The dermatovenerologist assessed the effect of nutrition on the skin condition

Nutrition directly affects the appearance. Ekaterina Vasilyeva, Candidate of Medical Sciences, dermatovenerologist, founder and chief physician of Artleo Clinic, told about this on Tuesday, June 9.

According to the doctor, the diet that a person adheres to always has a strong effect on the condition of his skin. For example, if the menu does not contain animal protein, which is a building material for the entire body, the epidermis becomes dehydrated, emaciated with a grayish tinge.

"Alcohol, in turn, destroys collagen fibers in the skin, which leads to its accelerated aging. It is important to understand that not only an unhealthy lifestyle, but also various deficiencies affect the appearance, and it is extremely unwise to ignore this," the specialist warned in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

The doctor drew attention to the fashionable food systems. According to her, intermittent fasting can negatively affect health and appearance. Many people perceive it as a way to lose weight, but this often happens due to the loss of muscle mass, especially in women after 40 years, when estrogen levels begin to decrease, Vasilyeva added.

"A decrease in muscle mass at this age is a disaster for appearance, because muscles play an important role in maintaining the shape and elasticity of the skin. In such cases, it is important not only to monitor the diet, but also to pay attention to strength training, which helps strengthen muscles," explained the dermatovenerologist.

The specialist emphasized that proper nutrition implies a regular intake of protein throughout the day, and not at the same time. His exclusion from the diet, lack of physical activity, and estrogen deficiency after the age of 40 lead to serious problems not only with appearance, but also with general health, she concluded.
