Let’s start with sugar.
This may seem dramatic, but I actually like to call sugar Sugar Demon Because from the moment those sweets enter your stomach, they begin to destroy your microbiome by killing good bacteria and feeding harmful bacteria. When these harmful bacteria multiply, your intestines will become more swampy, which means bloating, indigestion and energy expenditure.

Because you and your collagen chain need a lot of water to stay healthy.Without it, they started to crack and gather together. Think of plump, juicy, ripe grapes. Now, imagine those grapes drying out and shrinking into hard, dark, wrinkled raisins.
That’s your skin on the salt.
