It's a nasty process that can accelerate aging of body and even cause wrinkles.

When there’s too much sugar in your bloodstream, it bonds to the protein in your tissues.

One Dr. Perricone's Pet Peeves....

If you are a fan of Dr. Perricone -- you know he is against excess sugar due to the damage it can cause to the complexion...........including:

dark eye circles
loss of tone
puffiness
increased lines/wrinkles
loss of facial contours
increased pore size

He believes that a high carbohydrate diet can exaggerate complexion issues and even acne symptoms, which he believes is linked to inflammation.

So along with a good diet, exercises and Benfortiamine, Dr. Perricone recommends Alpha Lipoic Acid - another supplement that can help.

He states that these are “......two important nutritional supplements that can help prevent and reverse the negative effects of glycation.”

Dosage

Most companies offer Benfotiamine in 80 mg capsules - however, the researchers at Life Extension Foundation suggest taking at least 100 up to 400 mg daily.

If you're a diabetic or have any health issues or take any medication, make sure to speak with your doctor before taking any over-the-counter supplements.

Diet - What Else Can You Do?

There is no magic pill to slow or prevent aging - so in addition to taking Benfotiamine consider following a low glycemic diet by avoiding foods with a high glycemic index.

These foods include those that are high in sugar and simple processed carbohydrates – which rapidly convert to sugar in the bloodstream.

Anti-aging research shows that a diet low in sugar and processed carbohydrates can help promote clear complexion and help prevent acne, eczema and -- most importantly -- help prevent wrinkles.

In addition, following this type of Clear Skin Diet can reduce fatigue, water retention and help you lose weight and keep it off.
