If you are unhappy with your skin’s appearance, taking a closer look at your diet is a good idea. Many foods that we may think of as harmless can have the unfortunate side effect of dehydrating the skin, which can contribute to wrinkles.
With that in mind, keep reading for the one food no one over 30 should eat anymore because it causes wrinkles!
Processed Meats
According to Healthline, processed meats like hot dogs, pepperoni, bacon, and sausage can prematurely age the skin.
The article explains, "These meats are high in sodium, saturated fats, and sulfite, which can all dehydrate the skin and weaken collagen by causing inflammation."
If these processed meats are part of your diet and you're noticing wrinkles in your skin, swapping them out for other sources of protein--like chicken and turkey--is a smart way to combat signs of aging.
With that in mind, staying away from these meats by sticking to less processed forms of protein is a good idea to keep your skin looking its best.
Additionally, keeping your body--and by extension, your skin--hydrated by drinking a lot of water throughout the day is a good way to keep your skin looking youthful.
