A low glycemic index diet prevents glycation and promotes healthy aging.
The glycemic index classifies foods according to their effect on blood sugar, that is to say the sugar level in the blood after ingestion. Foods rich in fiber have a low glycemic index.
This concept is based on the fact that consumption of dietary fiber regulates the influx of nutrients into the intestine, thereby regulating blood sugar levels.
Numerous studies show that a low-glycemic index diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, is associated with a lower risk of developing age-related diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease (1).
The explanation: a diet with a high glycemic index leads to a systemic accumulation of glycation-derived AGEs in the body (2).
Conversely, a low-glycemic index diet, by reducing glycation accumulation, promotes healthy aging.

[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
