Mindsip insights from this episode:
Train twice a week for skin improvement benefits
The study participants who experienced skin improvements from resistance training only exercised twice a week, suggesting high frequency may not be necessary.
Prioritize resistance training for youthful skin thickness
In a study comparing exercise types, resistance training was shown to be superior to aerobic training for improving dermal thickness, a key marker of youthful skin.
Boost resistance training to enhance Biglycan for skin structure
Resistance training uniquely increases the gene for Biglycan, an essential protein that anchors and organizes collagen fibers to give skin its structure.
Lift weights to reduce skin inflammation and enhance skin health
Resistance training appears to improve skin by lowering levels of an inflammatory molecule, CCL28, which is correlated with higher levels of the skin-structuring protein Biglycan.
Combat chronic inflammation to protect skin health
Cell experiments indicate that the inflammatory molecule CCL28 directly suppresses Biglycan, providing a mechanism for how chronic inflammation can degrade skin health.
