He explains how a high GI diet causes increased
oxidative stress, which means free radical damage and premature aging of
the skin.
A low GI diet on the other hand, results in less
oxidative damage and therefore is a great idea for anyone interested in
anti aging, having young looking skin, and looking 10-20 years younger
than your age.
So in this article, let's have a look at how to put a
low GI diet into action.
When you combine lifestyle changes with
wrinkle creams,
the results are much better than just one.
Firstly let's have a look at the high GI foods.
These are the foods to avoid:
White bread, wholemeal bread
Potatoes
Most types of rice
Refined foods such as biscuits and cakes
Refined breakfast cereals
Fruit juice
Sugar
What you should do is to substitute the above foods
with these foods instead, which are low GI:
Grainy bread, sourdough bread
Green leafy vegetables
Basmati or Japanese short grain rice, pasta
Fish, eggs, lean chicken, yogurt
Oatmeal and low GI breakfast muesli
Whole fruit
Honey
So yes, what it involves is shopping for the right
ingredients, and making simple substitutions as above.
And when eating out, make sure that you try to order
the foods that are lower GI.
And there's another trick here that you should know
about. And that is, when you mix protein with a meal, you lower the GI
value of that meal.
This means that if your meal is say medium GI, e.g.,
you have breakfast muesli that has some dried fruits in it, you can turn
the meal into a lower or even a low GI meal, by having some protein.
How do you do this?
Have some egg or yogurt with breakfast.
This addition of protein will make the meal lower GI,
which is healthier for you and your skin, as well as the other benefits of
a low GI meal, which is to keep you satisfied for longer, and for your
concentration levels to stay steady for much longer.
These benefits fo a low GI meal are invaluable.
So there you go.
These are the simple steps to a low GI diet that are
easy to take, but have a big impact on your health, as well as the
health of your skin, including wrinkles.
