How Wrong Food Can Speed Up Ageing
You are what you eat — the saying stands true considering how our outer appearance is, indeed, a reflection of what goes into our body. Good nutrition is linked to healthy skin. That’s why nutritionists emphasize the importance of getting the recommended nutrients, vitamins, and minerals for improved skin and extended longevity. Food like sugars, unhealthy fats, excessive salt, alcohol, and caffeine can impact our bodies the most. Being mindful of our overall diet can help with how our body protects and heals the skin.
Ageing does not only consist of the wrinkles on our face but also factors like how well our joints and organs function. With every food we eat on a daily basis, biochemical reactions occur in our bodies. Some foods age us faster, while other foods help to fight ageing. For instance, foods high in trans fats cause inflammation, and ageing is basically a chronic inflammatory state. Therefore, our eating behaviors, food choices and nutrition have a great impact on ageing.
Some common foods that can speed up ageing include:
- Junk food – Food like French fries, burgers and pizzas are unhealthy and offer little-to-no nutritional value. When food is deep fried in oil at high temperatures, it releases free radicals affecting the DNA and the elasticity of the skin. Additionally, excessive salt in fried food can deprive the skin of water, leading to dehydration and ultimately to wrinkles.
- Aerated drinks – Aerated drinks are high in caffeine and sugar and can interfere with our sleeping patterns. Poor sleeping pattern is directly linked to several signs of ageing, like fine lines and dark circles. These drinks are not only bad for health but also cause tooth decay, which can make us appear older than we are.
- Alcohol – Besides depletion of nutrients and vitamins in the body, alcohol can also lead to loss of collagen, wrinkles and puffiness. It also lowers the levels of vitamin A, which plays an important role in the production of collagen and generation of new cells.
While one may not be able to entirely avoid these foods, limiting their intake will be beneficial.
