Sugar and Wrinkly Skin

Aging is a natural process of human existence, as I have discussed in my book diet EARTH.  I am often asked by members of my gym, "how can I reduce the skin sag and wrinkles?"  I tell them that there are two three factors that they need to consider, 1. Eating too much sugar, 2. Not performing isolated weight training exercises, and 3. Avoid too much unprotected sun rays.

Sugar, as we all know by now, is overly consumed by most Americans. The over consumption of sugar causes an inflammatory effect on the skin. Too much sugar in the bloodstream has many poor side effects, one being a condition known as Advanced Glycation End Product ) or conveniently abbreviated as AGEs. What the process of AGEs is when protein molecules attach to extra sugar in the bloodstream, producing a harmful new molecule that attacks the skin collagen and elastin protein fibers. Collagen and elastin gives the skin its firmness and elasticity. Too much damage to collagen and elastin will result in the drying effect of the skin, leading to sagging and wrinkling. During the natural aging process these proteins are already reducing. Over consuming sugar will advance the aging process even faster.

Alcohol contains sugar. Consuming too much alcohol will produce AGEs and will cause premature aging, wrinkling, sagging skin, and discolored skin. Also, it is important to eliminate one special substance from the diet. This substance is known to produce AGEs more than any other substance. (To find out what this substance is you must email me at dconant2004@yahoo.com for the answer. Just write: "what is the substance."  By eliminating this substance you can reduce the damage to the skin. This is why people who are addicted to alcohol look much older than they really are.

Eating lots of fruit and drinking sugary drinks will influence the production of AGEs.  Limit your intake.

The next factor affecting the skin is not implementing enough isolated weight training exercises into the routine. Today's fitness programs are geared around functional training with little regards to isolated weight training exercises.  Functional training, like those found in an outdoor bootcamp style class are fun and challenging but aren't the best for keeping the skin tight. Remember that the skin covers muscles. When a muscle contracts within its complete range the blood rushes to the area an pumps the muscle. When the pump is great enough the skin stretches. This stretching affect results in the breakdown of collagen and elastin which is then regenerated through a high protein diet and proper recovery. Doing exercises that don't emphasize one muscle group at a time will not produce the pumping affect that is necessary to promote the skin to tighten.  If you look at a runner compared to a sprinter. The sprinter looks healthy, strong, their skin is tight and they don't have as many wrinkles. The runner looks gaunt, tired, aged, sagging skin.  Sprinters are using all of their muscles in an explosive fashion which increases the blood volume to the extremities, producing almost the same effect as isolated weight training. The same is true for bodybuilders compared to cardiovascular only folks.  The bodybuilder fall into the sprinter category and. the cardiovascular only group fall into the same category as the long distance runner.

Isolated weight training is the best way to keep the skin looking young and wrinkle free.

The last main factor of premature wrinkles and looking older is sun damage.  Everyone knows about the dangers about the sun, so I won't go into detail.  The suns rays breakdown the collagen and elastin drying out the skin.
