There is little point in expensive creams and anti-aging procedures if you continue to “poison” your body from the inside. How one product not only adds centimeters to the waist, but also rapidly ages the skin, said a nutritionist from the blog “A little over 30” (18+).
Why sugar is the main enemy
The problem isn't just calories that don't provide any benefit. When we eat too much sugar, the risk of obesity increases, teeth and bones deteriorate, and chronic diseases develop. But there is another unpleasant and very unobvious effect – collagen glycationdue to which the face quickly becomes covered with wrinkles.
What happens to the skin when you eat sugar?
Glycation is a dangerous process in which glucose molecules literally stick to proteins, fats and even DNA. As a result, harmful compounds (AGEs) are formed that destroy tissue and accelerate aging.
In other words, sugar envelops collagen and elastin – the same proteins that are responsible for skin elasticity. They become hard and brittle and stop recovering.
The result is sagging, puffiness and early wrinkles. And this is only what concerns the skin, let alone the effect on the entire body.
The good news is that this process can be slowed down by cutting out sweets and eating foods with antioxidants.
What will change if you remove sugar right now?
The expert insists: you shouldn’t prolong the pleasure; it’s better to give up sugar immediately and completely. In just a few days, the skin will become cleaner and fresher, swelling will go away, and the face will become noticeably younger over time. The figure will begin to tighten, lightness and energy will appear, and constant mood swings and the obsessive desire to eat something sweet will gradually disappear.
Important: not everyone can give up sugar, for example, people with hypoglycemia, this is contraindicated. Therefore, be sure to consult a specialist.
