Do You Like Wrinkles? Then You Will Love Glycation.

Hi,

We are continuing our "ation" kick this post.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out the last couple of posts. 

This post is about your wrinkles and the "ation" that affects them.  It is called glycation.

Glycation is a combination of sugars and protein molecules mixing.  This is not a good thing.  This tangled weave of material is very inflexible and tough.  Sort of like old leather. 

It is the primary cause of wrinkles.  But, it is not just the external wrinkles that you should be worried about.  The internal wrinkles are what causes your health problems.

When your internal organs start to wrinkle it becomes very damaging to the organs.  It causes them to become less flexible.  Now you probably don't think about your organs as being flexible, but they are and they need to stay that way. 

These aren't just little organs, but include the kidneys, the heart, your eyes, the pancreas and oh yes a fairly important one called your brain. 

To top it off the glycation process also releases compounds that produce free radicals which also damage organs including your skin.  These products are called AGEs or Aged Glycation End products.

So, I think you got the picture that this glycation process is not good for you. 

It will not only hasten your death, but make you look like hell as you are dieing. 

So what can you do to try to eliminate this process.  Well, since it is a combination of sugars mixing with protein molecules, then it makes sense to reduce the amount of sugars you eat. 

This includes a lot of starchy foods also.  Foods like fried potatoes, white rice, white pastas and white bread.  White processed foods have been pulverized so much that they aren't really food any more. 

Limit the amounts of food you eat that are cooked at high temperatures.  Anything cooked above 250 degrees causes glycation.  That means limit the amount of barbecuing you do this summer. 

You can also supplement with carnosine and benfotiamine.  I will get a link for you on where to get these supplements soon.

Thanks,

Mike Val
