Sometimes you just have to come right out and say it: AGEs make you old and wrinkled. That’s the subject of this Business 2 Community article. If you’ve ever wanted to know the Advanced Glycation End-product (AGE) story, this is a great resource. The article takes you, step by step, through all the frequently asked questions: What is glycation? What are AGEs? How do AGEs contribute to premature aging, and so on.

Take some time to familiarize yourself with AGEs by reading this article right away! The focus of the article is how sugar makes you old and wrinkled. “Most people know that sugar and refined carbohydrates are bad for them,” the article says, “but they aren’t always certain how or why they’re so detrimental to our health.”

It goes on to explain the process of glycation, and introduces AGEs.

Glycation happens when a sugar molecule attaches itself to a lipid or protein molecule and in doing so, changes healthy tissue into tissue that is hard and rigid. This tough glycated tissue causes the skin to become wrinkled and also causes internal damage to organs that need flexible tissue to stay healthy.

Glycated tissue is also very dangerous because it produces toxic compounds called Advanced Glycation End-products(AGEs).

These molecules go by a highly appropriate acronym, because they are deeply damaging to the body and assist in rapidly advancing the aging process.

They are the most toxic product of glycation, and must be the immediate focus of reduction in your body to maintain health and vitality.

This comprehensive article explains how AGEs are formed, why AGEs are toxic, how to reduce glycation in our bodies, and more. If you want to be AGE aware, take three minutes to read this excellent article on Business2Community.com. You will be happy you did!
