Most of you who read my blog know that I believe food has a huge impact on appearance, and not just in terms of our weight, resulting from how much food we eat; for example, I believe that sugar is a type of toxin that contributes to premature aging. Some of us have to do more chemical peels just to keep up with the bad diets we have, but…
Some foods actually help fight premature aging, which means fewer chemical peels!
According to a study presented at the annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), a nutritional soy supplement significantly improved the appearance of crow's feet (skin wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes), suggesting that supplements containing Natural S-equol have potential to slow skin aging.
S-equol is a compound resulting from the natural conversion of daidzein, an isoflavone
found in whole soybeans. Not everyone can produce S-equol after soy consumption because the production depends on certain bacteria present in the large intestine...more chemical peels for those of us who can’t produce it!

Preliminary evidence from observational studies suggests that those who produce S-equol naturally, may have fewer menopausal symptoms. Controlled clinical trials have documented that a supplement
containing Natural S-equol reduces the frequency of hot flashes as well as muscle discomfort associated with menopause.
Some studies in postmenopausal women have shown that hormone therapy increases skin's collagen content, elasticity, thickness, and hydration, while reducing wrinkles. Approximately 30% of the collagen fibers of the skin's middle dermal layer are diminished during the first five years after menopause--this means more wrinkles and more chemical peels.

I think most of us have read that soy may be beneficial in reducing the symptoms of menopause, so this isn’t a total surprise to me. I totally believe in the food-aging connection. If you’re interested in learning about other foods that may help reduce premature aging, please let me know.
