Foods That Can Impact Your Beauty Negatively

There are all kinds of research studies and stories conducted to tell us how to look more beautiful and younger. But instead of scouring the grocery store for every berry or skin-saving product you can get your hands on, you can also avoid certain foods doing damage to the way you look. Some of the foods below are bad both for your outsides and insides appearance, while others just make you sweaty or stinky. So take a look on this useful list to cut out certain foods which make you ugly.
Cereal
Most of today’s cereals are made from refined grains and chemically enriched flours, plus an excess of sugar and artificial colors and flavors. Ancient people did not even eat grains. It is some kind of a relatively new phenomenon to eat flaky cereals, which cause bloating and can lead to obesity.
 
Coffee
Coffee in moderation is not harmful, but if you drink too much, it will make your breath smell wicked bad, stain your teeth and will even make you a bit gassy. Too much caffeine also can lead to dehydration and thus leave a pallid skin complexion.
 
Processed food
Processed food lacks natural nutrients, so if you are actively consuming these foods, you are most likely not getting enough vitamins and nutrients you really need. That means your body, and especially your face, is not as healthy as it needs to be since cells repair slowly.
 
Alcohol
While it is true having one or two drinks once in a while is not necessarily unhealthy, suffering hangovers or overdosing on drinks can ravage your body. Even a few drinks can leave you looking a little rough the next day: bags under your eyes or bloodshot eyes and a weak looking complexion are the result of dehydration and restless sleep. Drinking often and heavily makes you pudgy since alcohol destroys muscle and it will also help you gain weight. The liver works overtime when alcohol is consumed and more alcohol you take into your body, the greater the chance of damaging this detoxifying organ. Without a properly functioning liver, your body will face difficulties absorbing the nutrients required for healthy skin. Not only is alcohol bad for your kidneys and liver, it can also turn your digestive tract to a tailspin. What is the result? Again weight gain, bloating and dehydration. Over time, it can lead to premature wrinkling.




Margarine
Margarine is considered to be a healthier alternative to butter, but check the label. Many types of margarine contain hydrogenated oils or trans fats. They are terrible for maintaining hormone balance in the body, and can cause you to break out. 

Salt
A pack of salty chips is fine, but what can it do to your beauty? Salt causes tissues to swell, and the consequent deflating results in less elastic skin. It results in bloating, bags under your eyes and puffy eyelids. Have you noticed how your face gets puffed up if you have eaten too many salty snacks the previous day? Eating salty foods and commonly snacks can make your whole body bloat, including your face, tummy and fingers. That swelling of tissues and then deflating makes the skin less elastic over time.
 
Sugar
Studies indicate that sugars can damage your skin by forming a harmful waste which can prematurely age skin. When you consume too much, excess sugar molecules stick to the protein fibers, bind them together and produce free radicals and harmful wastes that definitely affects the elastic ability of protein fibers. High levels of refined sugar in the blood can cause the inflammation of your skin and excessive amounts of free radicals leading to reduce of collagen and cell damage. Since collagen is vital for firm skin, this will cause wrinkles and other skin blemishes. Sugar can lower your body’s immune system and lead to various illnesses. It can even directly lead to conditions such as fatigue, diabetes, tooth decay, anxiety, heart disease, hypoglycemia, cancer and hyperglycemia. Reduce the amount of sugar you consume and you will soon notice a positive change in the way your skin looks. The reason for this is that refined carbs, for example, white bread and other white flour products, are high in sugar and can cause an inflammation of the skin.
 
Fried Foods
The Chinese believe that blemishes and acne are tied to incomplete and inefficient digestion that results in toxic metabolites to show up on the skin. Fatty fried foods inhibit normal filtering and digestive functions for the gallbladder and liver making it harder for your body to clear rested waste. The accumulation of this waste causes unwanted skin conditions such as acne or wrinkles. Plus, oils which are heated to very high temperatures, like deep frying temperatures, contain a nasty compound that kills skin cells and release unhealthy products.

Salad dressing
Make sure to always check the label before buying salad dressing. Some of them contain MSG, or include a listing of ingredients that are used to make MSG. This is a trick to make you think you are buying something that is MSG-free. The flavor enhancer can cause not only headaches and nausea, but also facial tightness, sweating and a burning sensation in the face. Sometimes even salad dressings without MSG can cause gas, or be mixed with mayo and lots of sugar, which are catastrophic for your skin.
 
Barbecue sauce
Barbecue sauces are one more red flag for MSG. They are also full of carbohydrates and sugar, so do not forget to check the label.
 
Soy sauce
Just a tablespoon of soy sauce can contain over 45% of the daily value of sodium. Some soy sauces also contain MSG. So you will be a bloated, sweaty mess after all that dipping.
 
White bread
Rice and white breads can lead to break outs and inflammation, so go for whole grain, substitutions with low glycemic index if you have to eat bread.
 
Mystery meats
Bacon, sausages and other processed meats are often high in sodium, saturated fat and sugar that are strongly linked to obesity, cancer and other nervous system diseases such as dementia. What is more, saturated fat is a kind of fat that is very hard to burn even with exercise. Hence, over eating this kind of food can lead to weight gain and is proved to be fatal due to the diseases linked with this kind of food.
 
Hot wings
Spicy foods increase the speed of the metabolism that means your body faster burns calories. This also means that your body creates even more heat. That is why eating spicy foods can cause you to visibly sweat. This is not all that nice. So, when you go out for wings, do not try to impress your date by ordering the hottest food, stick with something mild.

Soft drinks
One question: what is the only biggest source of calories for you? Actually, the answer is soda. The average citizen drinks about four cans of the stuff each day. You may say you drink diet soda and it is not your problem. Without sugar or calories, it is the perfect alternative for weight losers. Do you think so? Think once again. The next time you go grocery shopping remember that weather diet or not soda comes with its own list of side effects that harm your health including: increased cholesterol levels by up to 20%, causing tooth decay, contributing to obesity, increasing the risk of developing kidney stones, increasing the risk of osteoporosis, causing dehydration and advancing the aging of the skin, increasing the risk of developing cancer, causing insomnia, acid reflux or heartburn and affecting your ability to regulate the appetite.
 
Palm oil
The other cooking ingredient which may make your date run away is palm oil, that is high in saturated fat and not a safe substitute for trans fat. It rises up cholesterol and triggers heart disease. Check labels on packaged foods like crackers and cookies to be sure they were not made with this oil.
 
French fries
French fries contain high levels of salt and either hydrogenated vegetable oil or saturated fat or both. You may notice your fingers swell just a couple of hours after eating French fries, so do not take them in your diet.
 
Flavored jerky
Besides containing huge amounts of sodium, even a half of the daily value or more, flavored jerky usually contains MSG to keep it, well, tasting good for ridiculous amounts of time.
 
Starchy foods
Starchy carbs are very closely linked with unpleasant breath, so avoid potatoes and other starches.
