How Cutting Sugar Keeps You Young and Clear
Eating sugar causes inflammation in the body. Reducing sugar in your diet not only helps your skin but it helps prevent so many other dis-eases, like diabetes and obesity. Sugar causes something called glycation, which causes your body and skin to age more quickly. The sugar binds to your protein and makes it brittle (collagen is made of protein, btw).
Also, when there is too much sugar in your bloodstream, it can lead to insulin resistance and raise your cortisol - aka stress hormone- levels, leading to more oil production and more keratin production, causing breakouts. This relation has led acne to be dubbed as diabetes of the skin. I recommend lowering your sugar intake as much as possible! Quit soda right now.
Go on a low glycemic diet, like opting for brown rice instead of white. I also supplement with Glucose Metabolic Support for extra help to keep my skin clear when I eat carb-y foods. Another downside to sugar is that it feeds candida (yeast) in your body which can ruin your gut health and lead to other health issues. Have you ever tried quitting sugar? How did you body feel?
