How do we reverse sun damage?

[CCS]

I think a vitamin D cream is our best bet. Maybe it will make the immune system attack any cells with altered DNA. That is just my guess though. Who knows if it will work.

There are other topicals that will tell the cells to make better skin, but the bad DNA remains.

Resveratrol slows aging in other ways, like the cron diet, but it does not reverse sun aging, I think.

Men who work in offices have much younger faces than men who work outside all their lives. Sunblock helps a lot.

My skin was way better in high school, and good at age 21 on my drivers license, and older now. I don't think it has gotten any worse in the last 4 years though, from pics, but that is because I've stayed out of the sun religiously. I want to reverse it though.

I want a sunscreen with antioxidants in it, but all have vitamin A in them, which may make your skin more susceptible to DNA damage.

I thought you'd got past this crap? :shakehead:
You're not going to make yourself look younger as you get older, it is'nt going to happen not unless you opt for a facelift eg.

Stop looking for magic potions.

hyaluronic acid
It is best eaten, but also good as a topical.

And cheap too.
I'm going to try it.



Summary of youtube video:
10% of asians in a town are over 85, and many live to be 100.
It is not genetics, since western food has caused their kids to die before their parents.
Analysis of their food found hyaluronic acid to be the main difference, and test show it is useful for many things.
Now for sale cheap everywhere, and made it on ABC news.

Miracle pills like this come out every few months. (Glucosamine, Flax seed, BCAA's..... ) All have been hailed as super pills. Maybe if its true you could enjoy some of its benifits and at best slow down the effects of ageing over the years, but theres no way on earth that you are going to get younger looking as you get older.

How do you reverse sun damage? More vitamin D.
IE: How do you reverse sun damage? Get more sun!

Hehe, in all seriousness though, sun light is great in moderation. Going out to the beach for hours on end to back and fry your cells is maybe not the best idea. Still our species is meant to obtain sunlight and low vitamin D levels ends up altering the expression of over 200 different genes in the human body. So best bet, depending on where you live in regards to the equator, religiously get 10-40 minutes of heavy sun light a day ALL YEAR ROUND. This means braving as much of the cold weather as you can during the winter months.

I love thinking about how skin cancer rates are higher in latitudes that get less sun radiation over the year.

One thing i noticed is whenever i get a heavy flu or the seasonal flu if i go out and sit in the sun for a while and i feel better for the rest of the day. I just thought that was interesting.

Sun light increases cognitive performance as well!
