By slowing down the speed of food absorption, dietary fibers help control blood sugar levels and thus prevent accelerated aging.
Dietary fibers, complex carbohydrates, are unique in that they are not digested by the body. They are found mainly in fruit, vegetables, legumes and cereals.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of dietary fiber in the fight against obesity and the prevention of age-related diseases such as diabetes and certain cancers.
Several mechanisms have been put forward to explain these benefits (1). Among them, fiber, by slowing the rate of carbohydrate absorption, helps control and lower blood glucose levels.
Combined with a low-glycemic diet, dietary fiber is an excellent way to promote healthy aging. Since Western diets are low in fiber, it is recommended to increase their intake, in particular by eating legumes and wholegrain cereals.
Beware, however, of the great variability between individuals in their glycemic response to identical foods, which calls for a personalized, monitored dietary approach (2).

[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
