Expert shares three foods that accelerate ageing

A doctor has named three inflammatory foods which can accelerate ageing. A diet filled with foods full of antioxidants, healthy fats, water, and essential nutrients, will show its effects through the body's largest organ - the skin.

There's only so much that creams, masks, and serums can do to hide that damage. Dr Sethi, a gastroenterologist, shared a video to TikTok revealing three inflammatory foods that contribute to us aging prematurely. A gastroenterologist is a specialist with expertise in the disorders and diseases that affect the digestive system.

In the video Dr Sethmind said: "The three worst foods that can accelerate the ageing process. The third one on the list is the one I am guilty of consuming myself a lot during my medical school days and unknowingly paying a heavy price for it later."

"But first, sodas are loaded with added sugars and artificial sweeteners. The excess sugar leads to glycation which damages collagen and elastin contributing to premature wrinkles. Instead choose plain water, sparkling water, unsweetened tea or coffee.

"Second, deep fried foods are high in trans fats and unhealthy oils. These promote inflammation and skin ageing. Opt for oven baked, sautéed, steamed or grilled options.

"Third, cup noodles which contain high levels of sodium, artificial additives which can lead to dehydration and puffiness making skin appear aged and tired. Choose whole-wheat noodles with tons of veggies."
