A naturall way to prevent wrinkles is eating Keratin. Keratin help increase the healthy appearance of your hair, skin and nails and strengthens all of them.
The protein that makes up gelatin (Jello) is called "collagen." Collagen is a structural protein found all throughout the bodies of animals. It’s job is to hold important body parts (like skin) in the places where they’re supposed to stay - you may have heard of people using collagen supplements, injections, etc. to make their skin look less wrinkled. When you mix gelatin powder with hot water, a chemical reaction called "hydrolysis" occurs within the collagen molecules, causing them to break apart and form a larger structure called a "colloid" (please read our answer on the structure of Jello to learn more about colloids).
The collagen in gelatin usually comes from the skin and bones of pigs and cattle after they are butchered for meat. You may have heard that gelatin is made from the hooves of horses or cows, but this is not true. The protein that makes up hooves is called "keratin" (the same protein that makes up your fingernails). Although keratin and collagen are both important to maintain the body’s normal structure, you can not make gelatin from keratin.

Its really great secret for To Prevent Wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteWhere would you find Keratin? I mean in real day to day products?
ReplyDeleteBy eating foods like gelatin and keeping hair and nails moist, they can be grown out while still remaining healthy. In general, the thicker the layer of keratin, the healthier the hair or nail is, because the dead cells outside protect the living cells at the core. Keeping the external layer of keratin moisturized will also keep it healthy and prevent cracking and splitting, whether the keratin is forming the hooves of a horse of the skin of a human.
