Smile and Skin 1/4

Smile and skin: It’s a natural anti-aging care.

Laughter and smiles have a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system. It will also boost your immune system and keep you healthy and beautiful. Aging care is related not only to the use of aging care cosmetics but also to everyday casual actions. Smile and skin anti-aging have a close relation.

“Laughing” is one such act, and it has a beautiful skin effect!

Doesn’t it make you feel physically and mentally refreshed when you laugh out loud? Laughter relieves stress, promotes blood circulation, and reduces active oxygen. That’s why smiles and laughter also lead to anti-aging and aging care of skin and others.

Through the series of our posts from this one, we will introduce various effects of “laughter” on the mind and body from a scientific point of view.

Stress physically damages your skin.

Have you ever laughed holding your stomach recently?
A 4-year-old child, curious about everything, laughs more than 300 times a day, but adults are said to laugh less than 15 times a day on average.

Some may think, “Huh? Maybe I haven’t laughed 15 times…”.
Modern society exposes you to stress.
You may have wrinkled your eyebrows more often unconsciously.

Stress can also cause rough skin and is one of the great enemies of beautiful skin and aging care. When stress increases, it doesn’t matter only mentally. It increases active oxygen to counter such stress, leading to skin oxidation.
As a result, the aging of the skin progresses.

Natural healing power of laughter and smile, on skin and everything

Here, I would like to pay a little attention to the health and aging care effects that laughter and smiles bring to beauty.
It is becoming clear that “laughter” can improve the natural healing power that we possess and positively affect both the body and the skin.

What if you could have beautiful skin just by smiling?
Like aging care cosmetics, I want to make laughter a daily habit.

In the following posts, I will introduce the effects of laughter and smiles on beautiful skin, health, and anti-aging.
We will also discuss how to have a good laugh.

How can I get myself to fall asleep?

Blood circulation improvement will help you to fall asleep.

How can I get myself to fall asleep? This will be the question many people have. They say that the human body becomes sleepy by lowering the deep temperature of the body. Heat is emitted from extremities such as limbs to lower the core temperature. Therefore, if the blood circulation in the hands and feet is poor, your body won’t release the heat well. It may disturb you from falling asleep smoothly. Therefore, when you can’t sleep, we recommend stretching the soles of your feet to improve blood circulation.

Warm up the deep part of your body with a bath.

Japanese-style bathing is very effective for good sleep. People enter a state of rest by lowering their body temperature in preparation for falling asleep. Warming the deep part of the body by taking a bath will promote temperature regulation, and you can fall asleep smoothly.

Showering will warm up only the surface of the body. Soaking in a bath with lukewarm water of 38 to 40 degrees for about 10 to 20 minutes will warm you up from the core. Then the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, and the body goes into relaxation mode.
However, I think most people in America and Europe do not have a Japanese-style bathing custom or facility. In that case, a foot bath will work instead.

When you have coldness and swelling of hands and feet

Coldness and swelling in the hands and feet are common problems in women. While it is crucial to improve your circulation by massage, you can also support better circulation by physically lifting your feet with a foot pillow.

When you can’t fall asleep, not sleeping is an option.

When you say, “I just can’t fall asleep,” it may be due to the “defensive instinct” of the human body. When you look back on the times when you couldn’t sleep, wasn’t it when something terrible happened to you?
Sleep has the role of putting together the day’s events in chronological order and fixing them. Good and bad things will be fixed in your memory when you sleep. When you go to sleep after something terrible happens, you naturally remember it. They say that sometimes defensive instincts work to keep you from sleeping.
Trying to force yourself to sleep when you can’t fall asleep will lead to further stress, such as being unable to sleep due to impatience or having light sleep. In such a case, one option is to take the plunge and say, “I won’t sleep when I can’t sleep!”

Hair wellness from within

Anti-aging by hair wellness from within

Hair loss and thinning in women are said to be more challenging to treat than in men. It’s due to multiple causes in women complexly intertwined with aging and hormonal imbalance. Hair wellness from within is essential for your hair anti-aging.

Hair deterioration by hormone imbalance

“The secretion of estrogen, the female hormone that affects hair, peaks in the late 20s and gradually decreases, along with changes such as dryness, swells, and fine hair. In addition, the amount of estrogen decreases sharply from around 50, so the hair quality deteriorates further, hair thinning progresses, and gray hair becomes more noticeable. After menopause, female hormones decrease, Male hormones become relatively dominant, and male pattern baldness (AGA) can occur in women.” Natural menopause supplements like Juveriente® Effisoy® will be helpful.

Easier Menopause Experiences of Japanese Women and Miso Soup, and Effisoy®

Japanese women have far easier menopause experiences.Japanese women are known for their far easier menopause experience than westerners. It's not by special supplements, but by their traditional dietary habit.Miso is a fermented soy paste, and most Japanese take miso soup every day. Many doctors in Japan attribute the reason for Japanese more effortless menopause experiences to this traditional dietary habit. The fermentation removes sugar from its isoflavone and makes it absorbable for ...

Nervous system disorder

Be careful of the nervous system disorder due to stress. “When you receive mental and physical stress, the nervous system is disturbed, resulting in poor blood circulation and blood flow to the ends, causing hair roots to become malnourished. Zero stress is unrealistic. Find your way to relieve stress and release it before it builds up.

Sleep shortage

Sleep shortage and malnutrition are also high-risk factors for hair loss for modern women. Clinical results show that hair loss is noticeable when sleep time is less than 5 hours. “70% of growth hormone involved in producing new hair is secreted during sleep. The body secretes growth hormones abundantly during deep sleep immediately after falling asleep. Continual sleep deprivation will lower hair matrix cells’ division and bloodstream. It will eventually hinder hair growth. Try to get at least 6 hours of sleep and good quality sleep with few awakenings in the middle of the night.

Take balanced nutrition.

The center of hair wellness from within is nutrition. If you don’t get enough nutrients that make up your hair, your hair will inevitably become thin and weak. Especially people on a diet may be at the brink. 90% of hair is a protein called keratin made up of 18 kinds of amino acids. You should take in at least one protein source, such as seafood, meat, soybeans, soybean foods, and dairy products, in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Biotin and vitamins B2 and B6 are also important. It is ideal for taking them through food, but take supplements if it is difficult.”

About Scalp troubles

And finally, though not actually the hair wellness from within, scalp troubles. It often raises immediate troubles like redness, itching, and eczema. There are various causes. Hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners that are unsuitable for the scalp, strong irritation from chemicals such as perms and hair coloring, dryness due to over-washing, sunburn, excessive heat damage, oxidative stress, etc. Inflammation in the scalp will disturb the scalp turnover and may accelerate aging. However, there seems to be no medical data that hair loss increases due to oil clogging the scalp’s pores. Don’t be too desperate to remove the dirt but protect the moisture.

Best foods for skin anti-aging

To maintain youthful skin, lifestyle habits such as diet, sleep, and exercise are more critical than skincare and cosmetics.
It is necessary to be beautiful not only on the surface but also from within.

Skin changes with age

As you age, your skin loses its firmness and adds wrinkles, sagging, and dullness.

Foods and ways to eat that are bad for your skin

【food】

Processed food
Instant foods such as instant noodles, soft drinks, and sweets are low in vitamins, often contain a lot of sugar and fat, and are mostly high in calories for their size.
Excessive sugar intake causes a phenomenon called saccharification, in which proteins in the body stick together and harden, which can lead to aging of the skin (dullness, etc.).

Unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid
Unsaturated fatty acids in safflower oil and margarine are oxidized in the body and become hydrogen peroxide, which oxidizes sebum and destroys the antioxidant substances in the skin. It may accelerate skin aging. It is better to use oil containing a lot of oleic acids, such as olive oil, fish oil, and linseed oil, which have antioxidant properties and they will have anti-aging effects.

【how to eat】

Late night snacks
Snacks late at night will raise blood sugar levels. It will accelerate saccharification and aging of the skin.

Fast eating
Eating too quickly can rapidly increase blood sugar levels, and overeating can lead to excess calorie intake. Chew well and eat slowly.

Best foods for skin anti-aging and how to eat

【food】

Good quality protein
Collagen, which keeps the skin and skin firm, is made of proteins (amino acids). Let’s take high-quality protein from chicken, fish, soybeans, etc., so as not to exceed the calorie. The recommended intake is 1g of protein per 1kg body weight.
Fish is one of the healthy sources of protein. It is animal and high in protein but lower in fat than livestock meat.

Vitamin
Vitamins E, C, B2, and β-carotene, which are antioxidants, are said to be particularly effective in preventing skin aging. Let’s actively take green vegetables, such as green peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and spinach, that are rich in vitamins.

Brown carbs
Carbohydrates should ideally be as natural as possible. Unrefined carbohydrates, such as brown rice, contain plenty of good ingredients for the skin, such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Choose brown rice instead of white rice, and rye or whole grain bread for bread.

【how to eat】

Well balanced
Best foods for skin anti-aging will actually make sense if you take them in the right ways.
No matter how much vitamins are good for the skin, it’s never good for your body and skin if you take only vitamins.
The most important thing is nutritional balance. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (of Japan) recommends eating 30 items daily, but counting 30 items every day is quite difficult. The ideal meal traditionally said in the Japanese diet is one soup, two side dishes, and one staple food. Try to have a balanced menu regarding vitamins, protein, and iron.

80% eating
To prevent excessive calorie intake and saccharification, remember to “hold down at the 80 % of the stomach“. To “hold down on 80% of your stomach”, eating three meals at a fixed time in a day is essential, and eating slowly and chewing well will help you.

Anti-aging through diet

What we eat makes our body. A balanced diet is vital to stay healthy and youthful. If you want to keep young skin forever, let’s start with “diet to anti-aging.”

Take a Japanese anti-aging secret through a natural supplement!

Fermented soy is one of the secrets of anti-aging of Japanese women. Fermented foods are often hard to eat for people of other dietary cultures. But you can take the essence easily through the supplement.

5 Anti-aging Foods

You will see tons of anti-aging secrets in shops from cosmetics to supplements to exercise classes. But the most essential base is simply the foods you take. Today we introduce you 5 anti-aging foods, and one more from the Japanese diet.

1. Banana

Banana is a food rich in B vitamins. Many of the B vitamins are involved in various metabolisms.

2. Salmon

Astaxanthin contained in salmon has an antioxidant effect. We can expect it to suppress oxidative stress, which is the cause of aging.

3. Citrus fruits

The third of the 5 anti-aging foods is a very common one. Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C has a high antioxidant effect. We can expect it to prevent cancer and improve immune function.

4. Avocado

Avocados are rich in vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin E suppresses active oxygen that causes aging.

5. Almonds

Almonds, like avocados, are rich sources of vitamin E. Vitamin E not only has an antioxidant effect but also promotes blood circulation and increases metabolism. We can expect it to prevent skin aging and improve coldness and stiff shoulders.

Additional: Soybean food

After the above 5 anti-aging foods, I like to introduce you one fantastic food. You may not have a habit of eating soybean. But it is one of the staples in Japan. Japanese people are known for their excellent health, like long life expectancy and low breast cancer onset ratio.
Soybeans contain soybean saponin, which has an antioxidant effect, soybean lecithin, which lowers total cholesterol; and oligosaccharides, which increase the beneficial bacteria in the intestine.

You can take the soy’s health essence through a natural supplement!

Please let us introduce one amazing review in Amazon, who took the same health secret as Japanese women through Juveriente®’s EFFISOY®. Very long, sorry, but she expressed her super joy with full of texts. (This is about her menopause symptom, but it also helps other difficulties by aging even after the menopause age. )

“ I Am Now Free of Hot Flashes!!: I am 49 years old and was thrown into surgical menopause after very large cysts were found on both of my ovaries and I was forced to have a complete hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. I began having symptoms immediately which compounded my difficult recovery from surgery since I had to have a vertical incision laparotomy. Hot flashes were so intense that I slept in just my hospital gown, no blankets and a fan pointed at me all day and night. When I came home it wasn’t better. I was having flashes every 30-45 minutes. It was torture. I started watching YouTube videos about hysterectomies before my surgery so I had a frame of reference. While watching I came across a naturopathic doctor who specializes in women’s health. She had very specific suggestions for dealing with the various symptoms of menopause. For hot flashes, she recommended Effisoy. There were no reviews (remark: in 2019) anywhere on the internet but I was desparate and bit the bullet. After about 2 weeks I felt like maybe the flashes were letting up but I couldn’t tell. Then about 2 days ago I was watching a movie with my husband and I sprang up and said, “I haven’t had one hot flash today!” I was convinced after saying it out loud I would jinx myself. Well, I’m three days now free of hot flashes. I immediately ordered another bottle of Effisoy and just got it in the mail (thank you Amazon Prime 1 day shipping!). I would highly recommend trying this if you are suffering with hot flashes. But be patient and don’t miss a day. It took nearly a whole bottle to work for me. I was 100% faithful at taking it every day just after breakfast. I won’t be without it now. For those worried about the soy in this, this soy is a fermented soy germ. Not the adulterated American soy that has been the center of controversy for women’s health products.”

Benefits of Eating Seaweed

Many skin problems, such as sunburn and dryness due to ultraviolet rays, and acne due to excessive secretion of sebum, tend to occur in summer. In such a case, I would like to take care of my daily diet, eat a lot of foods that are good for the skin, and take care of my skin from the inside. We will see the benefits of eating seaweed here.

Low-calorie and skin-friendly “seaweed.”

When it comes to foods that are good for the skin, many people think of citrus fruits rich in vitamin C. Still, seaweed, which Japanese people eat casually daily, is also a food that improves the skin’s condition. Seaweed is low in calories, so even people on a diet can safely eat it. In addition, you can expect a beautiful skin effect. It is just what we want to take into our daily diet.

What are “alginic acid” and “fucoidan” contained in seaweed?

As other benefits of eating seaweed, it contains ingredients such as vitamins and minerals that help maintain skin health.
In addition, attention is also increasing to ingredients such as “alginic acid,” which has the effect of lowering blood pressure, and “fucoidan,” which activates natural killer cells (NK cells).

Alginic acid is a natural dietary fiber, a component of the stickiness peculiar to seaweed. Alginic acid is good at moisturizing the skin, and people say that it leads to trouble-free skin by protecting it from dryness and the skin from friction.
In addition, you can expect alginic acid to bind with salt (sodium) in the body and excrete it outside the body. You can also expect it to slow the absorption of sugar. It supports people concerned about lifestyle-related diseases.

Fucoidan has an antioxidant effect and is said to prevent oxidation of the body and prevent aging of the skin.

Healthy diet for your skin beauty

There are probably more than a few people who have had the experience of having trouble applying makeup when their stomach is not feeling well after a series of events or having breakouts from eating junk food too frequently.
Healthy dietary habit is the base of your beautiful skin. Here we introduce you the good habits for your skin health.

Dietary habits that may cause rough skin

Overeating

Many people will eat more than before, such as picking snacks to relieve stress and having food within reach when working remotely. Overeating strains the stomach and intestines, contributing to dull skin and poor complexion.

Imbalanced diet

There may be a case that the menu was unexpectedly only carbohydrates eventually while you think you are healthy because you cook for yourself. Continuing meals mainly with carbohydrates causes a lack of protein and minerals, making it challenging to create healthy skin.

Lack of water

If you have fewer opportunities to go out and live a less active life, you will be less likely to get thirsty. Water in the body carries oxygen and nutrients and collects waste products through blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.

What are the dietary habits that prevent rough skin?

Breakfast

First and foremost, don’t skip breakfast. However, preparing a nutritionally balanced meal every morning is challenging. Also, some people may not be hungry when they wake up. A glass of milk and a banana is OK for such a person. Putting something in your mouth will turn on your sympathetic switch, and the autonomic nerves are easier to prepare, helping to bring the turnover closer to normal.

Lunch/Dinner

Ensure you have a well-balanced intake of the three major nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), vitamins, and minerals. Suppose you imagine a set meal format with staple foods such as bread and noodles, main dishes such as meat, fish, eggs, and side dishes such as vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms. In that case, it will be easier to maintain a nutritional balance.

We also recommend serving it with hot soup. If you make soup with lots of ingredients, such as vegetables and mushrooms, and eat it at the beginning of your meal, dietary fiber will prevent a spike in blood sugar levels. Also, taking fermented foods will improve the intestinal environment; I mean Japanese Miso soup for the latter.

Furthermore, for beautiful skin, the following nutrients should be proactively taken so as not to be deficient.

Nutrients and foods you need to eat consciously

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 keeps skin healthy and supports turnover. Foods rich in vitamin B2 include dairy milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, almonds, spinach, etc.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 prevents dermatitis and controls sebum. Pork, milk, salmon, beans, eggs, etc. contain a lot of it, but since pork has a lot of fat, it may be better to remove it.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen. Vegetables rich in vitamin C include paprika and broccoli. However, it is soluble in water and sensitive to heat, so it’s better to take it from cabbage that can be eaten raw, kiwifruit, strawberries, navel, and other fruits.

Potassium

Avocados, potatoes (taro, sweet potato, potatoes, etc.), almonds, peanuts, and spinach are rich in potassium, which helps cell metabolism and promotes skin regeneration.

Calcium

Calcium brings turnover closer to normal and is essential for smooth and transparent skin. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, small fish that are eatable to its bones, etc., contain large amounts.

Is it possible to use supplements? How to drink effectively

For minerals that tend to be deficient in food alone, you may want to consider using supplements.

For example, iron and zinc are essential minerals for maintaining healthy skin and promoting recovery from skin problems. In addition, as widely known, women are more prone to iron deficiency than men, primarily because of menstruation.

You will need to follow the prescribed amount of supplements and how to take them. It will be crucial to continue it for a certain period steadily. If you drink a lot of it at once because you’re concerned about skin problems, or if you stop drinking as soon as you see improvement, it won’t work well in your body.

In addition, vitamins and minerals work together, not independently. Remember that taking a specific supplement won’t make your skin look better. Please use it with the awareness of supplementing what is difficult to take from meals.
