Healthy eating expert Bob A listed foods that can accelerate the aging process.
So, carbohydrates with a high glycemic index can cause aging. That is, these are foods that dramatically increase sugar levels. The thing is that the process of breaking down sugar by the human body damages collagen - a protein that keeps the skin smooth and elastic.
Excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to premature wrinkles. In principle, it is enough to look at alcohol lovers and everything will immediately become clear.
Another such product is agave, which is often used as a "natural" alternative to sugar in fruit smoothies or to sweeten oatmeal. However, the large amount of fructose found in agave also damages collagen in the skin, which affects beauty and youth, and fructose is converted to fat in the liver.
Everyone has heard that fast food is harmful. Cause: Trans fats, which clog blood vessels and arteries, making the skin look older.
Anything that can be called "salty meat" has a negative impact on the beauty and health of the skin. This is bacon, and pepperoni, and sausages. These products contain preservatives that cause skin inflammation and high amounts of salt, which can cause redness and puffiness of the skin.
