Yogurt, yeah, and sauerkraut on brats in the summer, that's it.

Now, I grew up eating kimchi, a lot of kimchi.

We eat a lot of pickled-

vegetables and stuff like that.

So really important to take a daily probiotic at least three billion colony forming units a day is what I usually recommend.

Yeah, that's usually a sign that it's probably good because if it's not, then you got to wonder, is it high quality?

Right.

Because you want to refrigerate them to make sure that they're still alive.

Yeah.

And so then the next supplement that I would recommend typically is an antioxidant supplement.

One of the main reasons why our skin ages prematurely is due to oxidation and free radicals.

Essentially, these are damaging molecules that will damage the DNA of our cells, and these free radicals essentially are neutralized by antioxidants.

That's why people say, hey, eat the rainbow of fruits and vegetables, because the actual color of those fruits and vegetables, the pigment is the actual antioxidant.

By eating various colors of fruits and vegetables, you get a lot of different antioxidants to help fight those free radicals.

Yes.

And what food has the most free radicals?

Ultra processed foods.

And so trying to limit ultra processed foods in the diet is definitely healthy for your skin.

it's more expensive to eat healthy foods than it is to eat foods that are not healthy for you.

Yeah.
