Do you eat
these foods that HARM your blood sugar and age your joints and skin
faster? Some are even deceptively
marketed to you as "healthy" by giant food corporations. Avoid or minimize these and look 5-10 years
YOUNGER than your real age.
Due to
biochemical reactions in your body that occur with every type of food you eat
on a daily basis, some foods age you FASTER than your real age, while other
foods help to FIGHT aging.
Eat the
wrong foods regularly, and you can look and feel 10 or more years OLDER than
your real age (not fun!) ... but eat the right foods, and over time, you can
start to look 5-10 years YOUNGER than your real age.
Three of the
processes that go on inside your body that have a MAJOR impact on your rate of
aging are called "glycation", "inflammation", and
"oxidation".
When we talk
about aging, we're not just talking about wrinkles on your skin or how thick
your hair is... we're also talking about factors that you can't see, such as
how well your organs function, and whether your joints are degrading.
Yes, I'm
sure you'll agree this is much more important than just how you look
superficially. With the
title of this article, you might have guessed that obvious answers like sugar
or trans fat would be what we talk about in this article. Yes, we all already know those are bad, but I
want to discuss another food that ages your body faster than normal... and it's
one that you might not expect!
So let's dig
right in and I'll show you how your rate of aging can be directly related to
the foods you might eat every day, and how to protect yourself...
The #1 WORST
food that ages you faster:
Wheat based
foods (yes, even "whole wheat")
Before I
tell you why wheat can actually speed up the aging process in your body, let's
clarify some simple biochemistry in your body...
This deals
with "glycation" in your body, and substances called Advanced
Glycation End Products (AGEs). These
nasty little compounds called AGEs speed up the aging process in your body
including damage over time to your organs, your joints, and of course, wrinkled
skin.
So with that
said, what is one of the biggest factors that increase production of AGEs
inside your body? This may surprise you,
but high blood sugar levels over time dramatically increase age-accelerating
AGEs in your body. This is why type 2
diabetics many times appear that they have not aged well and look older than
their real age. But this age-increasing
effect is not just limited to diabetics.
So, let's
get back to how "whole wheat" relates to this...
Here is a
little-known fact that's often covered up by the massive marketing campaigns by
giant food companies that want you to believe that "whole wheat" is
healthy for you... but the fact is that wheat contains a very unusual type of
carbohydrate (not found in other foods) called Amylopectin-A, which has been
found in some tests to spike your blood sugar HIGHER than even pure table
sugar.
In fact,
amylopectin-A (from wheat) raises your blood sugar MORE than almost any other
carbohydrate source on earth based on blood sugar response testing that's
documented in studies.
This means
that wheat-based foods such as breads, bagels, cereals, muffins, and other
baked goods often cause MUCH higher blood sugar levels than most other
carbohydrate sources. If you don't
believe me, here's something you should know... I ran personal blood sugar
tests on myself using a blood glucometer about 45 minutes after eating 2 slices
of wheat bread vs eating a bowl of oatmeal, with equivalent grams of carbs.
The blood
sugar test results:
2 slices of
whole wheat toast:
45 minutes
after consumption: Blood sugar spiked
from 86 fasting level to 155.
1 Bowl of
Oatmeal (equivalent grams of carbs to 2 slices wheat toast)
45 minutes
after consumption: Blood sugar raised
from 86 fasting level to 112
As you know
now, the higher your average blood sugar levels are over time, the more AGEs
are formed inside your body, which makes you age FASTER. Clearly, the whole wheat spiked blood sugar
MUCH higher than the oatmeal, and if you don't know, 155 is a massive blood
sugar reading that will certainly contribute to faster aging if you eat wheat
frequently.
You've
probably also heard about the potential health-damaging effects of gluten
(another problematic compound found in wheat that can cause inflammation in
your digestive system) in the news recently, but this blood sugar aspect we
just covered is not talked about that often, and is yet another reason to
reduce or eliminate wheat-based foods in your diet. Your body will thank you by aging slower and
looking YOUNGER!
And losing
bodyfat is typically another fun side effect of eliminating or reducing wheat
in your diet!
Yet another
problem with wheat-based foods and aging...
As it turns
out, baked wheat products contain carcinogenic chemicals called acrylamides
that form in the browned portion of breads, cereals, muffins, etc. These carcinogenic acrylamides have been
linked in studies to possible increased risk of cancer and accelerated
aging. Note that acrylamides are also
found in high levels in other browned carbohydrate sources such as french fries
or any other browned starchy foods.
Don't worry
though... There's a trick that you can use to protect yourself from these
carcinogenic acrylamides, and it has to do with eating the RIGHT foods that
COUNTERACT damage from these nasty chemicals.

Other foods
to watch out for that can increase aging in your body include corn-based foods
that also disrupt blood sugar highly (corn cereals, corn chips, corn syrup),
soybean oil and other "vegetable" oils that contain excessively
refined and processed fats that cause inflammation in your body, and also
excess sugars from candies, cakes, and sweetened drinks.
But the good
news is...
