Yet Another Reason to Cut Sugar Intake
October 9th, 2009
By now you’re probably aware of what too much sugar in your diet can do to your body in relation to its overall well-being. But, have you considered its effects on your skin? A recent post by Prevention magazine cites that “experts now believe that a lifetime of overeating sugar can make skin dull and wrinkled”.
Apparently the root of the wrinkle-forming is a natural process – called glycation – wherein sugar found in the blood attaches to proteins to form Advanced Glycation End products (also called AGEs), which are harmful. More sugar = more AGEs = more damage to collagen and elastin, which are the fibers that keep skin firm and elastic. If these two assets are damaged, they are dry and brittle as opposed to springy and resilient, and wrinkles are formed.
To combat the formation of wrinkles, whether from your diet or other reasons, a product that helps to stimulate the production of collagen is helpful. RSF Anti-Wrinkle Cream contains the highest concentration of peptides, vitamins and oxygenating factors that help stimulate the production of skin forming fibers, collagen and elastin – at the cellular level.
So, while passing on the bon-bons to promote health from the inside-out, stock up on a product that will help that skin from the outside-in – like RSF Anti-Wrinkle Cream.
