Why Do We Get Wrinkles? Hi. My name is Rene with Reality of Aging and today’s subject is going to be why we wrinkle – that ongoing question, that nagging question that all of us ask us. Well, most females and most men – some of kind of neglect this question, but the ones that do have that question – why we wrinkle. Hmm. Well, today we're going to find out. First of all, we have to first understand the human body. The human body is designed to heal. I'm sure all of us can remember when we were 16, 17 years-old. We got scratched. It healed it no time. Our healing ability at that age – I'm 42 now, let's say, 20 years ago was enormous. I healed like crazy. How's that? And now, I heal not so good. But, that's why we wrinkle – because we don't heal as efficiently as we did when we were 16. So, through the ravages of time and the environment, more than anything, we have to understand all of this is based on inflammation. Now, the reason why I bring this up is because inflammation – to understand wrinkling, we have to understand that inflammation is the nucleate, is the beginning part of how this all starts. So, let's get to it. Let's figure out how we can avoid inflammation so we don't wrinkle. Number one, let's think about our food. Always think about food when it comes to the human body because what we eat is what we are. Now, all pro-inflammatory foods that cause inflammation, that cause aging, that cause wrinkles would be your starches, your alcohol, and your sugars. Void them out of your diet and you will wrinkle a lot less. Your body's ability to heal would be more efficient because it's not just trying to heal the damage done by the pro-inflammatory foods. It's trying to heal the damage simply done by environment, and all of us are subject to environment because we live on this planet and, obviously, we have to coexist with what's going on, so we're going to have inflammation from that.
