AGEs: The Surprising Link Between our Diet and Aging [Advanced Glycation End Products]

For those that don't know. This is one of the most brilliant doctors in the world. He saved my life in the cath lab last year. Being a practitioner myself and in cardiology for 25 years , I can assure you that his skill level is impossibly high. I'd not be typing this without him. Please listen to his teachings. He is not wrong. Thank you Dr. J.

I am a nuclear molecular physician, I am enlightened by this presentation on AGEs, great knowledge, wise doctor..God bless him..lots of respect regards and love❤ from chennai India

finally new video by our beloved doctor

Sure wish when I was younger I knew this. But its never too late . By changing my diet and fasting I have seen good changes. I am 74. Thank you for this information.

Thanks to you I stopped consuming added sugar (I dont miss it at all), eating only whole foods and fasting. My health improved very quickly ❤️ found you 5 months ago and you saved my life. 15kg gone so far. Thank you. Salut from Azores Islands, Portugal

He saved my life in 1998 after my cardiologist gave me a death sentence. He has guided my path since then as a doctor, a mentor, and a friend. Carl R., Orlando

🎯 Key points for quick navigation: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are harmful compounds formed when sugars attach to proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids, causing damage to various bodily functions. AGEs contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, and premature aging, leading to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, kidney problems, and neurodegenerative conditions. AGEs can be generated not only from high blood sugar levels (diabetes) but also from other factors like high fructose intake, lipid peroxidation, alcohol consumption, and smoking. Consumption of processed foods, especially those high in sugars and fats, increases AGEs in the body, affecting the microbiome and overall health. Continuous glucose monitoring is crucial for understanding individual sugar responses and managing AGE formation. Inhibiting AGE formation can be achieved through lifestyle changes, including dietary modifications, reducing sugar intake, and practicing intermittent fasting. Certain vitamins and natural compounds like curcumin, alpha lipoic acid, and flavonoids found in vegetables and herbs can help counteract the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the body. AGEs are formed when sugars in food combine with proteins and fats during cooking, especially through processes like reheating, frying, baking, and grilling, leading to tissue damage and various health issues. Foods high in sugar, processed foods, and animal products are particularly rich in AGEs, with cooking methods like frying and grilling exacerbating AGE formation. Consuming moist-cooked foods, marinating with lemon or vinegar, and avoiding high-temperature cooking methods can help reduce AGE formation. Processed meats, fried foods, and high-carb items are among the worst offenders for AGE content, while fruits, vegetables, and moist-cooked proteins tend to have lower levels. Proper cooking techniques such as poaching, stewing, or steaming can significantly lower AGE levels in food, making them healthier options. Understanding the formation and impact of AGEs can help individuals make informed dietary choices to mitigate health risks associated with AGE consumption. 53:16: Cook pasta al dente for fewer AGEs; avoid overcooking grains and legumes to minimize AGE formation. 54:26: Opt for raw nuts over roasted ones to reduce AGEs and lipid peroxidation. 55:45: High-fat spreads like cream cheese and mayonnaise are high in AGEs; choose ghee or refined coconut oil instead for lower oxidation. 56:26: Avoid dry heat-prepared snacks like crackers and cookies to minimize AGE intake. 57:08: Fasting reduces glycation and slows aging; intermittent fasting can improve health markers and longevity. 59:28: Lower AGE intake improves collagen health and reduces skin aging. 01:02:16: Inhaling AGEs from cooking oils can harm lung health; avoid inhaling smoke from high-temperature cooking. 01:06:45: Three golden rules to reduce AGEs: avoid vegetable seed oils, alcohol, and processed foods; opt for fresh, unprocessed ingredients. 01:07:55: Honey, especially heated, is high in fructose and AGEs; limit consumption for better metabolic health. 01:10:32: Methylated B12 complex supplements can aid in AGE reduction and improve genetic expression. 01:13:08: Intermittent fasting can improve health markers and reduce inflammation; protein intake is crucial during fasting to support detoxification and ketogenesis. 01:15:12: Calcium score and epigenetic aging clock offer insights into arterial and physiological age; anti-inflammatory lifestyle and diet are key for arterial health

I flew from LA to see him 🙏 I will continue to see him 🙏♥️🙏 the man is full of wealth of wisdom 🙏 blessings 🙏

Can't get enough of your vids , my Sunday fix, Doc you and Jason Fung along with Dr Sten Ekburg. Please don't stop creating this content

From a 54 year old quadruple bypass patient God bless you for your compassion and information 🙏

Ive lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks from intermittent fasting of 1 meal a day with low carb and protein and greens. Ive had eczema my whole life and its gone, my chronic painful acid reflux is gone and my irritable bowel syndrome is gone, I sleep better no more waking up and can't fall back asleep, I have energy which I haven't had in 30 years. I already need smaller pants and I can see the weight loss in my face.

I'm addicted to his videos! Everything he says makes so much sense!

I used to know THAT they are bad, now I at last know WHY. Thanks for sharing with members of the public

Hands down the most profound lecture I have ever heard. After looking up this Doctors credentials, and listening to his passion on prevention of CAD and many other diseases, Ive subscribed. He literally saves lives as a cardiologist. Also, he inspires and educates people on how food effects the body. One can think that they are eating healthy, managing their lipids, sugars, but have no idea that grilling our food or cooking in high temp is contributing to disease. Discovering AGEs is revolutionary.

My favorite doctor!

I’m a survivor of my first 70 years. Today’s video ties so much of my missing information. I’m 77 now and have recovered so well, now I have more of the story. Thanks Doctor.

I pressure cook A LOT of my food - glad to hear Dr. J gives it the thumbs up! So quick, so convenient, so nutritious.

I have always regarded him as a world class since I first watched him some years ago. Thanks for confirming my notion.

:thanksdoc:You are such a teacher! It takes a special additional talent to be an excellent teacher, who is one who can SIMPLIFY THE COMPLICATED, which is also my definition for genius. I love all your lectures and admire your pedagogic skills endlessly. Thank you for this wonderful lecture.

PERTH AUSTRALIA.....WE ARE WATCHING YOUR LIVE CLIPS FROM PERTH...MANY OCEANS AWAY FROM WHERE YOU CURRENTLY LIVE........YOUR WORK & RESEARCH IS FANTASTIC....THANK YOU DR......PLEASE KEEP EDUCATING US ALL.....WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.....DR..YOU ARE INDEED "...
