Sugar Isn't Helping Your Skin

We all know what sugar can do to your waistline, but do you know that sugar can have an impact on your skin too? A 2011 study funded by Unilever found a connection between blood sugar levels and healthy, youthful skin. Simply put, our bodies breakdown carbohydrates into glucose, regardless if you eat a piece of fruit or a piece of cake, these foods raise the insulin levels.which triggers what's known as an inflammatory response. Inflammation produces enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles. Digested sugar permanently attaches to the collagen in your skin through a process known as glycation. If that weren't enough, inflammation increases the effects of aging,and can also exacerbate skin conditions like acne and rosacea.
So, If you want to avoid wrinkles, breakouts, and bad skin, cut the sugar, and you might just cut years off your appearance.
