Food related causes of premature aging of human face

1. A diet low in protein and rich in simple carbohydrates

A diet rich in simple sugars and sweets causes the connective tissue in the skin to become rigid and lose its elasticity. On the other hand, complete protein is important to the production of protein structures in the skin that are vital to the appearance of fresh skin on the face, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin fibers.

2. A diet low in fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are the main source of antioxidants in our daily nutrition. Sun exposure, smoking, chronic diseases and air pollution expose us to accelerated oxidation damages in our body. Soluble dietary antioxidants such as lycopene, lutein, beta-carotene and other antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables reach the deeper skin layers (the dermis) and partially neutralize the oxidative damage associated with prolonged exposure to the sun. Also fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C are essential to the proper production of collagen.
