Can Certain Foods make you look Older?
Sometimes, surgical interventions like a facelift are the most effective way to combat the signs of aging and turn back the clock, so to speak. A recent slideshow in Huffington Post suggests abstaining from certain foods may also improve the appearance of your skin, although diet cannot eliminate any sagging skin on your face.
According to the Huffington Post, the following foods may make you look older than you feel and want to look:
- Alcohol
- Soda
- Sugar
- Trans fats
- Carbs
- Fried food
Although it’s unclear whether this information is based on any scientific data, the slideshow does make a good case. These foods can dehydrate your skin, break down collagen, and make you look fatigued and tired.
Eating healthy certainly seems to benefit our bodies, minds and our appearance. Many facial plastic surgery patients lead healthy, active lives but still have some cosmetic flaws they are unhappy with. Many of these patients can benefit from some of these non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments to enhance the appearance of their skin:
- BOTOX® Cosmetic
- Dysport®
- Chemical peels
- Facial fillers
