Exposure to dioxins, toxic molecules produced by combustion, has a synergistic effect with glycation in accelerating aging.
Dioxins are highly toxic chemical compounds produced by combustion. Persistent organic pollutants, their presence is constantly increasing as a result of growing industrialisation.
These molecules are highly stable and poorly degradable, allowing them to accumulate in the fatty tissues of living organisms. Humans are mainly exposed to dioxins through the consumption of meat and fish.
Repeated doses of dioxins have deleterious effects on health, including the decline and death of the organisms affected.
Studies have shown that dioxins and glycation (a kind of ‘caramelisation’ of the body resulting from over-consumption of sugar) have a synergistic effect, leading to accelerated aging and the development of age-related metabolic diseases, in particular through impaired glucose metabolism (1 & 2).
Reducing exposure to dioxins and glycation is an effective strategy for combating aging and age-related diseases:
– Reduce consumption of animal fats and sugar.
– Limit exposure to pollutants from combustion.
– Avoid high-temperature cooking.

[Glycation is one of the major causes of aging. Resulting from the fixation of sugars on the proteins constituting the organism, glycation generates toxic compounds that cause cellular aging. Glycation is particularly involved in metabolic disorders, skin aging and cognitive decline.] [AGE BREAKER, patented nutritional supplements, based on rosmarinic acid, recognized by aging specialists around the world for their properties to reverse the effects of glycation.]More on www.agebreaker.com
