Do you just love sugar? If your answer is yes, do you know that your love for sugar could be causing your skin to wrinkle and become saggy before its time? Glycation is what happens when sugar goes into your bloodstream, combine with proteins and then form “Advanced Glycation End Products” also commonly known as AGE’s. AGE’s are bad for your skin.   They ruin the skin by damaging the skin’s elastin collagen fibers that keep your skin supple and strong.

Though scientists refuse to totally admit that sugar leads to premature wrinkles, doctors know from observing patients with badly managed diabetes how uncontrollable blood sugar affects the skin – and this is far from being pretty. Frankly speaking, it causes the skin to age!

Well, this should be some additional inspiration to snub the cookies, cakes and sugar-packed beverages and fill up your plate with wrinkle fighting foods. There is a lot of scientific evidence that proves that certain nutrients can help nourish the fibers that keeps the skin healthy and elastic.

Here are some tips to help you eat more wrinkle fighting foods:

• Cover Half Of Your Plate (50%) With Vegetables And Fruits

Plants contain antioxidants, minerals, phytochemicals and vitamins which act like your body’s dietary highway patrol officers that pull over free radicals before they get the chance to damage your skin’s elastin and collagen. Eating lots of fruits will mean that you will get a lot of vitamin C into your system which is great for producing new collagen.

• Top your Veggies and Fruits with Seeds, Nuts or Drizzle with Olive Oil for That Added Crunch or Flavor

Seeds and nuts are packed with vitamin E, a potent antioxidant. Because sunlight is known to deplete the skin’s vitamin E, you will need to keep replenishing your supply, the more you get your dose of vitamin E from the food you eat (not supplements) the better. The healthy fats contained in olive oil helps the skin fight wrinkle causing sunlight damage.

• Lean Protein Should Make up 25 Percent of your food Plate

Fish, beans, skinless white meat (poultry), tofu, lentils and chickpeas – all these foods provide your body with good proteins which your body requires in order to produce new skin cells and stop the skin from aging prematurely.

• 100 percent Whole Grains Should Make up the Last 25 Percent of Your Plate

Wild or brown rice, whole wheat pasta, breads made from 100 percent whole grains and barley and much more. Your skin craves for the kind of complex carbohydrates present in whole grains in order to help your body with its anti-aging repairs.

With the right food, you do not need to think of getting plastic surgery to keep the wrinkles at bay. Your skin will look absolutely stunning and you will be so excited to show it off in a nice revealing outfit such as a halter neck or a pair of shorts and tank top – what is the point of having gorgeous skin and keeping it hidden?!
