Do you eat these foods that HARM your blood sugar and age your
joints and skin faster? Some are even deceptively marketed to you as
"healthy" by giant food corporations. Avoid or minimize these and look
5-10 years YOUNGER than your real age.

Due to biochemical reactions in your body that occur with every type
of food you eat on a daily basis, some foods age you FASTER than your
real age, while other foods help to FIGHT aging.
Eat the wrong foods regularly, and you can look and feel 10 or more
years OLDER than your real age (not fun!) ... but eat the right foods,
and over time, you can start to look 5-10 years YOUNGER than your real age.
Three of the processes that go on inside your body that have a MAJOR
impact on your rate of aging are called "glycation", "inflammation",
and "oxidation".
When we talk about aging, we're not just talking about wrinkles on your
skin or how thick your hair is... we're also talking about factors that
you can't see, such as how well your organs function, and whether your
joints are degrading.
Yes, I'm sure you'll agree this is much more important than just how you
look superficially (although we'll show you how to improve BOTH below!)
With the title of this article, you might have guessed that obvious answers
like sugar or trans fat would be what we talk about in this article.
Yes, we all already know those are bad, but I want to discuss another
food that ages your body faster than normal... and it's one that you
might not expect!
So let's dig right in and I'll show you how your rate of aging can be
directly related to the foods you might eat every day, and how to
protect yourself...
The #1 WORST food that ages you faster:
Wheat based foods (yes, even "whole wheat")
Before I tell you why wheat can actually speed up the aging process in
your body, let's clarify some simple biochemistry in your body...
This deals with "glycation" in your body, and substances called Advanced
Glycation End Products (AGEs). These nasty little compounds called AGEs
speed up the aging process in your body including damage over time to your
organs, your joints, and of course, wrinkled skin.
So with that said, what is one of the biggest factors that increase
production of AGEs inside your body? This may surprise you, but high
blood sugar levels over time dramatically increase age-accelerating
AGEs in your body. This is why type 2 diabetics many times appear that
they have not aged well and look older than their real age.
But this age-increasing effect is not just limited to diabetics.
So, let's get back to how "whole wheat" relates to this...
Here is a little-known fact that's often covered up by the massive
marketing campaigns by giant food companies that want you to believe
that "whole wheat" is healthy for you... but the fact is that wheat
contains a very unusual type of carbohydrate (not found in other foods)
called Amylopectin-A, which has been found in some tests to spike your
blood sugar HIGHER than even pure table sugar.
In fact, amylopectin-A (from wheat) raises your blood sugar MORE than
almost any other carbohydrate source on earth based on blood sugar
response testing that's documented in studies.
This means that wheat-based foods such as breads, bagels, cereals,
muffins, and other baked goods often cause MUCH higher blood sugar
levels than most other carbohydrate sources. If you don't believe me,
here's something you should know... I ran personal blood sugar tests
on myself using a blood glucometer about 45 minutes after eating 2 slices
of wheat bread vs eating a bowl of oatmeal, with equivalent grams of carbs.
The blood sugar test results:
2 slices of whole wheat toast:
45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar spiked from 86 fasting level to 155.
1 Bowl of Oatmeal (equivalent grams of carbs to 2 slices wheat toast)
45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar raised from 86 fasting level to 112
As you know now, the higher your average blood sugar levels are over time,
the more AGEs are formed inside your body, which makes you age FASTER.
Clearly, the whole wheat spiked blood sugar MUCH higher than the oatmeal,
and if you don't know, 155 is a massive blood sugar reading that will
certainly contribute to faster aging if you eat wheat frequently.
You've probably also heard about the potential health-damaging effects
of gluten (another problematic compound found in wheat that can cause
inflammation in your digestive system) in the news recently, but this
blood sugar aspect we just covered is not talked about that often,
and is yet another reason to reduce or eliminate wheat-based foods
in your diet. Your body will thank you by aging slower and looking YOUNGER!
And losing bodyfat is typically another fun side effect of eliminating
or reducing wheat in your diet!
Yet another problem with wheat-based foods and aging...
As it turns out, baked wheat products contain carcinogenic chemicals
called acrylamides that form in the browned portion of breads, cereals,
muffins, etc. These carcinogenic acrylamides have been linked in studies
to possible increased risk of cancer and accelerated aging.
Note that acrylamides are also found in high levels in other browned
carbohydrate sources such as french fries or any other browned starchy foods.
Don't worry though... There's a trick that you can use to protect yourself
from these carcinogenic acrylamides, and it has to do with eating the
RIGHT foods that COUNTERACT damage from these nasty chemicals.

the next page!
Other foods to watch out for that can increase aging in your body
include corn-based foods that also disrupt blood sugar highly
(corn cereals, corn chips, corn syrup), soybean oil and other "vegetable" oils
that contain excessively refined and processed fats that cause inflammation
in your body, and also excess sugars from candies, cakes, and sweetened drinks.
But the good news is...
We'll show you how to find plenty of delicious foods, spices, herbs,
and nutrients that PROTECT your body from aging on the next page!
