Avoid High Refined Sugar Intake

Reduce high refined sugar intake to preserve skin health and delay aging.

High refined sugar intake accelerates skin aging through glycation, a process where sugars attach to proteins like collagen and elastin, thereby damaging these essential structures. Although exact percentage impacts on collagen and wrinkle formation metrics are not quantified, the deleterious effects of glycation on skin integrity are well-documented.
