Reason why women want sweet food when they are in their menstruation period

News24xx.com - Reported by the Huffington Post, October 11th 2018, a survey found that as many as 50% of woman in US ate junk food and sweet foods during menstruation period. According to the anti-aging expert, Dr. Daniel Sister, this happened because of the premenstrual syndromes that made women's moods change even feeling depressed. For that, women tend to want to eat foods that contain high sugar to get a sense of comfort.

Scientifically, it arises because the level of stress hormones called cortisol rises while the hormone happiness called serotonin down. Even so, the routine consumption of foods with high sugar levels is actually harmful to the skin. The food makes the skin dull and prone to wrinkles.

"Eating too much sugar regularly makes the skin dull and prone to wrinkles. This occurs because of a process called glycation. Sugar in the blood attaches to proteins and forms dangerous molecules called 'advanced glycation end products' which are often called AGE" he explained.

AGE damages proteins and makes cells stiff, less flexible and prone to premature damage and aging. "Collagen and elastin are very susceptible to damage due to this process and the effects begin to be felt at the age of 35 years and over" he added. So, the more routine you eat high-sugar foods, the greater the AGE develops in the body. Indirectly, cause you to age quickly.
