What is it to be American? Hamburgers, steaks, hot dogs hot from the grill? Overly done meat at high temperatures increase advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). AGEs are free radicals that increase inflammation. Overly done meat at high temperatures increase products within the meat that results in your body to react…
Meat soaked in spices and herbs is a common practice from around the world to increase tenderness and flavor. Naturally, even when eating raw, meat is especially high in AGEs (advanced glycation end-products). Frying, grilling, roasting, and searing increase AGEs. Thankfully, marinating dramatically reduces AGEs. Try it with chicken, pork,…
The last post showed that advanced glycation end-products (AGEs): initiate and promote chronic disease create oxidative stress and inflammationworsen memory and thinking skills Many AGEs that we eat are from meats, cheese, processed, fried foods and roasted nuts. Uribarri, et al., 2010 found the average person ate 14,700+-680 CML (carboxylmethyl-lysine)…
1. Implicated in Cataracts and Macular Degeneration Advanced Glycation End-Products (AGEs) live a long time. They accumulate over time in your body. AGEs are found in the lens and retina of those with cataracts and macular degeneration. Gul, Rahman, Salim and Simjee, et. al., completed a study of 124 individuals…
Inflammaging: How it Happens Without realizing, we expose ourselves to inflammation. In fact, constant, low-level inflammation causes us to age more rapidly. Franschesci in 2000, coined the term inflammaging. He was the first to cleverly combine inflammation and aging, resulting in inflammaging. Some inflammation is Healthy Inflammation occurs when our…

AGEs are implicated in initiating and promoting chronic disease. Many foods, such as meat, cheese, roasted nuts are high in AGEs. …
