Cut down on sugar and salt
A healthy, youthful body needs healthy nutrients—and to avoid unhealthy ones. ‘Added sugars and excessive salt intake can increase inflammation in the body, which can accelerate the aging process,’ Palinski-Wade says. ‘Inflammation produces enzymes that break down collagen in the skin. The end result is accelerated wrinkling and sagging of the skin, leading to an aged appearance.’ One study found people with a high blood sugar level were perceived to be older; another found salt increased cell aging in overweight people.
