a question that you may have is why my skin is getting old so fast we are trying to hold
on to our youth as as hard as possible however we are all going to age we are all going to get
older so we need to embrace that now we do things like uh botox and in the muscle so we don't
frown we are going to put collagen injection on our grooves or wrinkles we want to be pinned up
with plastic surgery we like to put long eyelashes and collagen in our lips to slow down this have
you ever heard of skin glycation there are two parts of aging one is internal and the other
one is external the external is called extrinsic aging premature aging can set in long before it
was expected in other words your biological clock is more advanced than your chronological clock
controllable factors such as stress oh we have so much of that smoking even secondary smoking
diet and sun exposure causing solar elastosis can all play a role in speeding up the extrinsic
aging the other one is called intrinsic internal aging is determined by each person's individual
genetic clock and is affected by the degenerative effects of free radical damage oxidative stress
and the body inability to perfectly repair their damage and one of the factors is glycation

give me comments below love love love to connect with you and if you have not subscribed yet please
consider it click on the notification bell so you're not going to miss any of my educational
tutorials so let's get started glycation is a process which is caused by the presence of excess
glucose in the skin fibers in this process something called advanced glycation end
products and for short is called ages are formed the proteins that are most vulnerable to damage
are those that serves as building blocks in our skin the elastin and the collagen
both of these fibers they keep the firmness and the suppleness these proteins keep the skin
plump and healthy and bouncy and these are all the characteristics of a healthy youthful complexion
ages make your collagen and elastin stiff dry and brittle zapping them of strength and spring
the effects are seen on our complexion in a form of lines sagging and wrinkles this process
begins when we are about 25 30 and gradually it will intensify so while it is a natural process
diets that are high in sugar accelerates glycation causing more ages to form in the skin in addition
to damaging your skin's essential proteins ages deactivates your body's natural antioxidant
enzymes without protection from antioxidants your skin is more vulnerable to free radical damage
caused by the environment now the environment factors are like pollution the blue light you
know your computer the uv rays left to roam and bind to your skin structural protein
these free radical triggers oxidative stress that contributes to premature aging of your skin
how to stop glycation if you follow some of these steps you will notice your skin improving greatly
but it take consistency so number one change your diet and i will explain a little bit more
but adopting an anti-age diet that is rich in antioxidants and vitamins may be the most
important step you take in halting protein glycation and damage of your vascular cells
number two exercise regularly now i'm not mentioning that you have to be in the gym every
day for two hours no but if you're doing anything for uh to stimulate your heart and 30 minutes a
day to brisk walking that will bring blood to your skin and most of all it will balance your hormones
number three stay away from tobacco and you say well maria don't smoke yes also tobacco
smoke because that will cause dehydration of your skin good number four good skin care routine and

number five up your carnosine intake important amino acid now the top food source of carcinogen
are meats such as turkey chicken beef or pork other animal products such as eggs milk and
cheese contain also the canosine but only in trace amounts here are some of the signs of your face
that sugar is a culprit aging your skin so first of all you're going to have like it
starts with a lot of little wrinkles and and some of the wrinkles are normal but when it is like
overly and so they're like crisscrossed throughout your face uh especially on your upper lip and
around this area discoloration so number two hyperpigmentation marks throughout your skin deep
crevices appears especially around your lifelines the skin around your jawline is
sagging number five loss of elasticity six a sudden hormonal acne throughout your face
especially around your mouth area number seven dryness flakiness dehydration all that stuff
i know this is difficult but now that you know how sugar can damage your skin here are some
of the things that you can do to fight so you can look the best you can for your age
so number one you already know cut back on sugar it can be difficult to completely eliminate
sugar from your diet sugars everywhere steer away from those hidden sugars like a barley malt
fruit juice concentration so concentrated fruits those pops uh maple syrup the worst of the bunch
is high fructose and corn syrup so look at the package these type of sugars found in soft drinks
sweetened fruit drinks and many packaged foods like those fast foods produces the most of ages
foods that speed up your body aging process are okay listen to this fries fast foods white bread
white sugar pasta white rice margarine processed meats dairy too much caffeine ice cream alcohol
i know i know so you have to kind of now don't get me wrong i do have some so i do take some in
because i enjoy a little bit of this stuff but you need to kind of curb it especially if you notice
the things are happening now can fasting reverse glycation
or even if you do some intermittent fasting now i think they are very very good things
to implement research shows that fasting and even intermittent fasting is the most effective way to
reverse cell age in your body advanced glycation and and products ages are the major contributors
to cell aging so we do need to look at number one diet number two increase water intake
drinking water doesn't directly impact your skin's hydration but does help your body to carry out
the key functions that support healthy skin more effectively water is essential to the production
of collagen and elastin and keeping your body hydrated and improve its ability to fight
the aging effects of glycation incorporate water water rich foods like cucumber tomatoes watermelon
into your diet to maintain hydration if you are thirsty you are suffering dehydration number three
supplement your diet with vitamins especially vitamin b1 and b6 are aegis inhibitors
vitamin b1 can be found in green peas sesame seeds spinach and has a powerful antioxidant property
that helps in the fight against free radicals vitamin b6 which is essential for skin development
and maintenance can be found in chickpeas beans like pinto beans and sunflower seeds
number four load up on antioxidants antioxidants neutralizes and protects the body from damaging
effects of free radicals these natural curing vitamins and minerals throw a
wrench in the glycation by preventing sugars from attaching onto your beautiful fibers now nrf2
activation supplements internally and externally the link is below so please look into it the nrf2
supplementation so here are some of the anti-aging foods to nourish your body
for a glow that comes from within watercress red bell peppers papaya all the berries especially
blueberries broccoli spinach nuts avocado green tea topically and also internally
number five sleep sleep sleep sleep is one of the best beauty secrets is to get enough sleep while
you're sleeping while we're sleeping your skin goes into overdrive regenerating and repairing any
damage done during the day study shows that lack of sleep contributes to more fine lines wrinkles
uneven skin tone and less elasticity your body does the most work during sleep number six try
a skin detox the benefits of detoxing the skin is that it allows the skin a fresh start so that can
be done with a food with intermittent fasting with good products and a detox stimulates a healthier
environment for the skin and can encourage increased production of collagen and elastin some
of the products that i know that you are going to love and that you are going to see results and i
do have links below one of them is and there are some of them from true science and some is from
eminence now one of the things that you need to do regularly is exfoliation and the one that i truly
love is called the strawberry rhubarb dermafoliant and you put it on and you just leave it on and you
micro stimulates your skin and that you remove all the dead skin by removing the dead skin
you're helping with cell regeneration so that is amazing by using the lotus eminence detox
emulsion and i apply that every night uh another one that is incredible is the rose
hip vitamin c and i think has vitamin e vitamin a and i apply on my face
and i apply and i tap and it's not like tapping like this and actually i tap like this because
what it does is not only stimulate your blood circulation see if i do this you see a little pink
yeah not only that but you're also going to help with osteoporosis of your skull
okay and when you're tapping like this you're gonna stop all over your your scalp and also
your skin bringing the blood to the surface and that really stops glycation a good spf and the
one that eminence has is the red current spf 30. i'd advise not to go any higher
because we do have the uvr and the blue light affecting a lot of problems on your skin and
that will help greatly so all the links are below now the most important one that i love the most
it is the true science nrf2 skincare line and it is amazing i have been using it for over 10 years
and i used to start then developing some age spots because i'm using this true science nrf2
regularly and i use a whole line which is a cleanser and there's a moisturizer
and there's an eye cream there's just a few products it is incredible and that have stopped
and reversed the age spots which i had now i don't wear any foundation i had a big one on this side
and a huge on the side and it's totally gone so it is amazing so if you use these products that
i mentioned and the true science you will see an amazing change and so not only that i also i
encourage facial muscle exercising the tapping incredible now some of the don'ts and i know that
some of you will go against me on this but please hear me if you use anything that is aggressive
from the outside it will cause more damage it will aggravate this glycation situation so
things like laser dermapen microneedling but don't get me wrong i love microneedling
but not for glycation plasma pen all these aggressive peels or these wound healing therapy
will compound and make your the situation and your skin condition worse so by poking on the outside
you're going to aggravate your skin you need to be gentle take care from the inside taking your
diet take control of your diet try to eliminate as much as possible your sugars and take everything
with antioxidants and your nrf2 inside and out i hope that you found this video to be useful
and walk away with simple and easy steps against the formation of skin glycation the good news is
is that it's never too late to prevent the visible signs of aging now that you know how to take care
of your skin because of sugar damage you are in control of your skin until the next time
