And all this because of glycation. But what the hell is Glycation?
Glycation is a chemical process in which glucose molecules interact with proteins, such as collagen and elastin, forming compounds known as advanced glycation end products, rendering them defective and therefore losing their functionality.
What can we do to prevent it?
- Eat a healthy diet, you know many vegetables and fruits. And limit the consumption of foods rich in refined sugars.
- Expose yourself to the sun with caution, and always use sun protection, since radiation accelerates the glycation process and skin aging.
- Eliminate tobacco from our lives, since it increases oxidative stress, inflammation, decreases our antioxidant reserves and worsens microcirculation.
- Taking care of the skin, including protective assets such as Antioxidants, Anti-inflammatories, and other Anti-glycation cosmetics that we will talk about soon.
