Accelerate the Skin Aging Process

Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. They will appear at some time, regardless of your health. Poor eating choices, on the other hand, can worsen wrinkles and accelerate the aging process. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are compounds produced by sugar and protein reactions in the body, they're thought to be important in skin aging.

AGEs are produced when you eat a diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugar, which can cause your skin to age prematurely. Collagen and elastin, which help the skin stretch and maintain its young look, are damaged by AGEs. The skin loses its firmness and begins to sag when collagen and elastin are destroyed. Women who ate more carbohydrates, including added sugars, had more wrinkles than women who ate a high-protein, low-carb diet, according to one research. The researchers came to the conclusion that a reduced carbohydrate diet was linked to a more youthful look of the skin.
