We often hear about the importance of a balanced diet for overall health, but did you know that certain cooking methods can introduce harmful chemicals? Today, we explore Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and their impact on our well-being.

Effects of AGEs on Health:

  • Increased Hunger- AGEs can increase hunger and challenge healthy eating.
  • Disease Association: Linked with age-related diseases like diabetes, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's.
  • Neurodegeneration: High AGEs can cause neurodegeneration, shown in nematode worm studies.

    • Reducing AGEs in Your Diet:

    • Cooking Methods: Opt for steaming or boiling over dry heat cooking.
    • Plant-Based Foods: Lower AGEs, especially when not overcooked.
    • Stay Informed: Awareness helps in making healthier choices.
    • Use Glylo: Reduces AGEs and curbs carb and sugar cravings.

    Mindful eating can help reduce the hidden chemicals like AGEs, promoting a healthier lifestyle. Stay informed and eat wisely!
