Q: Is Hyaluronic Acid really the way to slow aging and keep our skin youthful? How do we increase it naturally?
A:The short answer is YES! Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a common thread all Super-Agers share. We need three nutrients to use and increase the levels of HA in our bodies. My fun-for-everyone recipe of Roasted Mini Pumpkin with Ice Cream provides two sources of the highly effective HA. Pumpkin flesh and seeds bring all the beauty and youthfulness from the inside out. And all three nutrients for synthesis are present.
