Can eating pig skin really improve men's beauty?

Many people have heard that eating more pig skin and chicken skin can help beautify our skin. However, experts point out that this is all influenced by the concept of "like cures like" in traditional Chinese medicine. So, can pig skin really beautify our skin?

Nutrition experts say that eating fish and pork is actually better for beauty; and the reason why stewed pork skin with peanuts makes breasts bigger is not because of the pork skin, but the fat content in the pork skin helps increase the absorption rate of vitamin E in the peanuts.

Some people believe that the collagen in pig skin, chicken skin, and chicken feet is high and can help improve human skin. Some beauty lovers even like to buy oral collagen capsules to take. Nutrition experts say that this is a misunderstanding of nutrition. In fact, the human body cannot absorb protein directly. In other words, even if you take high-purity collagen orally or eat pig skin, when the collagen enters the body, it will be re-decomposed and re-synthesized into new protein under the action of amino acids. Therefore, the collagen eaten into the stomach may be recombined into new protein. "The collagen you bought at a high price may also be synthesized into nails in the end."

Nutrition experts say that fair and rosy skin is nothing more than the result of increased subcutaneous fat that makes the skin tight and hydrated from a nutritional point of view. Therefore, eating fish and pork can also improve beauty. First of all, fish is a complete protein with higher quality, and the chance of being re-decomposed and synthesized into new collagen is higher than that of pork skin and chicken skin, which are incomplete proteins. Intake of some fatty foods can increase the thickness of subcutaneous fat, otherwise the skin with less fat will lack saturation and tenderness. Moreover, speaking of collagen alone, eating more fruits to supplement vitamin C can make it easier for the human body to synthesize collagen.

The famous dish of "braised pork skin with peanuts" for beauty and breast enlargement has some truth to it, but the beauty and breast enlargement effect is the result of the combination of the two. Nutrition experts explain that vitamin E is a very strong antioxidant, which can interrupt the chain reaction of free radicals and protect the stability of cell membranes. It has many uses in beauty, such as removing freckles, locking moisture, and preventing wrinkles. The vitamin E content in peanuts is relatively high, but at the same time, vitamin E is a highly fat-soluble compound. When peanuts and pork skin are stewed together, the fat content in the pork skin helps to increase the absorption rate of vitamin E, achieving a beauty food therapy effect. In addition, the fat in the pork skin can relatively increase the fat in the breasts, so it can achieve breast enlargement and beauty with one stone.
