Eating foods rich in antioxidants like berries, nuts, and leafy greens might help keep your skin looking younger by protecting the proteins that make it firm and bouncy, and by reducing damage from everyday environmental stress.
Eating too much sugar and white bread can cause gummy sticky stuff to form in your skin, which makes your collagen and elastin fibers stick together—leading to stiff, wrinkly skin that doesn’t bounce back like it used to.
Eating lots of fruits, veggies, and other plant foods rich in antioxidants can help protect your skin from sun damage and keep it looking younger longer by fighting off harmful molecules caused by sunlight.
Eating too much sugar and fatty junk food can make your skin age faster because these foods trigger chemical reactions that damage skin cells and make them lose their bounce and glow.
