Phytoceramides

What is a ceramide?

Ceramides work by locking moisture into your skin. This causes your skin to plump and have a fuller look. This minimizes the appearances of wrinkles.

How do phytoceramides relate to collagen?

Ceramides naturally stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. More collagen makes your skin appear fuller, younger and more plump.

But what is the science behind why phytoceramides work?

Phytoceramides contain lipids that are similar to the natural lipids that are already in our skin. As we age we naturally loose lipids in the skin surface. This causes us to loose elasticity and for the skin to sink and sallow forming wrinkles and crow feet. By taking phytoceramides we are replacing the amount of lipids available in the skin allowing our skin to plump and become fuller.

Nutrition and Supplements Work Together

My friend, Susie, and her husband, Bill, have been married just a few years and have busy lives with work, home and their two small children.  Bill seems to get some problem every few weeks—a virus, a rash, a cold, lack of energy, etc. Susie is really into nutrition and plans to start him on a diet which she believes will make him better.

Hmmm….so I paid attention to the diet. I could use more energy!! It is simple—for 30 days–no sugar and no processed foods. Initially, I thought it sounded simple until I really started thinking about it. Even when I cook at home, I often use prepared foods in my recipes. Could I even use bottled tomato juice or chicken broth from a carton? How about canned soups, bread….I guess a cake mix is out of the question. And then my favorite condiment is ketchup—-full of sugar and processed!!

So even though I am sure we would be more healthy without ANY sugar and ANY processed foods, I am just not sure I could follow that regimen for 30 days—maybe 1 or 2 days.

And this is exactly why UltaLife offers quality supplements for whatever ails you!! The
