The Aging Culprits
An expert points out 7 common foods that can secretly speed up aging. These foods subtly impact our bodies, contributing to premature aging. It's time to understand the role these foods play in accelerating the process and make informed food choices.
Processed Foods' Impact
Processed foods often contain high levels of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. These ingredients can lead to inflammation and oxidative stress, major contributors to aging. Reducing consumption of packaged snacks and ready-to-eat meals is a great start.
Sugar's Sweet Deceit
Excess sugar intake can lead to glycation, a process where sugar molecules attach to proteins, damaging them and accelerating aging. Be mindful of added sugars in drinks and desserts, often present in abundance in Indian sweets.
Unhealthy Fats' Role
Trans fats and saturated fats, common in fried foods and certain snacks, can increase inflammation and contribute to cardiovascular issues, accelerating the aging process. Indian cuisine includes delicious yet often deep-fried items; mindful moderation is key.
Refined Carbs Caution
White bread, pasta, and other refined carbohydrates can cause blood sugar spikes, leading to inflammation and aging. Choosing whole grains instead can help stabilise blood sugar and promote longevity. Switch to rotis made from whole wheat rather than maida!
