Most people’s resolutions at the beginning of the year are to eat healthier. If you need an extra incentive to eat less processed and sugary foods, consider this. A diet high in sugar accelerates the aging process and can result in inflammation, puffiness and loss of skin radiance.
Have a lovely weekend,

Now I scared to eat candy, haha. Thank you for sharing, this is good to know!
Well, you don’t have to swear off all sugar or candy. That would probably be near impossible,lol, but over indulging a lot is when it leads to problems. I think the key to everything is balance/moderation 🙂
I have always loved my sugar! I know I need to cut down for health reasons but I think I look pretty young for all the sugar I have consumed lol. 🙂
I love sugar too! I was having those moments where I needed something sweet after I ate. However, I think the key is to learn how to balance. I’ve read studies that explain how excessive amounts can lead to chronic inflammation over time but that will be for another post, lol. You look great though- it’s just something to think about.
Yeah I know I have read the same thing too. It’s hard when you have such a sweet tooth, so many bad habits I have! lol.
Trust me, I know what you mean. It’s hard, really hard, but not impossible. Baby steps are key for me. 🙂
Yeah you’re right about baby steps! 🙂
Great tip and sugar makes you more hungry! 🙂 At least it does for me.
I had a phase where I craved something sweet every time I ate, lol. Trying to get out of that habit or at least replacing it with something not as sweet. It’s hard though. 🙁
As someone who takes 3 sugars in her tea this isn’t great news lol Really gotta work on reducing my intake! Great post 🙂 X
Maybe incorporating raw honey or something of the like? Of course, my intent isn’t for people too quit sugar all together, but to just be mindful of some of the effects too much sugar can have. We all need sweet treats every now and then. 🙂
That could be a great alternative – I never thought of that!! Thanks Stephie 🙂 I completely agree, sweet treats are nice now and again but like you say, we all should be mindful of our sugar intake… I certainly need to work on reducing mine. I have far too much of a sweet tooth!! x
You’re welcome! I know it’s hard but not impossible. Small steps help though. 🙂
Thank you
I try to reduce my sugar intake, but then my sweet tooth gets very angry with me and rages. LOL!
BTW, I nominated you for the Liebster Award! You can get the info here: http://themakeupcase17.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/liebster-award/
I totally get what you mean, lol. Thanks so much for the nomination! I’ll check it out. 🙂
Such great advice! I’ve been cutting back my sugar for health reasons and it is definitely tough…baby steps are where its at for sure! 😉 thanks for sharing!
I know it’s hard but I think better in the long run. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
It’s true! Great to hear the word is being spread (now I just need to practice what I preach haha)
Trust me, I know. It’s not easy but at least we are aware of it and can hopefully keep that in mind once we start to overindulge. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

In case you need additional encouragement to go easy with the sweet tooth this holiday season and beyond. 🙂
