From Glucose to Glycation: The Unseen Cooking of Life

Glycation is a fundamental process that occurs in the human body akin to cooking food, where proteins and sugars react and lead to browning, signifying aging. This process not only affects the external appearance, such as skin wrinkles, but also indicates internal deterioration of organs over time. From birth, the body undergoes continuous glycation, impacting the quality of cartilage and other tissues, which darken as one ages. High glucose levels heighten glycation, further accelerating the aging process and damaging the mitochondria, which can lead to increased aging symptoms and health issues. Understanding this connection emphasizes the importance of managing glucose spikes to mitigate the adverse effects of glycation.
