Certain foods will make your face
look much younger or older common skin problems are usually a result of poor
diet according to Nima Talib a naturopathic doctor and skin specialist she's
also the author of reverse the signs of aging the revolutionary inside-out plan
- glowing youthful skin.
Your diet has products that change
your face so it's important to eat foods that change it in a positive way so if
you're thinking of eating a cookie or drinking another glass of wine you might
want to think about what it could do to your looks.
According to Talib there are certain
foods that can change your face.
1. Wine
One of the drinks that impact our face is wine.
It causes redness between the eyes enlarges
your pores gives you droopy eyelids and flushes your cheeks and nose.
It causes this because alcohol
dehydrates your skin.
This can happen with high
consumptions of any alcohol as well the body metabolizes alcohol from an enzyme
in the liver.
This releases a byproduct which is
called acetaldehyde which is extremely toxic to your body tissues.
When this occurs our skin and body
tissues become dehydrated.
This can cause premature aging in
our skin which causes wrinkles.
Dry skin can also lead to breakouts
which may be why you start to develop pimples or zits after a night of drinking.
Alcohol also dilates the pores in
our skin which can lead to whiteheads and blackheads which can lead to inflamed
skin foul poles and acne.
Alcohol also causes our body tissues
to inflame this is because it causes our body to release histamine.
This causes our skin to turn red and
if someone excessively drinks over a period of multiple years this redness of
the skin can actually become permanent.
What’s more is that the alcohol
actually hydrates us and impairs our sleep this can affect the body's
regenerative cycle which our bodies go into while we're sleeping.
This can lead to a dull complexion
to fix these issues talib recommends following the 80/20 rule refrain from
drinking wine 80 percent of the time and only indulge 20 percent of the time.

from your diet is the easiest fix she adds that even cutting your intake in
half will provide rapid improvements to your complexion substituting processed
sugar with natural sources like fruits honey and dates will help us well.
Sugar can make conditions like acne
and rosacea much worse.

index foods can trigger acne and skin says dermatologist Rachel Naza Ryan.
The process is likely through the
trigger in the insulin levels following an intake of sugar which may increase
activity in oil glands leading to pimple formation she says.
Foods which are high in sugar can
also cause insulin resistance which is known to cause aging spots as well as
excess hair growth foods which are high in sugar also cause inflammation.
This results in enzyme production which can lead to the breakdown of elastin and collagen.
Elastin and collagen are what keep your skin looking young and firm this is because they are what attaches the skin to the muscles which are in your face.
It is a well-known fact that too much sugar can lead to premature aging.
