The common connection between both general internal aging of the body and the external aging of the skin can be directly related to DNA. It is the balance of DNA damage and DNA repair that controls aging.
Key cellular processes have been identified which are directly related to aging. These processes include genes that directly regulate 4 key essential reactions;
1) GLYCATION-The cross linking of glucose and protein molecules, with harmful effects in terms of aging.
In this process, something called advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed. In time, these end-products make collagen rigid, meaning that it loses its ability to keep skin firm, and ultimately contributes to making us look older than we really are.
Diets that are high in sugar accelerate glycation, causing more AGEs to form in the skin.
ANSWER: Yon-Ka EXCELLENCE CODE CREAM
Silicon-amino acid complex to fight against the deterioration of supporting fibers (collagen, elastin): anti-glycation. Defy time with this highly elaborate advanced anti-aging cream that addresses all needs of mature skin that has been affected by hormonal changes.
2) OXIDATION-Free radical damage to cells, with harmful results to genes, cell membranes and organelles.
ANSWER: Yon-Ka boosters. HYDRA, NUTRI, LIFT, DEFENCE
All containing anti oxidants.
Plus Phyto 58 cream and Vital Defence cream.
3) METHYLATION-The process whereby a methyl group attaches itself to a gene, rendering the gene inactive.
In the course of life, aging processes, environmental influences and lifestyle factors such as smoking or diet induce biochemical alterations to the DNA.
ANSWER: Yon-Ka Excellence Code or Time Resist range
4) INFLAMMATION-The body's response to infection and injury, normally a part of the healing process. Chronic inflammation is one of the key components of the aging process.
This inflammation is responsible for many age-related diseases including cardiovascular disease, arthritis and even dementia.
In the skin, inflammation causes a breakdown of the normal skin architecture, including:
1) LOSS OF COLLAGEN
2) LOSS IN HYALURONIC ACID
3) SKIN THINNING
4) breaks in the skin’s surface barrier resulting in WATER LOSS
5) increase in enzymes (called MMPs) that destroy normal skin proteins, including collagen
6) HYPERPIGMENTATION (“age spots”)
7) increased risk of SKIN CANCER.
