10. Counteract Fructose With Lipoic Acid

Did you know that agave syrup, the supposedly healthy alternative to sugar, contains more fructose than corn syrup? The bad thing about fructose is that it down collagen quicker than sucrose (regular sugar), so it can speed up wrinkle formation.

Some people, such as diabetics, have to replace sucrose by fructose in their diet, so what they can do is supplement their diet with brussel sprouts. They contain a lot of lipoic acid, a compound that can prevent the breakdown of collagen induced by fructose.

11. Don’t Think Rice Cakes Are Healthy

Rice cakes may be low in calories, but they will not benefit your skin, as they have a high glycemic index, which means that they can cause spikes in blood sugar levels. These spikes are infamously called an “aging accelerator” because it can cause or deepen wrinkles.

If you’re looking for an anti-aging midday snack, it’s better to dip vegetables into some hummus. Carrots and red bell peppers are my personal favorites, as they’re high in vitamin C and carotene, both of which promote skin health and help produce collagen. Chickpeas, on the other hand, are a great source of protein and antioxidants, so it’s a win-win situation for your skin.

To sum up, let’s reiterate that you don’t have to stop eating or drinking any of the foods or drinks in this list completely. Also, we recognize that maturing is a beautiful natural process, and wrinkles are not a bad thing at all. Still, they are a concern for many people, and a healthy diet low in AGEs can promote graceful aging.
