A Gentle Promise to Myself: The Story of 'Slow Aging' and Blood Sugar Management 🌿

Written by: Dr. Yeseul Moon / Published on: 2025-08-14

Hello, everyone. ✨ Aren't you curious about the secret to maintaining healthy beauty, even as time passes? The secret lies in a lifestyle called 'Slow Aging,' and it all starts right at our dining table.
The most important thing to be mindful of is the 'blood sugar spike.' When we eat sugary foods, our blood sugar goes up and down sharply like a roller coaster. This process can damage the collagen that maintains our skin's elasticity, which can lead to wrinkles.

💖 Healthy Habits for Slow Aging 💖

These small habits can change your tomorrow.
Avoid Blood Sugar Spikes: Try swapping white bread or white rice for brown rice and whole grains. It helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Embrace Healthy Foods: Nutrient-rich foods like avocados🥑, berries🍓, and salmon make your skin glow healthily from the inside out.
Get Enough Good Protein: Foods like chicken breast, tofu, and eggs are the foundation for firm skin, so be sure to eat them consistently.

Shall We Start Together?

So, I'd like to make a suggestion. How about making a small promise to yourself: for one week, starting today, swap a sugary drink for water or herbal tea just once a day?
