Stretch marks are totally embarrassing and is a common problem most individuals are currently struggling with this days, Is there a solution?
[ We would consider this Question in two topics] but lets talk about the kind of foods or Suppliments That Can Prevent It.
You may wish that there was a solution or cure
for stretch marks you already have, but the truth
is, outside of improving the appearance of them a
bit, once you have stretch marks they are
permanent. This means the best thing to do is to
prevent them in the first place! It’s true that
genetics and hormones play a role in whether or
not you get stretch marks (so does epigenetics),
but it’s also true that your lifestyle plays a
significant role in your skin health and stretch
mark development. Eating the way I recommend
here does not guarantee that you won’t get any
stretch marks, but it will improve the integrity and
elasticity of the dermis layer of your skin (where
stretch marks occur). In other words, you may
not end up with stretch-mark-free skin, but I’m
confident that the methods and foods I list here
are known to act in the body in ways that do not
promote stretch marks and can, in fact, prevent
them altogether.
People often get new stretch marks at times in
life when they gain a significant amount of weight
in a short period of time, or during adolescent
growth spurts. It’s best to improve the elasticity
and structure of your skin well in advanced of
your weight gain or growth spurt–more time
equals a higher chance that you’ll avoid stretch
marks!
Here’s what we know.
Stretch marks occur at the dermis layer of skin
(the middle layer), and they happen when the skin
is stretched further than it has the capacity for.
This causes tearing in the tissues, generally
purple or red in color at first, but they may fade
to white or a lighter color over time. It’s not just
stretching that causes stretch marks–it’s
stretching the dermis beyond what it can
withstand. The goal of eating specifically to
prevent stretch marks is to increase the level of
stretching the dermis can withstand.
3 Types of Foods that Prevent Stretch Marks
1. Gelatin – It is often said that the collagen
content in gelatin is directly related to skin
health. The truth is, consuming gelatin is a long-
term fix for skin elasticity. The collagen content
likely does help, but it’s more likely that the
larger preventive effect comes from the overall
nourishment and health effects of gelatin on the
skin. That said, gelatin is purported to improve
skin health overall. I believe it–it’s made of
amino acids, high in glycine, and supportive of
healthy cell metabolism. You can consume gelatin
in its powdered form (either the kind that “gels”
or the kind that dissolves and doesn’t “gel”), or
you can consume it in foods like homemade bone
broths (chicken feet are super high in gelatin–
throw them in your broth!). There’s no specific
amount you “should” eat to get the effects you
want, but gelatin is a very safe food and it has
many other benefits too. Consuming gelatin
everyday is perfectly healthy and reasonable.
Consider at least one tablespoon of the powder
per day or a couple servings of bone broth.
2. Foods high in antioxidants,vitamins C, A, and
E, specifically, are related to the nourishment,
healing, and health of the skin. These foods have
an anti-inflammatory effect and also reduce free
radicals in the body and skin, helping the skin
maintain it’s elasticity and firmness. Vitamin C is
specifically related to collagen formation, and
collagen health is directly related to skin
elasticity! My recommendation is to take note of
the foods high in Vitamin C , Vitamin A , and
Vitamin E, and then incorporate some of them
into your diet everyday. You can also safely
supplement with Vitamin C and E quite easily, and
Vitamin A in the form of fermented cod liver oil .
3. Coconut Oil, Butter, and Olive Oil – Foods
High in Saturated and Monounsaturated Fats
have been shown to improve skin elasticity,
probably because elastic fibers and collagen
require fat to be nourished and healthy. I
recommend using the highest quality sources of
these fats you can find. Consuming at least 3-4
Tablespoons of these fats per day can have
beneficial effects on your skin. Note: many people
will promote using coconut oil as a skin lotion,
and this is good for you, but putting oil on your
skin won’t prevent stretch marks because it does
not penetrate deeply enough to reach and nourish
the dermis. It does feel nice though!
Supplement:
Fish Oil – the omega-3 fatty acid content is not
only nourishing to the skin, but it also helps to
balance out the body’s omega-3 to omega-6
ratio. This leads to an anti-inflammatory effect in
the body, which is supportive of healthier and
more elastic skin. (The standard American diet is
highly inflammatory–full of white flour, sugar,
poor quality fats, etc.). Conceptually, you could
also consume fatty fish a couple times a week in
order to get the positive skin effect, but this
hasn’t been specifically studied.
Overall, you can do quite a bit to prevent stretch
marks. The keys are to be consistent with
incorporating the types of foods listed above, as
well as to reduce the amount of inflammatory
foods in your diet, and manage your stress.
Remember, these foods won’t cure stretch marks,
but they can help you prevent them! The best
part is that they are all highly nutritious and
healthy foods and should be part of your diet for
many reason.
