hey Dr Burg here we’re going to talk about what’s really behind liver spots okay um they’re also called Aging spots or solar lentigo it’s not really the liver now if the liver is bad or dysfunctional yes it can create all sorts of problems with the skin but if you have actual liver spots um it’s coming from a vitamin C deficiency okay vitamin C protects the skin from the Sun okay it’s called photo damage or damage from the Sun or light so vitamin C protects the skin from the Sun the skin is um collagen the epidermis is all collagen and vitamin C is highly involved in the formation of collagen and if you look at some of the natural creams out there they have serums for the skin to get rid of Aging spots what are they they’re vitamin C based they they work from the external though you really got to work on the inside out like consume the foods high in vitamin C not necessarily just put on the surface of skin cuz it’s going to come back the next time you go in the Sun so as you age and you have the accumulation of sun and you actually have a vitamin C deficiency the combination of that gives you these little brown spots so why why are you vitamin C deficient as time goes on it’s either two reasons number one you’re you’re not consuming enough vitamin C and I’m not talking about taking vitamin C as a supplement most vitamin C supplements are synthetic they’re made from ascorbic acid and they’re made artificially from cornstarch and sulfuric acid so especially if it’s over like 100 milligrams we know it’s synthetic okay it’s artificial it’s not going to fix it vitamin C in nature is a complex of a whole bunch of different parts um and so you want to get it from the food or a concentrated food so vegetables collig greens cabbage bell pepper chili pepper parsley all those are very high in vitamin C large salads high in vitamin C pasteurization when they cook uh vegetables if you heat them you destroy the vitamin C so like orange juice for example has like not a lot of vitamin C because it’s pasteurized so so that’s one thing all right now number two the probably the more likely reason why you’re deficient vitamin C is not necessarily that you’re not getting enough vitamin C it’s because of a condition called insulin resistance this is in a lot of other videos I have um but insulin resistance is a condition where your cells are blocking insulin because of too too many carbs okay and then what happens or too many frequent meals what happens it sends a signal back to the pancreas and it tells the body to make more insulin so insulin resistance is a state where you’re producing a large quantity of insulin which then depletes vitamin C okay in the presence of too much insulin you’re not going to be able to absorb or use vitamin C in the quantities you want so you go out in the sun you get this AG ing spots liver spots of course not the liver and that’s what’s causing it so if you want to correct it don’t use the external serums fix it from within and correct the insulin resistance and consume enough vitamin C I’ll put some links down below how to do that but that’s really what’s behind liver spots thanks for watching hey you probably already subscribed but if you haven’t press this little button down below and I will keep you updated
