Anti-Aging Tips: How to Look Younger and Stay Healthy

Follow in grandmother's footsteps
Keep your skin looking young by cutting down on your sugar intake. Keep your food simple, wholesome and home-made and eat whole-foods as much as possible.In other words, eat like granny did, because what you eat shows up on your skin, warns Dr Katherine Mulrooney, a cosmetic doctor and dermatology expert."When we eat a diet high in sugar, glycation occurs. This means sugars bind to the protein structures or collagen strands in the skin, making them stiffer, less flexible and more friable. As a result the collagen strands break more easily - they've become elastic."This results in more fine lines and wrinkles and will eventually result in faster ageing of the skin."
