. Thank you so much for a great video Dr. Karam. It is a very informative and educational video and I thank you so very much.
The plant-based diet glow and daily sunscreen wins EVERY SINGLE TIME. And the older you get the better it gets. Dr. Brooke Goldner. Dr. Kristi Funk sooo many stunning plant-based docs (without the keto pores and dark circles)
These are not his opinions though they are science facts so don’t be bogged down you have a choice to switch your diet. Get the essential amino acids from animal protein sources.
I do believe that our diet show on our skin. As a non smoker, non alcohol drinker ,lactose, nut and gluten free vegetarian. I am a walking testament to I look what I eat. I'm 48 years old, always mistaken for mid 20s.
Hi, Chris from the Canaries. I am 75, been a Vegan for three years minimum, vegetarian before that for about 20 years. Behind a breeder of animals. Just no way I could an animal. I have lots of muscle mass and my face has changed so much over the last 3years. Trying plant based,vegan, collagen boosts. I know that collagen cannot enter your skin's so creams have always been a big no no.Bovine or marine. You are so far away. Can you recommend any specials doctor as yourself over here, or in Spain. I feel really sad when I pass a mirror as I'm still 37 in my heart.❤
There are also some plant based complete proteins with all amino acids: Quinoa Soy products Buckwheat Hemp Chia seed Spirulina Amaranth For anyone interested.
Thank you so much Dr. Karam, …your presentation is 5*, …I have listened to it twice & it has absolutely memorised me.. you have a unique way of making this subject more easily understood & so enjoyable.. thank you again, I just love it !!!
Thank you. Thing is I've seen studies that say you can get most nutrients except vitamin C through meats if you are eating grass fed, pasture raised meats, as the nutrients are in the diet of the animal and are more bioavailable than eating vegetables as many people can't break them down completely enough and absorb the nutrients. Vegetable should be cooked enough to be more easily digested and a good majority of people could use the assistance of a digestive supplement and Betaine HCL with pepsin. People who are without their gallbladders need those as well as ox bile to help them break down fats and proteins and absorb the nutrients properly.
Vegan , high raw , Whole Foods and lots of fruits and not only my skin is glowing but so is my health. I don’t need science , I see it. Ketoers end up aging fast for some reason
Vegetable and fruit grains and legumes have all your amino acid’s. Raw vegans have the most beautiful skin they look much younger than most people Whole Food plant base No processed foods!!!
Someone should interview Pharrell Williams and ask what he eats on a daily basis. I know he has stated in the past that he exfoliates like a mad man but he just turned 50 and still looks 25. He must be eating the fountain of youth or something😂😂
If you keep your high school weight, eat right and exercise you will keep your youth. I went to my 40th HS reunion and the ones that gained weight were unrecognizable and looked much older. Those who stayed fit looked the same but with some expected wrinkles but nothing like those who let themselves go. Even if you gained weight and lost it, you have done the damage. I know, because I was doing fine until menopause (and Hashimotos) and then I gained 15 lbs. even after losing it I never regained my pre weight gain look 😢 If you are young you can rebound better, but my advice to the young, at all costs keep your weight level.
Whole30 seems to be the best “diet” out there because it’s not a diet at all. It’s just going back to basics and eating the way humans ate before we learned how to process and add sugar to nearly everything. Also, cutting out dairy has changed my life when it comes to inflammation
You are sooooo right I tested this. I watched your video just to confirm this. I've been paying attention to my body. the things you've listed are the things I've experienced. You have to balance and know all these steps. ❤❤❤
@@ijustwanttosleepnow not only is it incomplete but it blocks absorption of many minerals and vitamins and makes the protein in it basically unavailable to the body
What’s the best way to care for the skin on the entire body? Best sunscreen, lotion, if any, soap…the things we all use every day, year after year, decade after decade. I’m 71 😬 can’t exactly backpedal but can make smart purchases that’ll make me feel better about the products I use. I use collagen/protein supplements daily, eat right most of the time and exercise with the goal of getting stronger with resistant training. I’m not ready to give up on the fight against aging.
It's wonderful to hear that you're committed to taking care of your skin and overall health! As you continue on your skincare journey, here are some tips and recommendations to help you make smart choices: Cleansing: Opt for a gentle, hydrating body wash or soap that doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils. Look for products that are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother texture. Consider using a gentle body scrub or exfoliating mitt a few times a week. Moisturizing: Apply a hydrating body lotion or cream daily to keep your skin moisturized and prevent dryness. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. Sun Protection: Sunscreen isn't just for the face! Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to exposed areas of your body, especially when spending time outdoors. Reapply every two hours. Antioxidants: Consider using body products that contain antioxidants like vitamin C and E. These can help protect your skin from free radicals and environmental damage. Collagen Supplements: Continue with your collagen/protein supplements, as they can contribute to skin health. Make sure you're also getting a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Lifestyle Factors: You're already focusing on exercise and nutrition, which is fantastic. Adequate sleep, stress management, and staying active all play a role in skin health too. Consult a Professional: If you're considering more targeted treatments, like body-focused skincare products or procedures, it's a good idea to consult a dermatologist or skincare professional. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs and goals.
I absolutely love your videos, and all of the knowledge that you share with us. I am so glad that I found you! I buy your trifecta products now, and for see being one of your patients soon. Thank you so much.
Balance of all components is the key. It is the quantities one need to pay attention to. And in my practice and experience worst looking people I have met are vegans. Skin wise.
@@dramirkaram I did enjoy it! I love how your mind thinks. I'm in complete accord with everything you said 😊 And as always, you get the key points across in a factual, neutral way without stepping into the potential maelstrom of ideological one-upsmanship! 😝
It may not have been the video that was important for you but I feel what he said was right on spot and very important information for me. Dr. Karam has a great way of stating information so that it is easy to understand to follow.
I was taking bovine collagen for about three years, with no noticeable effect. Then I found a particular marine collagen that healed my bones and connective tissues. I didn't know about types, back then. Now I know, after trying other marine collagens with no effect, that this particular brand is special because it has collagen types 1&2. Type 2 is what helps reduce my arthritis and connective tissue pain. I can now stand and walk all day, can walk without too much back and hip pain. I can use my hands. On the few times I've experimented with other brands of collagen that don't have the same proportions, my pain all comes back. I will never willingly be without it again. It probably helps my skin, too.
@@ummesufzar6834 I use marine collagen from Further Food. It has both types 1&2 collagen, unlike most marine collagens that are only Type 1 collagen. You have to take it for about 6 weeks before you begin to realize that you don't hurt as much. In other words, if you want to get some, order at least 2 containers because it takes time for the type 2 collagen to do its repair work, and so it'll take at least a month for you to notice results. It took 6 weeks of using it daily for me to realize that I was managing to stand still in one place, without pain.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful talk Dr karam..❤it was so informative and educational..I learnt a lot from this video. Thank you so much again. ❤❤❤
Thanks Dr Karam for all your advices and videos, quite easy to understand even from a french like me😉hope to enable to see you as soon as I could. You are 'la Haute Couture' in your field
Thank you so much Dr. Karam! I really look forward to your educational videos! They are very informative and they let me know how to continue to keep my skin healthy and looking its best. I am so happy that I discovered your RU-vid channel and I look forward to your future ones. 😊
If you’re not a vegetarian or vegan, BONE BROTHS are an effective source of collagen. They’re really popular with Asians. Amongst other lifestyle practices to prevent aging, you can see that they generally do have younger-looking skin.
Really helpful video, thank you so much. Could you do a follow up and talk about *quantities* and *doses* required. I know this will vary by body weight, gender, health status, medications, age, etc but just some general guidelines, eg: say, for a healthy 50 year old 150 lb female body, how many mg of vitamin C, how many berries a day, etc? That would be so helpful!
Please please pleasee tell us what work you've gotten done. I don't see many men talking about what they've done plastic surgery wise and I'd love to know what one does to achieve such a perfect face
Doctor , Zinc is found in seafood, copper is found in shellfish & nuts. Or we need fruits? I consume lemon/lime juice for vitamin c I follow High protein Keto :Meat & fish , lemon/lime . Dairy, avacado , oliveoil &ghee & some cooked greens.
I love this video. I think that one of the graphics may have lysine spelled incorrectly??? I am very grateful to know all of this amazing information. Thank you so much.
Also, there is nothing unhealthy about pasta with marinara sauce, as long as the pasta isn't made from refined white flour. Unrefined carbs are incredible for your health. Refined carbs are a different story. :)
Nooooo, please go back to a vegan diet for the best anti aging diet. It’s actually what keeps you looking younger as you age at a much slower rate than having animal foods in your diet. Please don’t just base your knowledge off of a plastic surgeon, as much as I love him, this is one area he doesn’t know the whole picture because he doesn’t specialize in epigenetics. Check out the world’s leading longevity expert and Harvard researcher Dr David Sinclair. He breaks down why a plant based diet is best for slowing the rates of aging. I’m 35 and still get id’d for being under 18. It’s 100% because of my plant based diet. I look younger than everyone and I love it, but it’s not a coincidence. There’s actually studies to back up why this is. Please check out his book life span or one of the many podcasts out there that have interviewed him.
Thanks for the video. For anti-ageing treatment, it will be great to do a video and elaborate on that since there are too many in the market. Like for instance what kind of laser do you recommend, etc.
you can use as many chemicals rf tightening as long as you do not eat well and live without stress your skin will not improve. so many people look older and use so many skin interventions. iy you are in a catabolic state e.g. with stress nothing can help.
