Reduce Sugar Intake if you dont want to be wrinkled faster.

You must have heard that consuming too much sugar will result in weight gain. But experts and researchers found that consuming sugar can cause wrinkles and dull skin.

That said, the natural processes that cause this condition is a process called glycation. It is a condition when blood flow bound to proteins to create molecules called advanced glycation dangerous and end products (AGEs). The more sugar you / create, the more your body to create AGEs.

"The more AGEs accumulate, they will damage the protein required by a domino effect,"explains Fredric Brandt, MD, dermatologist and author of 10 Minutes 10 Years. The most susceptible to damage due to this process is collagen and elastin, protein fibers that keep skin firm and elastic. In fact, collagen is the most prevalent protein for the body. Once damaged, collagen and elastin which should be chewy will become dry and damaged, creating wrinkles and flabby skin. These aging effects start around age 35 years, and increased very rapidly as you age. This was reported by the British Journal of Dermatology.

Besides damaging collagen, excessive sugar consumption will also affect collagen type what you have. Most of the skin are collagen type I, II, and III. Type III is the most stable and durable. Glycation will change the type III to type I, which is the type most susceptible. When this happens, the skin will feel soft, no longer chewy. In addition again, AGEs deactivate the body's natural antioxidant enzymes, making your skin more prone to be damaged when exposed to sun exposure, which is the main cause of skin aging.

So, try to reduce intake of sugar if you do not want your skin look older faster.
