10 Common Foods and Drinks That Make You Look Much Older Than You Really Are
Grilled chicken
Grilled chicken is quite popular in many health-conscious diets, but it might not be doing you any favors when it comes to your skin. That’s because it includes AGEs, proteins or lipids which occur in foods cooked at a high temperature.
The average AGE consumption is about 15,000 kilounits (kU) per day, according to a 2013 study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. If you exceed that amount on a regular basis, expect some extra wrinkles. Â In addition, according to research published in the Journal of Exercise Nutrition & Biochemistry, AEGs act at the cellular level and cause a “loss of protein function and impaired elasticity of tissues.”
Charred meat
If you’ve always been a fan of extra burnt meat, you might want to reconsider your preferences. According to the National Institutes of Health, meats prepared at high temperatures include high amounts of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which can damage your DNA and increase the risk of cancer.
HCAs and PAHs can also promote inflammation and affect collagen production, leading to a less elastic skin and an aged appearance.On the other hand, you could  Try These 10 Skin-Friendly Foods and look young forever!
