Glycation of the body accelerates aging!? What is the invisible enemy "AGEs"?

Are you aware of the phenomenon called "glycation" that occurs in our bodies every day?

It may not be a term you're familiar with, but if you care about beauty and health, it's a keyword you'll want to know.


◆What is glycation?
Glycation is a phenomenon in which sugar ingested through food or other sources binds to proteins and lipids in the body and is heated by body temperature, producing aging substances called "AGEs (advanced glycation end products)."

When AGEs accumulate in the body, they can cause the collagen that maintains skin elasticity to deteriorate, leading to wrinkles and sagging, and can also harden blood vessels and internal organs, leading to lifestyle-related diseases.

Simply put, glycation can be thought of as the body burning from the inside. The same phenomenon that causes pancakes to brown is silently occurring inside our bodies.


◆Countermeasures <br>So, what can be done to prevent this glycation?

・The first thing to do is to avoid a sudden rise in blood sugar levels. Eating only refined carbohydrates such as white sugar and white rice can cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly.

Instead, it's a good idea to focus on eating high-fiber vegetables, whole grains, and high-quality proteins.

・The order in which you eat is also important. Starting with vegetables ("veggie first") and spacing out meals to give your internal organs a rest by refraining from snacking are some ways to prevent glycation.

We deal with glycation every day without even realizing it. This is why even a small change in lifestyle can have a major impact on the condition of your skin and body 10 years from now.

To age beautifully and healthily.
Why not start anti-aging from within your body while learning to deal with glycation properly?
