想要永葆年輕？別碰這些食物

It's well known that foods high in sugar and salt are dangerous for the waistline, but they could also be ageing your body much faster than you realise.
衆所周知，吃高糖類和高鹽類食物會有發胖的危險，但是這類食物加速身體老化的程度可能會比你所意識到的要厲害得多。

A number of foods have been identified that speed up the body's ageing process, each having elements that place stress on the body, causing cell damage and physical signs of ageing.
經證實大量食物都會加速人體的衰老進程，這些食物都含有對身體造成壓力的成分，導致細胞損傷並加速身體老化進程。

Susie Burrell, an Australian dietitian and founder of Shape Me, says there are qualities in some foods that make them more likely to contribute to ageing cells in the long term.
澳大利亞“塑造我（Shape Me）”創始人兼營養師蘇茜·伯勒爾說，有些食物長期食用有加速細胞老化的作用。

'As a general rule of thumb, dietary patterns with a high glycaemic load increase inflammatory processes in the body over time, while diets high in salt result in fluid retention, swelling and increase pressure on a number of the body’s systems,' Ms Burrell told Daily Mail Australia.
“一般經驗，血糖負荷高的飲食模式長期下來會增加體內炎症過程，而高鹽飲食導致液體瀦留、腫脹、增加身體系統壓力，”澳大利亞博瑞爾女士對《每日郵報》說。

While some foods are obvious risks, there are five popular foods that can speed up the ageing process:
雖然有些食物明顯對身體健康存在風險，但有五種受歡迎的食物會加快衰老進程：

It is common practice to grab a muffin or a piece of banana bread with a Coffee in the morning, but this habit could be contributing to long-term harm.
在早上隨意抓一塊鬆餅或一塊香蕉麪包再喝上一杯咖啡，這是很常見的做法。但這個習慣可能會造成長期性的傷害。

'The potent mix of saturated fat and sugar mean that processed carbohydrates are a nightmare when it comes to increasing inflammation in the body,' Ms Burrell said.
飽和脂肪和糖類的強力組合也就是說，加工過的碳水化合物是增加體內炎症的一大噩夢的時候，”博瑞爾女士說。

Besides impacting the skin, high sugar levels can actually change the kind of collagen the body has, transforming it to a more fragile kind which both looks and feels less soft.
除了對皮膚有影響，高糖量其實會改變身體的膠原蛋白，將其轉化爲一種看起來和感覺起來不夠柔軟卻更脆弱的物質。

Chai lattes are a popular alternative to coffee.
流行做法是用茶代替咖啡。

However, most coffee shops don't brew their chai lattes with chai leaves, instead opting for a pre-mixed syrup.
不過，多數咖啡店製作印度茶拿鐵時用的不是葉子茶，而是事先調好的糖漿。

'Pre-mixed chai can contain as much as six teaspoons of sugar in a single serve and when you combine that with the sugars found naturally in milk you have a sugar bomb hidden in a seemingly healthy drink choice,' Ms Burrell said.
“一包預混茶的含糖量可能多達六勺，當與牛奶搭配時，加上牛奶本身含有的糖分，那麼在這個看似健康的飲料選擇裏就有可能隱藏了一個糖炸彈，”博瑞爾女士說。

When the sugar enters the bloodstream, it forms harmful molecules that damage protein in the body, especially those responsible for collagen, leading to damaged, brittle skin that is susceptible to wrinkles.
糖進入血液會形成有害分子破壞體內蛋白質，特別是對膠原蛋白分子的破壞性大，對脆弱的皮膚造成破壞從而容易長皺紋。

Coffee isn't a great alternative however, with the caffeine depleting the body of moisture and making the skin look aged and the acid causing enamel damage over time.
不過，咖啡也不是很好的替代飲品，咖啡因消耗體內的水分，使皮膚看起來顯老，長期飲用咖啡的話，咖啡中含的酸對釉質有損傷作用。

Packet soups are an easy alternative to slaving away at the stove all day, many of them simply requiring you to add boiling water.
各式湯料包很容易成爲忙碌之人的替代飲品，許多湯料包只需加開水衝調一下即可飲用。

But with the halved preparation time, comes half the nutritional benefits.
但是，隨着準備時間減半，營養價值也隨之減半。

'With more than 800 – 1000 milligrams of sodium in a single serve of many of them, packet soups are likely to leave you bloated and retaining fluid,' Ms Burrell said.
“單包湯料含的鈉超過800 - 1000毫克，可能會使人臃腫並造成液體瀦留，”博瑞爾女士說。

Diets with high salt content place heavy pressure on the body and can significantly damage cells due to fluid retention.
高鹽飲食對身體造成的壓力很大，因液體瀦留會明顯破壞細胞。

For a quick fix, moisturisers containing caffeine can reduce the look of a bloated stomach when applied topically.
快速修復方法是含咖啡因的飲品，會減輕胃的局部臃腫現象。

Marinades, sauces, cereal, veggie burgers, frozen vegetables and chicken breasts are also foods with surprisingly high sodium contents.
滷汁、醬汁、穀物、蔬菜漢堡、冷凍蔬菜和雞胸肉也是高鈉類的食物。

One glass of bottled fruit juice with breakfast doesn't seem like it's doing much harm, but the sugar content in that one glass alone is far higher than many realise.
早餐一杯瓶裝果汁貌似並不會有太大的傷害，但一杯瓶裝果汁的糖含量遠比許多人想象的高。

'Not only is fruit juice highly acidic, which destroys tooth enamel but with more than six teaspoons of sugar per glass, juice will send your insulin levels sky rocketing,' Ms Burrell said.
“果汁不僅是破壞牙釉質的高酸性持物，而且每杯果汁的糖含量超過6茶匙，果汁會讓你的胰島素水平飆升，”博瑞爾女士說。

'The high insulin levels are linked to both inflammation and weight gain.'
“胰島素水平高會引發炎症並導致體重增加。”

The sugar also strips the enamel from the teeth, while the acids make teeth more vulnerable to stains.
糖也會腐蝕牙齒的牙釉質，而酸使牙齒更容易被染色。

It's not news that fatty, fried foods are of little nutritional benefit, but their contribution to the ageing process is significant.
大家都知道這些食品在所含營養少之又少，但這類食品對加速老化的作用是很明顯的。

'Not only are our favourite fried foods packed full of salt, but the trans fats found in many fast foods means you should consume as little commercially fried and packaged foods as possible as they have been linked to cellular damage,' Ms Burrell said.
“不僅是我們最喜歡高鹽油炸食品，還有許多含反式脂肪的快餐食品，也就是說我們應該儘量少地食用商業性油炸食品和包裝食品，因爲這類食品與細胞損傷有關，”博瑞爾女士說。

Trans fats have also been known to increase UV vulnerability, the number one cause of ageing.
反式脂肪也會使得對紫外線更脆弱，是誘發衰老的罪魁禍首。
