Sugar is making you age faster 💥

Not to be dramatic, but the truth is that sugar spikes cause a biochemical process called glycation…and the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

Turns out that AGEs play a big role in skin aging.

They accumulate in the skin, compromise collagen, and contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin 😩

Sure, glycation is a natural process that increases with age anyway, but diets that are high in sugar or refined carbs without a balance of healthy fats, fiber, and protein accelerate the process.

Is slowing down the aging process a motivating factor for you?
