In this episode, we dive into advanced glycation end products (AGEs), compounds formed in the body and through certain cooking methods that may contribute to aging and chronic disease. But what does this mean for your health, and how much should you really worry about AGEs? Tune in for practical insights on how to make informed choices without unnecessary fear.
We cover:
- What AGEs are and how they form in the body
- Their potential impact on health and aging
- Which foods contribute to higher AGE levels and simple ways to reduce your intake
- Why nutrition is about more than just one factor (big-picture considerations)
