Berries and nuts are loaded with some of the best anti-oxidants for the body according to researchers who have found that the foods contain some vital minerals and compounds. Hyaluronic acid which is produced naturally by the skin is produced more efficiently with large amounts of intake of root vegetables that stimulates the production of ample amounts of the anti-oxidant and lubricating co-polymer hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the effective lubricant that keeps the bones and cartilage from wearing each other out, keeping them soft and pliable.
The same compound has been found to be an effective all around elsaticizer that makes skin cells more supple allowing it to stay healthy for many years, as was the case of the small Japanese town that first started the craze and interest in the co-polymer. The small town had people who were old yet had perfect skin and were very much different to Western aged people who were in homes and were wrinkled and seemingly older than they should be. The many root crops they ate, along with sticky vegetables gave scientists a clear view into their dietary regimen that seemed to influence their healthy skin giving rise to the interest in the co-polymer.
