Daily diet choices may speed up skin aging, warn experts. Avoid high-glycemic foods and burnt items to preserve youth.
Skin aging linked to diet
Certain foods consumed daily may accelerate skin aging, according to Dr. Anthony Youn, a cosmetic surgeon, and nutritionist Alexandra Murcier. They explain which foods to avoid to naturally preserve youth. Diet influences aging
Dr. Youn suggests that eating habits can influence the aging of the skin and body. He states that consuming unhealthy foods can accelerate aging, damage the skin, and reduce life expectancy. Glycation and sugar
Murcier agrees, emphasizing the importance of avoiding pro-oxidative foods such as sugar, which promote premature aging through a harmful chemical reaction called glycation. High glycemic index foods
Murcier recommends avoiding foods with a high glycemic index, such as sodas, candies, and chocolate, which can promote this harmful chemical reaction. According to Dr. Youn, burnt foods and other specific items are also among the six foods that may accelerate aging, as detailed in additional reports.
