5. Sugars
To slow down skin aging, it's best to limit foods high in sugar. Sugars attach to collagen, which negatively impacts your skin. It's advisable to avoid foods with a high glycemic index as much as possible. What does 'high glycemic index' mean? These foods contain sugars that are rapidly absorbed and processed by your body, causing blood sugar spikes. In contrast, low glycemic foods contain slower-digesting sugars. High glycemic foods can also raise insulin levels, leading to inflammation. The skin responds by developing fine lines.
