 We evaluated the effectiveness of an anti-aging gel containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and cannabidiol (CBD) in preventing and treating skin aging. Skin aging is a complex process influenced by various factors such as UV radiation, air pollution and malnutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the compatibility and efficacy of EPA and CBD in skin anti-aging by in vitro, ex vivo, and clinical evaluations. The results showed that EPA enhanced the protective effects of CBD by reducing the secretion of inflammatory substances associated with photoaging, namely prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and interleukin-8 (IL-8). Histological examination also observed a positive effect of this gel on extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling after UV irradiation. In clinical studies (33 subjects), this gel demonstrated significant improvement in various signs of aging. A reduction in the area and volume of wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and a reduction in the volume of fine wrinkles were confirmed. The...

 The results of a cross-sectional study that examined the frequency of staple foods and the relationship between skipping meals and metabolic syndrome in Korean adults have been published. Previously published papers point out that eating less frequently may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. In this study, we analyzed data from 22,699 adults from the 2016-2020 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey, and investigated the association between staple meal frequency and skipping meals and metabolic syndrome. Men who ate two meals a day were more likely to develop metabolic syndrome than men who ate three meals a day (odds ratio 1.16). Women who ate two meals a day and skipped breakfast were more likely to have elevated fasting blood glucose (odds ratio 1.18) and triglycerides (odds ratio 1.19). On the other hand, women who skipped dinner were less likely to have elevated fasting blood glucose levels (odds ratio 0.74). The researchers said meal frequency and skipped meals may...
