"Skin aging is characterized by a wide range of physiological and structural changes, including wrinkling, dyschromia, and roughness, as well as the reduction of dermal thickness and collagen content. Here, we showed that blood donation increased dermal thickness and collagen content and decreased the number of senescent cells in old mice. Transcriptomic and metabolomic studies revealed blood donation significantly altered aging-related pathways in the skin of old mice. Molecular genes analysis indicated blood donation decreased the expression of genes associated with inflammation such as Fols1, Cox-2, and IL-1β, and increased the expression of collagen-associated genes including TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and Col3a1. The improvement of skin aging by blood donation was associated with the reduction of iron deposits and the increase of TGF-β1 in elderly skin. Our results suggested that appropriate blood donation could promote collagen re-synthesis and improve skin aging"

Verified this was bloodletting and not adding blood from younger mice. It sounds like blood donation might be a mini-miracle when it comes to skin aging increasing collagen and dermal thickness. I wonder if you donated blood every few months or even just twice a year or so would it greatly reduce the aging effect on human skin like it does in mice.

If it’s true I’ll donate I think it’s mainly cause iron is removed from the body reducing hepatoxicity. I may be wrong though but afaik iron accumulates and copper stores decrease as we age . Ancient Rome was big on bloodletting so we’re the medievals so idk

I remember reading many people that got diabetes and other ailments had elevated iron levels many times so I guess it might damage skin also prematurely aging it. I think I will donate blood tomorrow.

probably jewish propaganda to make the goyim donate blood

Study Suggests Withdrawing Blood Reverses Skin Aging

Blood draining increases proteins responsible for skin firmness, decreases inflammation, and reduces senescent (aged) skin cells in mice.

Donating Blood Rejuvenates the Skin​

"To measure blood draining’s effects on the skin, Zhang and colleagues drained 0.1 mL or 0.2 mL of blood from the cheek of mice every two weeks for six weeks and found that it rejuvenated their skin thickness. The outer layer of the skin, the dermis, almost doubled in thickness with 0.2 mL drainage compared to no bloodletting. The fibrous structural collagen thickness, which keeps our skin firm, almost doubled, also. What’s more, the abundance of aged, non-proliferating senescent cells that release inflammatory proteins in cells to trigger inflammation in the skin diminished to about a third of what they were without donating blood. These findings provide strong evidence that bloodletting from mice improves the health of their skin and may confer anti-aging benefits."

yeah iron detox by blood donation is good it reduces oxidation from unbound iron which is bad for the skin most people on a looksmax high meat diet consume way too much zinc and not enough copper and all the other cofactors that regulate iron so giving blood is always a good thing I try to go every 3 months it makes me feel like I'm doing something good lol
