Which Foods Like Wrinkles?

Even the most useful food can become a problem if we overdo it. For example, the rich in antioxidant red fruits (strawberries, cherries), which the body loves so much, can cause rashes, irritation and unpleasant itching.

So the balance for the skin is key - both in terms of care with different products, and when we talk about the food we eat every day. It is known that some products have a bad effect on the condition of the epidermis, regardless of the amounts ingested. Combined with other harmful external factors, they can cause acne, irritation and even worsen small wrinkles that have already appeared.

Sugar

Sugar, especially refined and in large quantities, is harmful to the whole body. But it also causes significant damage to the skin. If we ingest a lot of sugar every day, the body will not be able to absorb B vitamins, which are deservedly called beauty vitamins. They are useful not only for the skin, nails, hair, but also for the stable functioning of the nervous system.

Pastries also interfere with the absorption of calcium and magnesium. And their absence is associated with nervousness and chronic fatigue. Last but not least, sugar in large quantities destroys collagen - the protein responsible for the elasticity and appearance of the skin.

Milk

Disputes about the benefits and dangers of milk and dairy products do not subside. On the one hand, milk contains a lot of calcium, which is necessary for bones and good heart function, but on the other - not all people are able to absorb lactose - milk sugars. 

Milk contains a large number of different hormones, often anabolic, such as those used in supplements by fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders for muscle growth. Lactose also stimulates insulin synthesis and this hormone enhances the effect of steroids on the skin.

This is why consuming milk can cause acne on the face. Milk promotes the process of increased sebum formation, which clogs the pores and forms acne. So here the balance is extremely important.

Left

A large amount of salty food affects the condition of the skin, especially the skin around the eyes. Salt contributes to the formation of swelling and bags under the eyes, in addition it slows down the absorption of nutrients and vitamins.

Therefore, we should try to follow the recommended 5 grams of salt per day.

Alcohol

Alcohol causes severe skin dehydration. And this leads to dryness, thinning and the appearance of wrinkles. In addition, alcohol removes the necessary vitamin A from the skin and interferes with the absorption of B vitamins, calcium and magnesium.

Bakery products

White flour contains gluten, which is not recommended for people with sensitive skin. This plant protein damages the lining of the small intestine, causing inflammation, digestive disorders and more difficult absorption of nutrients.

Gluten is found in wheat, rye, oats and barley and sometimes leads to rashes, irritation and dehydration of delicate skin.

Cafe

Another product that promotes skin dehydration. Coffee contains the hormone cortisol, which stimulates the sebaceous glands and can cause inflammation such as acne. In addition, under the influence of large amounts of coffee, the skin ages faster as it reduces collagen production.

Fat

Not all fats are equally beneficial or harmful. Fish and vegetable oils contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help moisturize the skin and prevent the formation of wrinkles. But trans fats can cause irritation, swelling, acne and other skin problems. So the consumption of fatty sausages, smoked meats, homogenized oils, etc. is not recommended.
