If you're worried about the state of your skin. Number seven, alcohol, you're probably aware that alcohol isn't part of a healthy diet, but did you know what it does to your skin? If you like to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine in the evenings after a hard day's work, then listen to this time bomb skincare expert Boulder says, "ingesting alcohol is one of the worst things you could do for your skin." Unfortunately, after the good vibes, you were having while drinking alcohol fade away, you'll be left with tons of side effects. The first problem that alcohol causes are hormone disruption that leads to acne. Second, it weakens your immune system by destroying very important bacteria in your gut. So after consuming alcohol, you might not only have a hangover, but also a fever because you can easily catch a cold. And the third problem, which happens to be the most common is that alcohol dehydrates your skin and it makes it look and feel puffy. "If you don’t want to be afflicted by the terrible outcomes of alcohol, try and set a spending restriction." Don't drink before you leave the house and pace yourself, but it's much better not to drink at all and to find a different way to relax after a tough day at work.
Number six, rice cakes. You're probably surprised to find out that this supposedly healthy food is actually harmful. Rice cakes can cause wrinkles in your skin and they can even influence your brain function. You see, it's really easy to overeat these tasty treats which can result in weight gain. Another thing is that if you check the nutritional info on the packaging, you'll see that rice cakes consist of a whole lot of nothing and even if you do attempt to discover a healthful component, there will simplest be a tiny quantity of it. And one more problem with Rice cakes is that they can cause blockages and acne by damaging molecules called advanced glycation end products, also known as ages. Now that's a pretty ironic name, don't you think? You definitely won't forget it. But if you really enjoy rice cakes, you should consider choosing ones that contain flaxseed and adding sprouts, Turkey, tomatoes, or any other vegetable to your liking so that you'll get healthy saturated fats, calcium, and iron. So funnily enough, eating only one kind of healthy food is very unhealthy. Well, you know what they say? Variety is the spice of life.
Number five Sushi. Did you know that this delicacy leads to premature aging and causes acne? Well, if not, you do now and unfortunately, it's first of all, these popular Japanese roles contain a large amount of salt and as you know, salt is enemy number one. When it comes to health, eating too much salt dehydrates your skin and such. The radians out of it and dull skin isn't very attractive. Plus salty foods cause your body to retain fluids and your skin cells are no different. So your face will look puffy if you don't watch your salt consumption. And finally sue, she's got plenty of rice and rice is high on the glycemic index. This means that rice can take away moisture and circulation from the epidermis causing dry skin and premature aging. Did you know that if you accidentally drop your phone and some water putting it in a bowl of rice, we'll save it?
Well, the same thing works here, but it's bad for your skin. Julianne Moore ingeniously dubbed this phenomenon Sushi phase. Nice name to call someone you don't like, isn't it? Hey, you get outta here Sushi phase, but if you really love your Sushi and are willing to throw caution to the wind here than there are some things you can do to stay looking healthy and beautiful and not like a Sushi face. Okay, that might be my new favorite phrase. You should drink more water and do facial exercises to help your body distribute the water evenly across your face. Also, we recommend you sleep at an incline so that the fluid won't collect in your face. You can use a cold compress and again, avoid alcohol to prevent puffiness as well.
Number four, dairy products. If you enjoy plenty of dairies and struggle with acne, this tidbit of Info may be helpful. First off, cow milk contains a growth hormone that stimulates your skin's oil glands, thus making your face extra oily. As a result, you become more prone to breakouts. Besides that, there's a lot of low-quality milk out there. Well, milk is being processed, it gets damaged due to ultra pasteurization, evaporation, skimming and so on. I don't want to bore you with the minute details of the dairy industry's methods for processing milk, but the thing is that all of this creates the perfect conditions for acne. And the third fact that might surprise you is that more than 75% of the world's population is lactose intolerant. And this dairy intolerance can lead to the appearance of acne or Eczema. If you or someone you know has to live with Eczema than you're probably well aware of how serious a condition it is.
So anybody who wants to avoid that, maybe think about making major changes to your diet. If you really love milk and can't imagine your life without it, you should switch to goat's milk. Or if you don't like that, buy raw cow milk from a local farm where you can be sure that the cows are fed grass. Also, we recommend opting for 2% milk because more fat means a higher glycemic index, which as you already know, causes dry skin. Yeah, low-fat milk isn't tasty, but you need to make a tough choice. Do you want to have beautiful healthy skin or do you want to drink tasty milk? The choice is yours.
Yeah.
Number three, breakfast bowls of cereal. I can hear the pleas for mercy right now. Whatever you do, don't take away my cereal. It's my livelihood. I'm sorry, but facts are facts. Even seemingly innocent cereals can be very harmful to your skin to start with. There are absolutely no natural ingredients there despite what the box says. Some of the ingredients are genetically modified, which can make your skin itchy, cause allergic reactions and lead to acne breakouts. Also, popular cereals often contain synthetic vitamins that our body can't physically utilize. If you really feel like you can't give up your cereal, choose one that contains less than five grams of sugar per serving. Pay attention to your portion size and eat only as much as the recommended serving size written on the box. Pay attention to the ingredients list, especially the first two to three items listed because there's more of them than anything else on the list.
Number two, processed lumps of meat. One of the reasons you could be seeing swollen skin, especially after eating out might be from consuming processed meats. You can't be sure what's in the meat served at restaurants so you risk eating a piece full of Sodium Ham, bacon and cured meats like Brian to chicken contain a lot of salt and if you remember, salt makes skin puffy. Also, these types of meat contain nitrites, the destroy Collagen and Elastin in your skin. This makes your skin appear more wrinkly than it actually is. Man, puffy and wrinkly. Double whammy. The only way to make processed meats less harmful is to avoid eating them too often or even better. Don't eat them at all. Fresh and natural is always the way to go.
Number one juice. Well, the juice is definitely much healthier than soda, so there's a plus, but as it turns out, the juice is not as innocent as it may seem. First, it contains just as much sugar as cola does and this sugar breaks down the Collagen in your skin and makes it rough. Second juice lacks fiber, which means that what you are drinking isn't providing your skin with the necessary nutrients. The third problem isn't connected with drinking juice, but with using it as an ingredient and face masks, people who love to pamper themselves with these kinds of masks are actually putting themselves at risk of chemical burn. For example, if you go out in the sun, lemon juice can permanently damage your skin. As crazy as it may sound, avoid drinking juice. A good alternative is to blend natural fruits and vegetables into smoothies to make sure that your body gets all of the good vitamins and minerals it needs, but the best way to eat fruits is to eat them raw. You'll get the antioxidants, vitamins they contain naturally. Do you know of any other harmful effects that our favorite foods can have on us?
