Beauty-Foods People will go to great lengths to look more beautiful. That's probably an understatement but that quest can be expensive and painful. The key to beautiful skin could very well be in your next meal. We pick … pluck … and apply. But the real beauty secret may not be what you put on your face … but what you don't put in it! Sugar is linked to dull and wrinkled skin. When the sugar in your bloodstream attaches to proteins in your skin, molecules called "AGEs" form. It actually makes the skin move less well. It makes it more brittle and more rigid. The more sugar you eat, the more "AGEs" you develop. One of the most interesting sugars that actually causes a lot of "AGEs" in the skin is high fructose corn syrup and fructose syrup. These syrups sweeten many of the foods you love like yogurt, cereal and cookies. In 1900, we were consuming only about five to eight pounds of sugar a year per person, and now, we eat about 156 to 160 pounds of sugar per year. But don't worry! There are beauty-foods you can eat today to counter-act the damage to your skin. Antioxidants and vitamin-C improve collagen in the skin. Berries are one of our favorites. Besides the fact that they're delicious, berries are loaded with antioxidants, and they’re loaded with vitamin-C. Sulfur-bearing foods like garlic, cabbage and broccoli help support the skin and cell walls. Carrots are awesome because they’re loaded in beta-carotene, and beta-carotene is a phenomenal antioxidant, fantastic for the skin. We’ve also found that vitamin-B(6), which is in avocados and bananas, will help clear up acne. Eating lemons will activate your liver. Healthy liver, healthy body, healthy skin. And healthy skin could mean a happier you! We also need to mention that heating your food quickly at high temperatures produces AGEs, so avoid microwaving or deep frying your food. See this article;
