Hello Goodnight,
I found another reason why we should limit our intake of sugar. It leads to WRINKLES!!! According to the article, eating sugary products leads the skin to look dull and life-less all because of the "chemical experiments" that the sugar undergoes with the proteins in our skin.
The article states that the sugar that we ingest binds to proteins found in our bloodstream to form AGE's (advanced glycation end products. The more AGE's that are accumulated, the more damaged proteins you have. The proteins that are affected in the skin are elastin and collagen( I hear about these proteins a lot when it comes to companies selling their anti-aging skin products). It makes the usually "springy and resilient" proteins dry and brittle which leads to wrinkles and sagging skin.
The good news is that the effects start showing around 35, but its best to start developing good eating habits until then.
The article goes on to say that AGE's also deactivate the bodies natural anti-oxidant enzymes. So more wrinkles can occur!! This article even tells you how to avoid the sugars and how to reverse the wrinkles you have already got.
Enjoy your night

We could use this to tell people how to eat healthier.
I know a lot of people who dread getting older and do not want to look their age but younger. I think that is why a lot of make-up companies make a lot of money.
Interesting idea Anaise but it might emotionally effect some people.
ReplyDeleteI am with Wirda, I don't want to scare people. But I would tell them this to get their attention. I feel this is another great reason to cut down on sugar.
