The Sugar Trap
When you ingest sugar, your body breaks these Carbs into glucose which raises your insulin level. Simple Carbs like refined sugar, white bread, soda, juice, candy, & cookies etc. cause your insulin levels to spike which leads to a BURST OF INFLAMMATION throughout your entire body.
Inflammation causes both acne & rosacea flair ups, it produces enzymes that break down collagen & elastin. Not to mention, the more sugar you eat, you'll develop insulin resistance which can manifest
into excess hair growth on the face. You could also experience dark patches on your neck and body." This is a lot I know, but if you take anything away from this, know that simple Carbs are both your skin & body's worst enemy, simple Carbs are considered "pro-inflammatory": Cookies, pastries, white bread, fired food, candy, ice cream, fruit juice, soda, all packaged snacks.
So what you're saying is, I CAN'T EAT ANY deserts...
