One of the major foods that has recently been hyped in the fight against wrinkles is salmon.  This is the fish included in various “great foods” list and high in omega 3 fatty acids or otherwise good fats.  This reduces inflammation and naturally lubricates the skin.  Moisturized skin as long as it is not oily skin really stays young, that is assuming of course that you start early.  If you just do it later on when you are already all wrinkly, it may prevent further wrinkles, but won’t necessarily treat current wrinkle breakouts and problems. 

But another part of it is that salmon is rich in protein.  This is one of the reasons why many people recommend this and chicken over other meats.  It is a lean, mean protein machine that also happens to have the omega 3 fatty acids while others just focus too much on fatty foods.    In short, though we are not saying that salmon contains peptides by any means, peptides are among the basic building blocks of protein.  So you can probably see the connection.  Salmon=protein=stronger and rebuilt skin in some ways. 

It should also be known that salmon is rich in vitamins and minerals that can add to the skin.  As we have found in things like fruits and vegetables, vitamins are extremely essential to the health of the skin and body in general.  You have to have vitamins and minerals, or else your skin will manifest that deficiency in a number of nasty ways.  So remember your vitamins.  And of course remember that salmon is not a catch all.  You need other elements.
