Medical Video: These 8 Healthy Foods are Making You Fat!
Caring for the skin is certainly not just just coming to a dermatologist and diligently using care creams. Some of your bad habits can actually cause you to grow old, you know! One of them is eating bad food constantly which can accelerate the process of aging of the skin and teeth over time. You don't want this to happen right?
Foods that make you old fast: from sweets, spicy foods to meat
According to Ariel Ostad, a doctor from the American Academy of Dermatology, what you eat can affect your skin for better or worse. If you want to continue to stay young and do not want to be old quickly, it helps you to know the following 12 foods that should be limited so that you do not get old.
1. Sweet food
Excess sugar can begin the process of replication. The theory is, when you eat more sugar than the ability to process cells, excessive sugar molecules combine with proteins, creating advanced glycation end products (which is abbreviated as AGES).
In the end AGES can damage a person's skin collagen. Collagen is a protein that can make skin tight and youthful. Too many sweet things are also bad for your smile. Sugar sticks to the teeth, encourages bacteria, decay and discoloration. If you eat sweets, gargle to get rid of any buildup.
2. Alcohol
Healthy liver organs reflect healthy skin. According to Ariel Ostad, when the liver functions properly, poisons that have the potential to affect the skin will be released naturally through the body. However, when toxins spread inside the liver and are not broken properly, the skin will experience various problems, such as zits, faded colors, and wrinkles.
Alcoholic beverages can also trigger a rosacea outbreak. Alcohol can make dehydration and bad for sleep quality, which is associated with aging in a study conducted by Case Western Rerserve University. Sleep deprivation also makes wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and reduces skin elasticity.
3. White wine
White wine has a different category because it can damage the teeth. The acids contained in white wine damage the enamel and make teeth more susceptible to long-lasting stains. So if you are used to ending the day with a glass of white wine, your teeth will be more vulnerable to coffee stains the next morning.
According to Mauren McAndrew, clinical professor from New York University School of Dentistry brush teeth immediately after drinking (applies to every sour drink). You must give your teeth time to remineralize after 'bathing' sour drinks. After drinking, you can wait for one hour before brushing your teeth.
4. Charred meat
Black charcoal in your burger may contain pro-inflammatory hydrocarbons. These substances cause problems especially for the skin because they can damage skin collagen. However, don't delete the barbeque menu as a favorite food. At least make sure you scrape the black charcoal, and clean the grill afterwards so that it doesn't pollute the next meal.
5. Salty food
Maybe you don't cook with salt, but that doesn't guarantee your salt intake is low. According to Ranella Hirsch, MD, former president of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology & Aesthetic Surgery, who is also a dermatologist in Massachusetts, many canned foods are preserved with sodium, which keeps the water on hold and causes your cheeks to become 'swollen'. To overcome this, you can use a moisturizer that contains caffeine.
6. Spicy food
Spicy foods not only can aggravate rosacea skin (skin redness on the face), but also cause damage during menopause. Spicy food is believed to make blood vessels in the skin become more reactive.
Don't worry if you want to enjoy spicy food occasionally. However, if you eat too much spicy food can cause a widening of the veins, swelling and permanent redness.
7. Energy drinks
Energy drinks might make your enthusiasm increase, just like a child. However, these drinks are not good for your teeth. In fact, teeth that are exposed to energy drinks damage more enamel than sports drinks, according to General Dentistry research. Energy drinks are also known to have a higher acid content. You must remember that the acidity of your teeth is more prone to stains.
8. Caffeinated drinks
Caffeine, like other diuretics, causes you to drain fluids, and drains your body from moisture, including the skin. Any dehydration can dry the skin, making your skin look dull and old.
If you are a fan of coffee, using moisturizers from the hands down is the easiest way to keep you young. Try a moisturizer with hyaluranic acid, a super moisturizing ingredient that holds a thousand times its weight in water.
9. Trans fat
Trans fat is not only a cause of heart disease, but also bad for the skin. Trans fat increases inflammation, which means bad for one's collagen. Plus, unhealthy fat makes a person more susceptible to damage to ultraviolet light, which is the number one cause of aging.
Don't be fooled by a label that says '0 gram trans fat', because it still contains under 0.5 grams of artificial fat. Also avoid partial hydrogenated oil products on food ingredients labels.
