It’s common knowledge that stress, the sun, and your genes can cause you
to age before you’re due, but what about your diet? Jumia Food shares
the foods you should avoid if you want to stay looking vibrant and
youthful.
Dairy products
People might age quicker when they eat dairy products. Therefore, it’s
important to take note of adverse reactions and make a change if
necessary. Dairy foods can cause some individuals to get skin reactions,
such as eczema, itchy red and patches on the skin. They can also
exacerbate these skin issues and, often times, when you eliminate dairy
from your diet, the skin improves.

High-fat proteins
A little bit of fat is good for you, but it’s important to enjoy it in
moderation, since it can have a negative impact on your body,
particularly on your skin. After eating a dinner that’s high in sodium,
you’ll likely wake up the next morning looking puffy-faced because
having an overdose of salt causes you to retain water. That’s why it is
recommended that you steer clear of too much salt the evening before or
the morning of a big presentation at work.

Alcohol
To retain its firmness and elasticity, your skin needs proper hydration.
Drinking alcohol can make you sleepy at first, but there’s a rebound
effect later on that can prevent good quality sleep. One or two drinks
are fine, but more than that also puts a strain on the liver, which can
make it difficult for the body to detox.

Sugary drinks
Sugary drinks aren’t only bad for your health, but they also do damage
to your teeth. Having a bad tooth will make you appear older than you
are. There are so many sugar substitutes out there. Hence it is not
difficult to avoid it. You have to be determined.

Red meat
A diet high in red meat can also make you look older than your years.

Overconsumption of saturated fats, especially when they are combined
with high sugar foods, will contribute to inflammation.
