Dear ,
Eating sugar – in any form – boosts blood sugar levels and triggers damaging inflammation at the cellular level.
This inflammation can damage your health and accelerate aging... so by reducing your sugar intake your are actually helping to reduce wrinkles.
In fact, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D. and author of The Perricone Prescription, believes that about 50% of skin aging is due to the glycation process – when sugar attaches or cross-links to collagen cells in response to a spike in blood sugar.
Besides damaging collagen, sugar also affects what type of collagen you have. The most abundant collagens in the skin are type I, II and III. And of these, type III is the most stable and long lasting. But glycation transforms type III collagen into the more-fragile type I, leaving you with skin that’s less supple and more wrinkle-prone.
SIX DIET TIPS TO FIGHT WRINKLES
To keep wrinkles at bay (and reduce your risk of chronic diseases, to boot) here’s what you can do:
- Stick to a Low Glycemic Diet: We make this easy for you as a reader of Healing Gourmet, since all of our recipes and menus are low glycemic to help disease and wrinkle-proof your life.
- Sweeten Safely: Use organic erythritol and stevia to satisfy your sweet tooth.
- Indulge Wisely: When the craving strikes, satisfy with a dessert that contains no more than 8 grams of sugar.
- Boost Your Antioxidants: Help fight free radical damage with an antioxidant arsenal – vitamins A, C and E plus carotenoids like astaxanthin, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and others found in fresh, whole foods.
- Get Your Bs’ for Beautiful Skin: Vitamin B1 and vitamin B6 have recently been found to act as potent inhibitors of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Aim for 1 mg per day of each.
- Plump Up with Protein: Collagen is a “beauty protein”. Feed your face the amino acids it needs with high quality organic protein – like omega-3 eggs, wild salmon, grass-fed beef and rBGH-free whey protein. You might even want to consider a collagen supplement.
If you've noticed your neck drooping, dry hair, or maybe your nails are getting brittle, these are WARNING signs of collagen-deficiency. And it’s going to get worse if you don’t do something about it.
While On The Topic Of Collagen...
Believe it or not, collagen deficiency strikes nearly everyone over the age of 30. Because after 30, you start losing 1% of collagen per year.
And that’s no good because the fact is, collagen is the glue that holds your body together. Without it your body literally starts falling apart. So if you have the signs mentioned above, it's time to act, now, not later.
A lot of people turn to expensive collagen powders for help. Only problem? They're pretty useless... for a reason…
Because they are INCOMPLETE. They are missing 4 of the 5 MOST important types of collagen. These 5 "super collagens" work TOGETHER to support glowing skin, gorgeous hair and strong, healthy nails.
Fortunately, there IS one collagen powder that is truly complete. And works. It has ALL 5 "super collagens". Plus, it's loaded with a special vitamin that fully activates the collagen inside your body.
