- Your skin wrinkles prematurely
A high-sugar diet has been shown to accelerate skin aging. This is because too much dietary sugar can react with proteins in the blood and form advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which destroy the structural proteins in skin collagen and elastin, impairing skin’s suppleness and elasticity. This makes your skin wrinkle faster and makes you look older. Restricting sugar intake can lead to significant improvements.
