"The nutrients in processed foods are stripped of their natural state they are separated from other elements that might be essential for health." So while processing makes food last longer, Morgan says that it diminishes its nutrient power, and trans fats obtained from hydrogenated oils (found in processed foods) lead to dry skin and wrinkles.


She stresses to "try to avoid high-fat foods, especially those that are fried or processed, as these can cause a number of age-related skin conditions like acne and psoriasis." Sugars and simple carbs cause the skin to lose collagen, resulting in a loss of tone/elasticity and more wrinkling, she warns, as well as other health problems. "What you eat affects the way your skin looks, so make sure to include lots of fresh foods in your diet," she says, "I recommend eating green leafy vegetables, nuts and lean protein sources like fish and chicken." While eating a balanced diet is crucial for the health of your entire body and well-being, Morgan explains that there are specific foods you can eat more of (and less of) to prevent premature aging, slow down sagging skin and promote a more elastic, supple look. #3- Eat a Balanced Diet with Known Skin-Loving Benefits
