Anti-Glycation Diet

Meaning

An Anti-Glycation Diet is a nutritional strategy specifically formulated to minimize the non-enzymatic binding of sugars to proteins and lipids, a process known as glycation, thereby reducing the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). This dietary approach focuses on reducing the intake of simple sugars and minimizing the consumption of foods that are already high in external AGEs, such as those cooked at high heat. The primary objective is to preserve the structural integrity and youthful function of the body’s long-lived proteins, including collagen and elastin. Implementing this diet is considered a proactive measure in both metabolic health and dermatological longevity.
