Sugar Makes You Old
Sugar harms your body in more ways than you can imagine.
To sum it all up in one sentence – consuming refined sugars is highly PRO AGEING and pro death. In other words, eating sugar makes you old.
Here are 5 ways sugar is killing your cellular integrity and youthfulness if you are eating high glucose carbs, sugary foods and drinks:
Sugar breaks down collagen which leads to skin aging and wrinkles - There is a direct connection between sugar consumption and the breakdown of skin collagen. This loss of collagen strength and flexibility leads to wrinkly, saggy skin.
Sugar causes chronic inflammation: - All dis-ease begins with chronic inflammation. Inflammation in small amounts is a healthy natural means of supporting damaged tissue, and fighting viruses, bacteria and so on. However, prolonged inflammation has damaging effects on the body and can lead to arthritis, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Many studies have shown that eating large quantities of high-glucose carbs (sugar) leads to oxidative stress, prompting an inflammatory response throughout the body. The more glucose spikes, the greater the inflammation.
There are links between sugar and cancer - Research shows that people consuming a frequent and high level of sugar have a much higher risk of developing many different types of cancer, including breast and colon cancer. High sugar intake also leads to unregulated cell multiplication in cancerous tissues.
Sugar leads to a fatty liver -n As sugar is broken down in the body, part of it is sent to the liver for processing, and the excess is stored as fat. The build-up of fat in the liver leads to problems throughout the entire body including weight gain, elevated cholesterol and fatty liver.
Sugar weakens the immune system - Sugar weakens white blood cell activity, the key to our immune system. Research shows the ability of white blood cells to engulf bacteria is decreased by 40% upon intake of large quantities of sugar. As we age, our immune system naturally weakens, but sugar consumption can prematurely diminish or amplify the weakening of our body’s defence mechanism. A weakened immune system may be the reason we see increased infection and cancer rates in older people.
