Collagen Biosynthesis is needed to maintain plump glowing skin
Low calorie / fasting diets decrease collagen biosynthesis and prolidase activity resulting in aged
unhealthy looking skin.
Prolidase is an enzyme involved in collagen metabolism
Collagen Biosynthesis best described here http://bit.ly/1a3x9P

Inflammation in regards to skin commonly has two types:
Acute - the first response of blood to a wound considered a
protective reaction
... without it healing will not happen
Chronic - prolonged reaction resulting in destruction and healing of tissue simultaneously
... unchecked can lead to disease http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
