Good Lifestyle

I am on an endless quest for healthier appearance skin. Usually, my research involves experimenting expensive lotions and potions (and sometimes lasers); I like trying new products and procedures, which I often have to do as a magazine editor.

But recently, I found a hacking of the skin that can prevent the signs ofagingAnd that does not come in a pot or does not require any recovery time and better of all, it's free.

How do your meals spoil with your face

We all know that what we eat can have an impact on ourvestlines And heart health, but it can be more surprising to learn that it also has a major influence on our skin. And, it turns out that the beauty enemy n ° 1 is more specifically sugar, added sugar. (For the worst delinquents containing added sugars, read this list of the list of100 instantaneous food on the planet.)

When I developed my nutrition program,Free Sugar 3-A only three-week program to crush sugar cravings and consumption, I consulted experts in all areas of well-being, including dermatology.Whitney Bowe, MD, one of the most at the country's dermatologists, said that: "There are many biological reasons to explain the connection, but the one distinguished is the effects that refined carbohydrates have on the point of sugar in The blood, which can in turn can also increase hormones that stimulate oil production. "She then explained that" these hormones can even change the composition of the oil of your skin, which makes it more subject to problems. "

Dr. Bowe saysSugar causes problems It is more than deep skin, triggering "multiple changes in our body, our cell membranes and our arteries to our hormones, immune systems and microbiome GUT". Consuming too much sugar can evenShorten your life.

How to prevent "SAG" sugar

A less reason to avoid sugar is that it triggers askin demolition process called glycation. This science fascinates me: glycation is when sugar molecules are related to protein or grease molecules to create something called "Final glycation products" or ages. (Adjustment, do not you think?) These ages inhibit elasticity in all kinds of body tissues, including your skin. In other words, they can cause premature wrinkles - or what some experts call "SAG SAG".

A factor in the creation of ages is to have too much glucose and fructose (fruit sugar) in your diet. The glycation creates these ages and their effects are exacerbated by the UV rays of the sun - your skin becomes less elastic.

"To see ages in action, just look at someone who ages premature - someone with lots of wrinkles, saggism, discolored skin and a loss of radiation for their age," says Dr. Bowe. "What you see is the physical effect of renegade sugars lock proteins. Scientists can document a parallel in animal research between the amount of sugar they consume and how fast their age of the skin.

The final result: more sugar is equivalent to elderly skin that has lost its elasticity and its flexibility prematurely. On the other hand, the reduction of your added sugars can help improve the tone, elasticity and general appearance of your skin. It can also help youunwanted hangar, unhealthy weights.

Less than 10% of your daily caloric intake should come from added sugars,According to government regulations. And yet, a study of the University of Tufts found that 42% of our daily calories come from poor quality carbohydrates, such as refined grains and added sugars. Not good for our overall skin or health.
