These 4 Foods Accelerate AGING (beware!)

These 4 Foods Accelerate AGING (beware!)


Do you eat these harmful foods that AGE you faster?  Some are even deceptively marketed as “healthy”

Avoid or minimize these and look 5-10 years YOUNGER


I’m not particularly bothered about getting older, but that’s probably because I think I’m ageing OK.  I’m fit enough to have a go at most things, my lean muscle is good and I keep my body fat% is under control. I feel able to keep up with girls half my age and wouldn’t worry about the prospect of a swimsuit beach holiday..  BUT I think that’s down to the choices I make when it comes to exercise, smoking and alcohol and especially food…..





Yes, I’m sure you’ll agree this is much more important than just how you look superficially (although improving BOTH IS BETTER!)

So let’s see how your rate of aging can be directly related to the foods you might eat every day, and how to protect yourself…


Food #1 that ages you faster: 

Wheat (yes, even “whole wheat”)






Here is a little-known fact that’s often covered up… but the fact is that wheat contains a very unique 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.








Another problem with wheat-based foods and aging…


Food #2 that ages you faster:  Corn-based foods

 corn syrup, corn cereal, corn chips, corn oil


This is quite a variety of stuff that you might eat every day… we’re talking corn chips, corn cereals, corn oil, and also the biggest health-damaging villain that gets most of the media attention, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

We already talked in detail in the last section about wheat regarding the blood sugar process and it’s relation to age-accelerating formation of nasty “AGEs” in your body.

Well, corn-based starchy foods such as corn cereals, corn chips, etc also have a big impact on blood sugar levels and therefore can increase AGEs in your body and accelerate aging.


But here’s another nail in the coffin for corn… it turns out that scientists have found out that the fructose in HFCS causes 10x more formation of AGEs in your body than glucose!  Yes, that’s right… that means the HFCS you consume daily in sweetened drinks, and most other processed foods (yes, even salad dressings and ketchup) contribute to faster aging in your body… as if you needed yet another reason to avoid or minimize HFCS!


We’re not finished yet… it gets even worse…

Another major issue with corn-based foods and corn oils is that these foods contribute excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids to your diet, which causes an imbalance in your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio and leads to inflammation and oxidation within your body. Another example of corn-based foods aging you FASTER.


My advice:  Avoid or reduce corn-based foods like corn chips and corn cereal as much as possible. These aren’t as bad as wheat in relation to blood sugar, and they don’t contain gut-damaging gluten like wheat does, but they are still bad for you.  Corn syrup or corn oil, avoid as much as you can if you want to stay lean and young looking.



Food #3 that ages you faster:  

Sugar, sugary foods, certain starchy foods
Again, we get back to the relationship between your average blood sugar levels and blood sugar spikes over time, and how that can increase those age-accelerating compounds called AGEs in your body.

Sugar is an obvious one to avoid.  You’ve heard how bad it is for you 1000 times before for many other reasons, including your waistline and developing type 2 diabetes.

But now you also understand the aging effect of sugar.

Instead of sugar, consider using a natural non-caloric sweetener like Stevia in your daily coffee, tea, in baking, and other sweetening needs.  This dramatically helps you control your blood sugar response and thereby help slow aging.

This also means that you should think twice about sugary desserts, sugary cereals, chocolates, and other sweets that are contributing to aging you faster.


A good trick to satisfy a sweet tooth is to have 1-2 squares of dark chocolate after dinner instead of a normal full dessert that most people choose.  You only get about 2 grams of sugar in 1-2 squares of dark chocolate as opposed to 40-80 grams of age-accelerating sugar in a typical cake, ice cream, or brownie type of dessert.


Keep in mind that some starchy foods like white rice, oatmeal, and white potatoes can also have significant impacts on your blood sugar and thereby can increase formation of AGEs in your body.  These foods are best kept in small portions if you decide to eat them, and balanced with healthy fats and protein to slow the blood sugar response.



Food #4 that ages you faster:  

Soybean oil, canola oil, or other “vegetable oils”
I know these have been marketed to you over the years by giant food companies as “healthy”, but if you understand the biochemistry and how these highly-processed oils react inside your body, you would quickly see how false that is.

First, anything labelled soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, vegetable oil, or cottonseed oil (these are in a LOT of processed foods you probably eat) have usually been refined under extremely high heat and use of chemical solvents such as hexane.

This leaves you with an oil where the polyunsaturated fats have undergone a lot of oxidation and are therefore VERY inflammatory inside your body, producing free radicals, damaging your cell membranes, contributing to faster aging, heart disease, and other possible health problems.


If you want to avoid the health-damaging effects of soybean, canola, corn and other “vegetable oils”, make sure to avoid them as much as you can, and instead opt for truly healthy oils and fats such as extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil, virgin coconut oil (a healthy source of MCT fats), and grass-fed butter (a great source of healthy CLA fats).
