And then the third one is when you have a true turkey neck, which is what you described for me, there's different things to treat that for. And what we don't ever wanna do, especially for me as a plastic surgeon, is to give people false hope that, oh, you know, if you are 75 and you got loose skin hanging from your neck, oh, just eat this food and that skin's gonna magically tighten up.

You know, physically, that's just not possible, but there are definitely things to do. And so what I would start with is the younger age group. Let's say you're in your 30s, you're in your 40s. Overall, the neck skin is still nice and tight. You don't have that turkey neck. What can you do to help prevent that from happening? Well, it's going to be looking at the reason why our skin ages.

And five things is what I typically focus on is nutrient depletion. collagen degradation, oxidation or free radicals, chronic inflammation, and a buildup of cellular waste. And so one of the things you can do, and we talked about this on the last podcast, is eating a diet that is going to basically counteract those signs of aging.

And so when you're talking about loss of collagen, it's going to be eating collagen or protein-rich foods, maybe taking a collagen supplement. When you're talking about oxidation or free radicals, it's going to be eating the rainbow of fruits and vegetables.

And when you're talking about chronic inflammation, it's going to be reducing the amount of sugar that you eat, increasing the amount of healthy fats, probiotic-rich foods, prebiotic-rich foods. All of those are going to help when you're in those 30s and 40s to help prevent that skin from getting loose as you get older.

I do think it's multifactorial. You know, I think that one big part of it is the standard American diet that so many Americans are eating. And so it's a diet that is pro-inflammatory. It's a diet that is sterile. It doesn't contain any types of probiotics. It has very little fiber. So you have very little prebiotics in the diet.

You know, not a whole lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, so you're not getting those antioxidants. And so those are the reasons why I think diet-wise that could contribute to it. I do think genetics is a part of it. Studies have shown that genetics, however, is only about 20%. of the aging process.
