Are you eating an AGEless diet? There are compounds in some food groups that can negatively affect your health. Cooking can bring some of these compounds to the surface. AGEs (advanced glycation end products) are common compounds that form inside your body and the food you consume. These compounds form when sugar bonds with proteins or lipids without enzymatic regulation. The proteins and fats in the body don’t behave properly when AGEs are formed. AGEs impact chronic illness. Reducing the intake of these compounds may improve and preserve health. Listen as Dr. Helen Vlassara joins Dr. Mike Smith to discuss how AGEs alter the body and how to navigate them.
