8 Diet and Exercise Mistakes That Age You
Eating too much sugar certainly isn't wise for your waistline, but did you know
that overindulging in dessert can add years to your face? And even if you do
strenuous cardio workouts each week, you'll be missing out on potential
anti-aging body benefits if your schedule doesn't include yoga, weight
training, and rest.
"Good nutrition is a fundamental building block of healthy skin,"
explains Leslie Baumann, MD, a Miami Beach dermatologist. The natural
ingredients in whole foods such as romaine lettuce and strawberries help
increase cell turnover, and boost production of collagen fibers to help keep
skin smooth and firm. Conversely, foods with little-to-no nutritional benefits,
like sugar-packed doughnuts, can actually damage the collagen and elastin that
keep skin firm and youthful. These aging effects start at about age 35 and
increase rapidly after that, according to a study published in the British
Journal of Dermatology.
