It’s hard to know what we should and shouldn’t be putting in our body. The science seems to flip-flop faster than anyone can keep up with.
When certain foods taste so good, it’s hard to care to do an hour of research before every meal…
That’s why I’ve pinpointed the main 4 culprits that are making you age quicker than you’d like…
Trans Fats
This is marketed to us constantly in the form of fast food.
Affordable and efficient fast food may be, it is a deadly choice for our cells, the very cells we rely upon to keep every area of our body functioning properly.
Trans fat molecules are man-made, meaning they do not blend and work well with our body’s own natural, healthy cells.
Trans fat causes inflammation within the body, actually blocking the growth of these healthy cells.
This differs greatly from what is called “good fat” (such as olive oil) which work side by side with our healthy cells, instead of blocking and obstructing. When your body cannot rejuvenate healthy cells at a normal level, premature aging is the result!
Sucrose/Sugar
Your body is only built to process a certain amount of sugar, which isn’t even close to what most people consume on a daily basis.
Too much sugar in the bloodstream slows down the body’s natural repair mechanisms, causing your skin to lose its elasticity and so it creates wrinkles faster.
I bet no one ever told you that sugar creates wrinkles! This is also the same for any refined carbohydrates. They are processed in your body the same as sugar, creating wrinkles at an alarming rate.
Want to suffocate your liver? Eat a lot of foods with chemical additives and preservatives. Your liver has to work overtime in order to detoxify your body and your liver can only do so much!
Caffeine
People love their caffeine. How many cups of coffee do you drink in the morning, and possibly even the rest of the day?
You are once again adding to premature aging in your body.
Sure, the caffeine will help you get through the workday, but at what expense? So your body can look like 55 at 35?
Caffeine creates a stress hormone in the body known as cortisol. High levels of cortisol wear down muscle tone, leading to saggy skin and is also very dehydrating!
Getting your caffeine from sugary drinks like sodas? Go ahead and combine this with the sugar category. That’s double trouble!
Wheat
Wheat has been touted as healthy, but it is not. In fact, it may be even worse than some of the more obvious foods I have already mentioned.
Wheat contains a carbohydrate called Amylopectin-A, which has been tested and found to spike your blood sugar even higher than pure table sugar!
As if that isn’t enough- it even raises it higher than almost any other carbohydrate source based on blood sugar response testing! How’s that for unhealthy!
Knock anything with these 4 ingredients out of your diet, and you’ll be on your way to looking your age (or younger) in no time!
