WARNING: If You Continue Eating These Foods You Will Grow Old Faster Than Your Agemates (Details below)

It is true that how we ” look” is determined by what we eat. Some people appear younger than their actual age, while others appear older. Ignorance could make the latter’ s situation worse and critical, he could be tempted to think he is sick or infected with an unknown disease. But if he pays absolute attention to himself, he would discover that his only problem is FOOD. Here are 6 foods that could make you grow older than you should be:

1. Sweets/Sugar:

When people consume more sugar than their cells can synthetize, excess sugar molecules bond with proteins and trigger a process that can affect the skin collagen (the protein that keeps the skin elastic and youthful). Also, sugar damages teeth causing tooth decay and discoloration.

Consequently, sugar is the number one food to avoid if you’ re looking to slow down the ageing process. It not only makes us fat but also makes us wrinkly, as it cross- links with collagen, making our skin less flexible and dehydrating it too.

2 Alcohol :

There are many ways alcohol can put an extra strain on your body. Alcohol causes your body to release more stress hormones, which speeds up the aging process. It also affects the healthy functioning of your digestive system, making it harder for you to absorb essential nutrients.

This includes vitamins A, B, D, and E; minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc; and even basics like proteins and carbohydrates. Alcohol’ s all- around negative effect on nutrition means that heavy drinkers often become malnourished. This limits the body’ s ability to maintain itself, resulting in faster aging. It can cause your skin to develop a variety of issues, like acne, sallowness, and wrinkles.

3. Salty Foods :

Salty foods retain water and cause a ” puffy” look. It is advisable to season with little salt and go for fresh foods, rather than preserved or pre- cooked foods.

4. Red meat :

Fatty meat generates free radicals and the free radicals affect the ability of the skin to protect itself and generate collagen. Eating too much red meat could increase the body’ s ” biological age” and contribute to health problems, new research suggests. Scientists found that a moderate increase in levels of serum phosphate in the body caused by red meat consumption, combined with a poor overall diet, can make a person age.

5. Trans- fats/Hydrogenated fats :

These are the kind of damaged fats you find in foods with a long shelf life, such as biscuits, and in fast foods and deep fried foods. They reduce the fluidity of our cells, burden the liver and add to inflammation. So avoid some groundnut oils, red oil; fried foods.
