Top Antiaging Diets

As you probably know, your diet is an important part of looking younger as well as feeling younger.

In fact, when your diet is healthy, and rich in unrefined foods, your skin looks better, and when you use an antiaging cream that gives results, then you’re all set for gorgeous skin, at whatever age you are.

Out of the many dietary tips and hints that I’ve read about for antiaging and good looking skin, I have found several that I consider the most important to follow.

The reason why I have included them here is because I have found that they did help me with these 3 things:

Younger looking skin, fat loss and improved muscle tone, and feeling great.

Let’s have a look at the first thing you can do:

1. The Low GI Diet

One of the most important things you can do for antiaging is to choose the low GI carbs instead of high GI carbs.

Why?

Three main reasons and these are big ones.

But first, just know that high GI carbs are the carbs that are absorbed rapidly into the blood stream causing a big spike in blood sugar levels, whereas low GI carbs are absorbed gradually.

High GI carbs (the ones to avoid):

1. Causes you to gain fat (in some people more so than eating fat itself). Why? It’s because high GI carbs causes your body produce a huge spike in insulin, which is the hormone that causes your body to store fat

2. Increases free radicals which damages all the structures in your skin, as well as turns your collagen from type 3 collagen to type 1 collagen which means your skin loses it’s strength and elasticity. You age faster.

3. Increases your risk of type 2 diabetes if you continue with a high GI diet for too long

There’s another benefit too of low GI carbs versus high GI:

Steady blood sugar levels with low GI foods means stable moods, and steady concentration levels!

Choosing low GI carbs is simple. You just have to choose the right foods and then feel the difference in your body and mind.

For example, have multigrain or sourdough bread instead of white or wholemeal, have Basmati rice instead of most other white rice, have green vegetables instead of potatoes, have yoghurt instead of biscuits or rice crackers, Bircher muesli instead of processed cereals.

Two more tips that are invaluable.

1. Have protein with every meal.

This is because protein makes any carbs absorb even slower.

For example if you have muesli, oats or cereal for breakfast which are medium GI carbs, have yoghurt or 2 eggs with it. This will slow the absorption of carbs and make the meal more satisfying, plus stabilise your blood sugar levels.

2. Avoid carbs (especially high GI carbs) after 8pm at night.

For me, the easiest way I gain fat is when I have carbs (and this is worst with high GI carbs) late at night. I tested this on myself and it’s true. Within 12-24 hours I will gain fat on my face and belly if I do this.

So avoid bread, sweet foods, or even fruit late at night,

Instead, have yoghurt as a snack (it has carbs and protein).

Halle Berry was completely correct on this tip (it’s one of the diet tips she finds works for her too)

Why is this the case? It’s because your body’s metabolism is shutting down at night, so if you have a high GI food, you’ve got 2 factors against you, not just one.
