Stop Eating These Foods, Doctor Reveals They Accelerate Aging
Want to stay young for as long as possible? You’ll have to say goodbye to these foods. According to an expert doctor, they are responsible for accelerating the aging of our body.
Today, many of us pay close attention to our well-being and health. This obviously involves regular physical activity, but the majority of the process is ensured by diet. And although you pay attention to what you put on your plate, it is very likely that you consume foods that accelerate the aging of your body. This is what Christophe de Jaeger, a French gerontologist and researcher specializing in the aging of the human body, revealed at Women’s Journal. “It is now accepted that there are a certain number of foods that are harmful to the body and that, through this means, will increase senescence, a negative process of aging that results in a degradation of cell functions and a weakening of the body’s various systems.“, he explained. So here’s what you should avoid eating.
Foods to eliminate
It is no great surprise that the expert advises against anything that contains too much sugar, whether it is fast, like cakes and sweets, or slow, like bread or pasta. We consume too easily sugars whose addictive effect we know and which will saturate our capacity to metabolize them. This will result in situations of chronic increase in our blood sugar and will lead to glycation, a mechanism that plays an important role in our senescence. We find it at all levels of the body: the brain, eyes, arteries, nerves, connective tissue and in particular the skin“, explained the specialist. It should also be noted that according to him, the consumption of fast sugars can create a spike in blood sugar levels which, once it has fallen, will push us to return to sugar a little later in the day.
Other foods to avoid are those that contain too much fat: “Excessive consumption of saturated fats leads to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases which will promote aging but which do not have a direct impact on the latter as is the case with sugars.“ So farewell to all that is cheese, pastries or fried foods!
Drinks to avoid
Be careful, there is something else that Christophe de Jaeger recommends to abandon: alcohol. According to him, it is “doubly toxic. On the one hand, because alcohol molecules are toxic to the brain, liver, and nerves. And on the other hand, because alcohol is toxic through its transformation into sugar. It therefore becomes a metabolic toxin.” So he alerts people” who are used to drinking two glasses of red wine a day” and urges them to stop this practice. No, drinking red wine every day would not be so good for your health!
