1. Sugar

You’re probably already aware that a diet high in sugar can cause weight gain, obesity, and diabetes, but did you also know that it can make you look a lot older than you are? This is because sugar encourages a process of caramelization of the body tissue called glycation, which causes wrinkling and sagging of the skin, as well as making you feel a lot older as well.

Furthermore collagen and elastin, the elements responsible for maintaining healthy and youthful skin also face problems from sugar, which keeps them from doing their job properly. So, it’s time to take a good look at your diet; reduce your sugar consumption, and stay away from it whenever possible!
