AVOID! Here's a list of the 8 Worst Foods for Your Skin and How They're Aging You!
(1) FRIED FOODS
Fried foods aren’t just an issue for fat intake, but they can cause oil buildup in the body. Fried foods are also believed to possibly trap bacteria in the body and on the skin, causing us to break out more.
(2) WHITE BREADS, PASTA, CAKE, ETC.
When we eat a lot of this kind of food, our body experiences an increase of glucose and insulin levels which results in higher incidences of acne.
Switch to whole grain options, instead, because they’re high in antioxidants and are anti-inflammatory.
(3) SUGAR
It is the most aging food that we consume. Sugar damages collagen and elastin - the two things that keep our skin plump and young. Too much of it will make our skin lackluster, and speed up our body’s production of wrinkles.
Unfortunately, studies have also shown that sugar feeds cancer as well. So in general, we all ought to cut back. When it comes to your skin, too much of it in your body weakens your ability to fight bacteria. Long story short, more bacteria = more toxins = worse skin.
Choose natural sugars (like those found in fruit), instead of that candy bar!
(4) ALCOHOL
Alcohol severely dehydrates us. It affects the skin as the body metabolizes what little water it gets before it has the chance to reach our skin. Alcohol can also cause vasodilatation, which aggravates rosacea, and make our skin look dull.
(5) CAFFEINE
Similar to alcohol, caffeine also severely dehydrates us. Not only does that dry out the skin, but caffeine increases our production of cortisol. More cortisol than necessary accelerates the aging process, hence thinning your skin.
(6) PROCESSED SNACK FOODS
In general, processed foods are bad for our health as well as the skin. The further grains get from their original state, the less they retain their natural goodness. Processed foods are often loaded with sodium and sugar, also, which we know we don’t need more of!
(7) ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS & COLORS
Artificial colors and sweeteners are essentially science experiments that we’re putting into our body! They have no nutritional value, and can irritate our body, especially if we’re sensitive or have allergies.
These artificial products often create inflammation and histamine reactions, and what’s worse, our body tends to store these chemicals in our tissues. It wasn’t made in nature, so our body has no chance of recognizing it.
(8) SALT
Salt, especially iodized (processed with iodine) is terrible for our skin. It causes the tissues to swell, making us look puffy and even a little unhealthy. It can aggravate acne, so it's important to reduce salt intake. Most of the salt we consume doesn't come from a shaker, so check the labels before buying packaged foods and snacks.
