Wrinkle Creams Guide

It seems that every new day brings forth new studies that show that the more soy you eat, the better off you will be. If you are new to soy, you will be happy to know that tofu, which is made of soy, goes with just about anything and tastes great fried, baked or even grilled. New studies have shown that a diet rich in soy can actually give you younger looking skin, as well. It isn’t too late to switch over to a diet rich in soy, and it may turn out that you need less anti aging cream because of it. Here is the low down on one of nature’s most perfect foods.

When scientists look at soy proteins under a microscope, they see some very peculiar things. Soy contains proteins that mimic estrogen and these proteins can even help to trick the human body into thinking there is more estrogen in the bloodstream than normal. This extra estrogen is gobbled up by skin cells and put to good use throughout the body. Recent studies on animals showed that an increased level of soy protein aided in protection against the sun. Don’t be surprised if you begin to see soy protein products in your favorite creams.

While only preliminary studies have been done, it is also thought that increased amounts of soy protein in our diets can increase our bodies manufacturing of hyaluronic acid. This acid is a key agent in the fight for younger looking skin. It works like the bodies’ own treatment by thickening the skin and naturally hiding the signs of wrinkles. We have always heard that having a thick skin is a good thing, now we learn that it helps to keep wrinkles away, too.

If all of this isn’t enough to get you on a high soy diet right away, additional studies have shown even more promise when it comes to soy protein. The same soy proteins that can trick your body into believing it has more estrogen than it really does can also help to reverse the appearance of age spots. The study that confirmed this was small, and additional studies are currently underway, but it may turn out that soy protein does the same work as all of your products combined.

The question that many doctors are asking is if these proteins work just as well in products as they do if you ingest them. There are a number of top cosmetic companies right now investing huge amounts of money into research to answer that very question. Just as Vitamin A and aloe are common ingredients today, the future will likely show soy protein as a cornerstone ingredient in the future. Until then, you can begin to incorporate soy into your diet with ease. It can be used as a replacement for meat in almost any recipe and it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with.
