A love of sweets can lead not only to excess weight gain, but also to the formation of wrinkles.

This is due to the fact that after eating another cake, glucose enters the blood, which causes a sharp jump in insulin, which is stress for the body. It, in turn, starts the enzymes that destroy collagen and elastin.

As a result, the skin will lose its tone and elasticity and will become flabby in appearance.

How to avoid premature aging? It is worth following several rules.

1. Monitor the amount of sugar you consume. It can be present not only in desserts, but also in other dishes, such as sauces.

2. Make sure you get quality rest and enough sleep, the lack of which also leads to stress, which is accompanied by an increase in cortisol levels, which affects the jump in insulin.

3. Include healthy foods in your diet: vegetables, greens, nuts, fish and others.

4. It is also worth cooking correctly: for example, healthy brown rice, if overcooked, can also cause a jump in insulin.
