Popular foods that can contribute to early skin ageing
Sugar
Sugar accelerates advanced glycation (AGE) and causes collagen degradation, causing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. It can cause hard, shiny skin with visible crevices.
Processed foods
Processed meats, snacks, and microwave meals cause skin issues due to high salt and preservative content.
Fried foods
Deep fried foods and high-temperature oil consumption cause skin issues like acne, blackheads, and breakouts. Switching to coconut oil for better nutritive absorption and radiant skin can help prevent cellular damage.
Aerated beverages
Caffeine, alcohol, and soft drinks can age the skin by dehydrating it, affecting texture and suppleness, and causing wrinkles due to their high glycemic index.
