Her Plan Was Light on the Sweets

Have you ever thought about how much you depend on sweet treats to get through your day? Besides the impact on your nutrition, they're simply not good for your skin. Even Beyonce's splurge meal didn't contain gummy bears, so here's what sugar might do to you!

Prepare to shun the bulk candy aisle for the next few weeks with this info:

*The more sugar you eat, the more advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, you will produce. These can be harmful to protein fibers that keep the skin firm.

*AGEs can deactivate enzyme that naturally protect against the sun's rays.

*Inflammation can occur from a rapid rise in blood sugar, which in turn results in accelerated aging. Oil production may also increase.

It sounds like in addition to slathering on the sunscreen this summer, we should be double-checking our diet to escape from sugars! Don't worry, though--even Beyonce didn't get away scot-free. Food like potatoes and rice can also be converted into sugars, so it's best to read up right away and make a few changes to save your skin.
