Can Food Give You Wrinkles?

What do degenerative diseases and wrinkles have in common? The answer is AGE’s (Advanced Glycation End products.)
AGE’s primarily get into your body from the foods you eat, but some are produced by the body. They form a sticky plaque in your brain, nerve tissue, blood vessels, and basically all human tissue including collagen and DNA.
Once consumed anywhere from 10% to 30% of AGE’s are absorbed and damage cannot be fully undone.
They are responsible for:
- Sagging Skin
- Wrinkles
- Pancreatic Damage (which leads to diabetes)
- Blood Vessel Damage (which leads to high blood pressure)
- Amyloid Proteins & Neurofibril Tangles (which lead to Alzheimer’s, dementia, nerve damage and peripheral neuropathy)
- Deafness and Blindness
- By-products that can become cancerous
These are serious, destructive molecules that you can avoid to slow down the aging of your face, skin, and internal organs. They occur when you cook food that is high in fat, protein, and sugar at high temperatures without water, as in frying, roasting or grilling. AGE’s occur when sugar molecules attach to protein or fat without an enzyme. If you steam, poach, or boil food with water or cook at lower temperatures, you prevent AGE’s from forming.
ANYTHING BAKED OR FRIED TO A BEAUTIFUL
GOLDEN BROWN IS DEADLY!
Donuts, cakes, crackers, chips, dark colored soda, dark beer, French fries, muffins, caramel toppings, bacon, smoked meats, and a well-done steak are no-nos.
BUT WAIT THERES MORE
What about those internally formed AGE’s? They come from the sugar and carbohydrates you eat! If you have chronically elevated blood sugar levels (from type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome), then you are experiencing the most damage from AGE’s internally. You must reduce your overall sugar load to reduce this inflammation and rapid aging. Here’s how:
- Read labels to avoid HFC (high fructose corn syrup) and sugar of any kind because as you will see, it’s in almost everything.
- Avoid sugary drinks, even fruit juices.
- Minimize consumption of grains, especially wheat and corn.
- Learn to cook meats in a crock pot or in a pan with a small amount of water.
- Eat loads of salads, raw vegetables, and fresh fruits.
- Boil, steam, slow-cook, or stew when cooking everything else.
- Avoid processed meats and foods.
- Avoid browned, grilled, roasted, caramelized, or fried foods.
- Avoid dark colored sodas and beer.
- Eat loads of these: kale, collard greens, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, artichokes, berries, cherries, kiwi, plums, grapes, and beans.
- Drink green tea, black tea, white tea, matcha and rooibos tea.
- Cook with cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, and cloves.
