Ya, Franz checking in again! What’s the worst part about the image in the mirror after about the age 30? Well, it’s the daily morning reminder of the fact that we are getting older! Corporate America uses our vanity against us to sell billions of dollars of mostly ineffective products. I believe very few help our skin age beautifully. This is what motivated me to talk about a simple treatment for aging skin. It’s a natural skin remedy call ALA.

What is your skin anyway? It is the largest organ of the body covering about 16 sq. ft., as an average, and weighs almost 8 pounds. Your skin performs many life saving functions such as protection from chemicals, heat, and cold. It shields our insides from invasion by bacteria and viruses. If we don’t protect our skin than it stops performing the function it was designed for. This all becomes very complicated with terms like free radicals, antioxidants, and oxygen shock, all playing a roll in either shielding or attacking the skin. The same oxygen we need to live also attack’s our skin daily, just as it does a freshly cut apple that immediately starts to turn brown. Nutrient deficient skin reacts in a similar fashion, over time, when the number of free radicals exceeds the number of healthy skin preserving antioxidants. If oxygen shock continues free radicals will attack the cell components that guarantee proper skin function. If the process goes too far, than skin cancer can start to grow.

So how do we prevent this? Well you have to be sure your body has a good supply of antioxidants circulating through it. Vitamin E for example helps your skin cells from becoming brittle and unable to absorb nutrients by protecting the cell membrane from oxygen shock. Vitamin C acts as a water-soluble antioxidant that stabilizes iron content in the water of the body. Now there is the Superman of antioxidants called ALA. What is ALA? It stands for alpha-lipoic acid. It protects both the fat and water systems of the body from oxygen shock. What makes ALA so great is that it fights oxygen shock better than any of the other antioxidants.

What if you could start to see wrinkles erased and skin looking more vibrant within a matter of weeks! ALA could help you do just that! It is the most natural treatment for aging skin, an almost natural face lift. It acts as a molecular surgeon activating a transcription factor known as AP-1. If you don’t have ALA in your diet than wrinkles are probable, but if you have ALA in your system, than AP-1 can go into hyper drive. Together these two promote the digestion of damaged and wrinkled collagen as a result of oxygen shock.

Okay, there’s a lot more biology to this topic but you can explore that for yourself. The point here is to be sure to take ALA daily. Franz takes ALA with ALCAR, which is not only good for the skin, but the heart as well. I like Jarrow Formulas ALCAR+ALA. It cost me about $7 for a month supply, and given all the wonderful benefits, it’s a wonderful natural cure for aging skin.

In addition to ALA being an inexpensive and natural treatment for aging skin, and something you can do daily to help your skin age beautifully, it can also help protect your skin from the attack of cancer. Not only that, but perhaps it may help in preventing memory loss, and even protect an aging heart. You may also be able to avoid the doctor, save money, and you won’t have to keep out of the sun. Hey, as I always say in these articles, don’t take my word for it, try it out for yourself and see how you look and feel. Do your research if you want to know more about a great natural treatment for aging skin.

As always, I wish you vibrant health, many blessings, and a long life!
