Want to slow down the aging process?
By Geir Ness
Time doesn't stand still and growing older doesn't always mean
growing wiser. We may be trying to take care of ourselves by exercising, taking
long walks, bike riding, jogging, etc... and the
next thing we know, we're rushing to Starbucks and ordering latte. The
question is, "are we really taking care of ourselves?"
Did you know that most of us don't realize
that sugar is somewhat responsible aging skin? That’s because it inhibits the effectiveness of collagen
within your cells. After being attacked by sugar, the collagen fibers become
cross-linked and adhere to each other. This can result in sagging and wrinkled
skin.
Most of us are consuming one or two cups
of coffee a day......but it's what's in the coffee that we have
to watch. Whole milk, cream and sugar will make your midsection much more
visible as well.
So next time you drop in your local coffee spot to
order a delicious cup of Latte, pass on the cream & sugar and use
substitute sweetener and skim milk. I promise it will still be
delicious!
