Seven foods that make you age faster

While ageing is an inevitable aspect of life, some foods can speed it up, making you look older than your actual age. Here are seven foods you should avoid to prevent premature ageing. 

1. Sugary foods: Sugary foods can cause a spike in blood sugar levels, which damages collagen and elastin in your skin, which ultimately leads to premature wrinkles. 

2. Salty foods: Consuming too much of salty foods leads your body to retain water, causing puffiness around the eyes. 

3. Coffee: Drinking coffee in excessive amounts can cause dehydration, making the skin look dull and wrinkled. 

4. Processed food: Processed foods are loaded with trans fat, which can damage the collagen, making you appear older. 

5. Spicy foods: While spicy foods are great in taste, they can lead to skin conditions like Rosacea, making your skin look dull and worn out over time. 

6. Processed meat: Processed meat contains preservatives, which affect the collagen production of your skin. 

7. Alcohol: Alcohol causes dehydration in the body, which weakens your skin health, making it appear less youthful.
