Processed foods and the foods that are high on glycemic index scale not only affects your waistline but creates havoc on ageing skin too.

How does sugar affect our skin?
Glycation: Glycation is nothing but a chemical reaction that occurs when sugar normal range in the bloodstream hikes beyond what our insulin can handle. More glycation, the faster the signs of ageing skin. When you consume sugar, insulin is released to control blood sugar levels. This process promotes the release of stress hormones that cause pimples or acne.
Collagen and elastin damage: The above-mentioned process of glycation affects the two major skin protein collagen and elastin. These proteins are responsible for keeping the skin firm, healthy and youthful. As these two proteins come in contact with the sugar, they become weak or impaired and start showing signs of ageing skin.
Disables naturally present antioxidant enzymes: Antioxidants are imperative as it protects skin from free radical damage and UV rays. Consumption of sugar increases the production of free radicals in the body. This creates oxidative stress and damages skin which contributes to ageing skin. (Why do we need antioxidants)
