Getting older is inevitable.
It just takes time, after all.
But you shouldn’t be in a rush to get there any sooner than necessary.
Some simply make you look older.
Others actually physically age your body.
Here’s what to look out for so you might avoid both of those effects.
Put down the cupcake and just walk away!
In small amounts, like a drink a day, alcohol can actually benefit your body.
Any more than that, andyou’re just getting older faster.
Alcohol also lowers the levels of Vitamin A in your body, which is an important antioxidant.
Unfortunately,agave contains tons of fructose.
In fact, it can often have more than high fructose corn syrup.
Not to mention, fructose is broken down as fat in the liver.
Pretty much anything at the drive-thru
Surprise!
Fast food is bad for you.
Now that the shock of that statement has subsided, let’s explain how:trans fats.
Trans fats clog and stiffen the blood vessels and arteries, making your skin look older.
First, they contain sulfites and other preservatives that cause inflammation in the skin.
Second, they contain enormous amounts of salt.
Both of these contribute to red, puffy, unhealthy looking skin, especially throughout your face.
It’s not just looks, either.
So a bottle of soda per day could cut five years off your life.
You won’t see that on any Coke ads.
And on the flip side, lowering salt intake had the opposite effect.
Caffeine in larger doses, like those found in a couple cups of coffee, acts as a diuretic.
It’s especially a problem for every day coffee drinkers.
Like all problems, it only compounds over extended periods.
