3. Ban Sugar
Although delicious, it seems as the years go on sugar becomes a bigger enemy of the body. It can lead to diabetes and it feeds cancer cells, as well as recently being linked to connective tissue damage and inflammation. When sugar enters your body, it attacks collagen and elastin, which are the proteins that help keep skin strong and youthful. Sugar also creates a process called advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which make your skin more vulnerable to UV damage and cigarette smoke.
